I have nine turkey poults and I've noticed their toe nails and beaks are falling off. They weren't clipped as babies and they're broad breasted. Wondering what this is. They seem perfectly healthy otherwise
I am having to separate my girls since they are being hurt. My other fence is broken and if I let them free range they will be eaten. Will an 8x10 all day coop be okay until I can get rid of some boys? I'm thinking it'll be a few months before I can. I will be giving them fresh hay, grass and...

Any hypothesis on what could've caused this? Swollen gizzard, shrunken and purple heart, pale organs, and extremely underweight. There was no fat anywhere on him including his heart. He ate plenty, but started collapsing every month until he suffered a seizure and died. He was a rescue and...
My white Chinese goose got out last night, he had a heat lamp and wind blocks but I guess he never went into them. What's the best I can do to help him? I got him wrapped up in warm towels in a bath. His temperature was only about 90F when I got him in, and he was completely blue. It's reading...
I was wondering what would be a fair price for a mated Egyptian goose pair?
I don't really have the time to take care of them anymore and am looking to adopt them out. The gander has won champion waterfowl and champion goose in two big shows as the Goose has come in second with Reserve...
I have a batch of eggs that are going into lockdown and some that arrived a week late. Would it be dangerous for me to turn the ones that are close to lockdown? It's an automatic incubator I don't know what's better turning the lockdown ones or opening it to turn the week late ones.
I just got news from my vet that my girl Ginger"s broken femur is going to leave her with one working leg. She used to be a free range chicken but a heavy car hood slammed on her and totally broke off her femur. The vet said she is not in pain and should heal just have a leg that is unusable...
E coli from either Dumor or Pride Producers layer pellets killed half my flock, in Texas. I'm not sure exactly which one since both brands were in the barrel. Just a heads-up for people who use these brands and get any birds who die tested for E coli after using these to report. I'd hate for...
Ten dead now. They're always either paralyzed or have parts paralyzed. I'm getting a culture done on one of them. The Muscovy in this photo thankfully looks better after some TLC charcoal chick starter and probiotics his neck is not locked anymore and he can move. There are now three in that are...
All my pet ducks and geese are just dropping dead two days within each other I love them like dogs. Four have died and my cat out of 40. The vet thinks it's toxin but the necropsy wasn't clear. I feel so helpless. No sign of disease just they will be wobbly and then just die randomly. I'm...
My sweet pet goose, Sprite died this morning. He was acting wobbly and had his neck down not able to honk the day before but seemed to get better the night. I stuck him in the quarantine pen and the next morning he was dead. My cat was suspected of intentional posioning by rat poison and died...
My goose just died randomly and I would like to find a free/cheap place in Texas I can send him. Someone purposely killed my cat with rat poison but not sure if it's related.
Any tips on deciding on who to breed this March? These are my three boy swedish flower hens. I am fairly new to chicken breeding and am still learning. Also I need names for the black one and the red one
My chickens were originally supposed to sleep in a modified trailer with ducks in which they for a few days but than started sleeping in the trees for a few months. Since the trailer is now too crowded I made a new coop which they have much more interest in but is there a way to brake their tree...
