I noticed one of my turkeys was sitting on the ground in the coop today. I thought she might have laid her first egg and wanted to sit on it but I got her to move and no egg. She doesn't look great when she tries to walk. Her wings droop a little and it seems hard to walk. She was sitting the...

I know this is the chicken forum but my turkey poult is having some issues. She pipped externally 36 hours ago. After doing some research I went ahead and carefully assisted her in hatching. That went very well and she's quite active. She seems to have some sort of mass on one of her eyes...

My broody chicken hatched out some small Beltsville Whites!!!

I've very proud to announce my first hen hatch! I gave her some turkey eggs to hatch and she has 5 babies under her. It's been over 24 hours since the first once hatched and she still insists on sitting on the nest. I took out the empty egg shells because she kept pushing them under her for...

My cheepers are still in their brooder pen inside but I wanted to know more about good biosecurity with keeping quail and chickens. I know I should work with the quail first then the chickens. And that they should far apart. I read somewhere that it should be a minimum of 20 feet but the more...

I'm looking for eggs from second generation (or more) quail that has the broodiness trait. I realize this isn't a common trait in them. Let me know how much you charge for them. I'm in Minnesota and would pay for shipping. I'm looking for 2 dozen eggs but I'll take whatever I can get.

I'm trying to get clarification on protein levels for quail at different ages and I'm getting mixed results. I know their protein needs are higher than chickens and I should be giving them game bird feed. My local feed store has turkey feed with protein levels at 28% for starter, 20% for grower...

My favorite 10 week old polish went missing a few days ago. There wasn't any blood in the coop so I looked everywhere for her. I finally accepted that a predator took her. Yesterday we found her crammed between some plywood and the fence. She got herself stuck in there and couldn't get out. I...
