I was planning on buying this outdoor dog run to convert in to a shelter for my turkeys to roost in. However, I have a fear of lightning strikes and am needing to know if that is something that would kill them in this. It's made of galvanized steel, I was hoping to add tarps and a wooden...

So a couple weeks ago my 4 year old turkey, Brittany, had foam in the corner of his eyes and without any other symptoms the vet recommended just keeping an eye on him. I took him in to the vet when he started stumbling, spinning in a circle and flipped on to his back once, the vet gave him...

I have a cold and can't seem to do the maths but my sparrow definitely has worms. I have Aviverm to dose his water with but can't figure out the dosage. He weighs 36 grams. The only information I can find is that it's 1ml per 9kg live weight and 4ml per 1L. Can someone help me?

Male muscovies have such thick necks that I stuffed up the last one, I used a hatchet and while he bled out within 20 seconds, it did not cut through the neck and was very traumatic for my brother(10) and I (I can still hear the poor duck gurgling) I think I lack the upper body strength, I'm...

This is David my Muscovy drake, he's a year old now. His feathers look disgusting, not smooth and soft like the girls and he stinks of preening oil. Is this the norm? Here's a Pic of him and the pen he lives in with his girls.

Had a wild turkey hen hatch some chicks a couple days ago. We found 2 still wet chicks in the nest, 1 was pecked to death and the other died 6 hours later despite our attempts to save it. The next afternoon I found 2 more dead, where the hen had spent the night, both of those wet and on their...

I noticed a week ago that this young turkey hen kept pecking at her toes and legs. Now her legs look awful, scabby and brown, she's pecking at her legs constantly, the scales are coming off leaving raw skin underneath. Anyone know what this is? Can I treat it? Is it contagious to our ducks and...

I need to clean some dried gunk from his nostrils and suspect his beak may need trimming. He's a pet, lets me hug him and kiss him, when he is in the mood, but does not like his head being restrained. Are there any techniques that wouldn't be too traumatizing?

I simply want to know if it would be wrong for this guy to have his two sisters as companions? I certainly wouldn't let any babies hatch, wouldn't even let the girls brood but I love his guy and at the moment he is in a pen beside the girls, all alone. I don't want him to be on his own and we...

He is a 3 and a 1/2 month old wild turkey (I live in NZ and rescued him and his brother as 3 week old poults) I have not observed him eat for 3 days and he actively refuses food. He is unusually quiet and walks with his head tucked into his shoulders, very slowly. His feathers are slightly...
