A long time ago I had someone on here recommend Tylan 50 at 1cc per 10 lbs, twice a day for ten days. So previously, as recommended, I have squirted it down the turkey's throat. However, I have a particularly fussy jenny and I was wondering if anyone sees any reason why soaking a piece of break...

Hello! I have raised turkeys for a while and enjoy the turkey section of BYC, but I just got my first trio of Chickens! I got just-hatched Silkies. I was wondering.... with my turkey poults I have always made a soft "purring" or "cooing" noise that the turkeys have always responded to by...

Ok - My poult vomited this morning (and has had other symptoms last few days). I was trying to figure out what was going on - then checked on him in the coop... found a pile of gunk! I inspected it closely and decided it was this little rubber toy that my niece had given them. It was 3"long and...

Can a moderator please delete this? My poult seemed sick and I figured out what it was! Don't want to waste anyones time reading about a resolved issue.. thank you

Hello! I have just given my 6 week old poult Tylan. He stopped last night, so I've started him on yogurt today (organic, non-fat, plain ). I don't want this thread to turn into whether or not yogurt is safe for poultry. I'm an animal science major and have taken animal nutrition courses in...

I tried posting in the turkey forum but haven't gotten many replies. I'm hoping someone will be able to help in some facet, even though it's with a turkey! I had my three (6 wk old) poults out today, foraging in our usual spot... in the grass and under a pine tree for a dust bath. I notice my...

I have a poult that started acting strange today. I posted a thread already but it was sort of lengthy and no replies. Please someone give me some advice? How can I tell if a poult has a fever? Rectal thermometer?? He has been getting worse, walking weird (circling, taking steps back). I don't...

I had a poult born with a bit of a pasty butt... it wasn't brown/diahrrea, but he would have the whitish stuff seeping from his butt. In the morning, when I woke up, I would often find a residue of white on his legs and on his tummy, close to his butt.. and in his little butt feathers. But there...

Hello! So I had my 3 poults (about 6 weeks) out playing today and the one starts hopping around acting freaked out.. we were under a pine tree, dust bathing as usual and foraging in the grass. Nothing out of the ordinary. He was acting like he stepped on something or almost like he was afraid of...

I have 7 poults and one has had like a "weepy" butt? From everything I've read about Pasty Butt (which people warn that they can die from), the concern is that it's hard/thick and blocks the vent. My little guy's is NOT crusty or hard/thick. I have seen him take many normal poops, some big some...

My hen hatched four poults I had to take away and put in a brooder because of the height of her nest and the cold weather too! I Not much has been going on in the last 32 hours since the first hatch.. my hen seems to be pretty much done setting. She hasn't been on the nest all day today and she...

So one of my four new poults (first time hatching and earlier than expected!!) has a leg issue. It's not splayed legs (where he looks like he's doing a full split), but rather sort of looks like the opposite - where his legs seemed scissored out too far apart. He can't really walk, more like...

I need help asap and will TRY to keep this brief. I've got eggs hatching under my hen earlier than I expected. She was hell-bent on nesting on a shelf four feet high in the corner of the coop. I built a little 6" wall on one side but only wide enough for her to set. I planned to build a...

Oh my goodness!!! I have had some questions along the way about candling and such... my hen laid twenty eggs over QUITE a long period and most before I really saw any breeding. I REALLY doubted any were viable, except maybe more recent ones and was going to try candling again this weekend to get...

I have a few questions and would REALLY appreciate any responses/advice! I have a very broody hen (turkey) that just keeps laying eggs so there is a range in how old they are. This is my first experience with candling/hatching/etc. Questions #1: I candled the eggs (some of which are 2-3 weeks...

Hi everyone. I have a hen that's been laying for a month. I decided to try candling (first time). I removed 6 that were either clear or had obvious blood rings, but the rest looked developed. They were real dark with a definite air sac and they looked just like the photos I've seen of developed...

Hey all! I live in NY, recently moved 2 hours upstate for college and plan to move my turkeys with me! The main thing holding me back, however is I can't decide on whether to BUILD a coop or BUY one!! My Dad and Uncle said they'd come up for a day or two but I'm not very construction savvy and...

Im new to turkeys... and raising them wasn't actually a planned thing... long story! haha. Since they've come into my life though, I'm looking to pick up a couple more turkeys. The last turkey I bought to join my flock, was from a little private farm that didn't care for their birds very well...

I have a pet turkey that I really love... symptoms: Severe consistent coughing, open-mouthed breathing, rattling sound, swollen "air-sacs" (think that's what they're called) below eyes, foamy/watery eyes. When I got her she was also very underweight and weak, bad plumage, Very thick discharge...
