We have a 5 day old chick that we keep finding under the brooder plate on his back and he can't right himself. He stands and walks ok, maybe a little wobbly, when he put him on his feet, but later we find him flipped again. He drinks really well, but isn't eating much. We put electrolytes in the...

Funny... because I said that I know it varies by area and I CANNOT find them listed for sale. I suppose I should have added specifically that I cannot find them listed on the local Craigslist, or any of the adjoining area Craigslists. That is why I asked here.

Not organic feed, just free range and regular chicken feed. The eggs are a little bigger than duck eggs I'd say.

I have two bb white hens that are about a year and a half old. They free range and we've been keeping them as pets (I know, they don't live that long, meant to be processed earlier, etc). They were a gift to my son by a relative when his pet heritage turkey died. Anyway, at this point we are...

I know there is so much posted on this, but I cant seem to find a straight answer... do you dose for three days in a row, or two doses 10 days apart???

Locally I could only find 17% all flock, would that and some scratch grains help fill him out? Corn, oat, milo, sunflower?

My one year old heritage tom seems thin, when I pick him up I can easily feel his keel. He seems so busy strutting and gobbling that he doesn't eat much. I'm worried because my previous tom lost a lot of weight in the fall and winter and passed away. He is in a mixed flock with chickens and two...

Just thought of something, as the blu kote is fading or washing off (I only used it once), could it be leaving a green stain?

Friday evening my young bb white hen was attacked by a red tailed hawk. Her tail is partially torn off with a large puncture just above, and there was blood under her wing but I can't find the injury besides torn out feathers. Initially treated with blu kote and vetricyn, the next morning I...

That was probably the case with the chickens then. Do you think the hen will accept back her chick a few days younger than the others? But the turkeys... we only had one hen, it was her first dozen eggs, was told it was unlikely they'd be fertile, but a predator got her and we decided to try...

Every time I've hatched chicks in the incubator or let mama hen take care of it this year... I have babies hatching days, even a week apart! What is going on? I've been told they should all hatch within a day or two of each other. I've had eggs that I waited a few extra days on, got ready to...

Update 2, both successfully hatched this morning. I guess us newbies just need some hand holding ;)

Update, I picked up the egg and listened to it. There is life, could hear tapping inside. Maybe there's a small hole in the membrane I cant see? I'll leave it alone overnight. Humidity is at 80, forced air incubator.

Had two turkey poults hatch last night, this morning two eggs had a pip in the shell but the membrane wasnt broken. One egg would rock when I talked to it. It's been over 12 hours with no progress and now no movement. Everyone says wait and leave it alone. Should I pick a small hole in the...

Photo is BEFORE I helped.

First time incubating turkey eggs, wasnt expecting them for a few more days, this is day 25. Humidity has been at 50. Surprised to see a poult flopping around! And a second one pipped. So I quickly turned off the turner, but forgot about raising the humidity too. So it's been a few hours and...

Not the best quality but it should give a good idea. @chicknquailmaster19 @coach723

I'm having trouble uploading a video 🤦‍♀️

I should add, using unmedicated 18% starter, chick grit, and they were getting nutri drench and sav a chick probiotics until about a week ago.

Three week old silkie mix chick, acting perfectly healthy otherwise , keeps shaking or flicking his head. Just noticed this today, it is almost constant, even if we pick it up and hold it. I've seen similar posts but never an actual answer or outcome. We lost one from something respitory, lost...
