Guess they had a suicide pact lol

I was looking at that but usually they have symptoms. Bloody stool, troubles eating. I inspected them and they had fairly full crops at death. Just so weird that the 3 oldest ones died at the exact same time. crazy. I'm gonna check on the other 3 in the middle of the night and just see. Sucks I...

I use this and it works just fine. Got it from Murdocks 4 5 bucks. I put it in a plastic bag, add chicken close it up to their neck then shake the bag around them.

Oh they are not Cornish X's. Freedom ranger style so 12 week birds.

Hi all, I have some free range type meat birds 6 total. Today I found 3 of them dead in their coop. They were about 6-7 weeks old but not ready for dinner. The other 3 are 5-6 weeks old and seem fine. Yesterday they all seemed fine. eating drinking and ranging. The only thing that was different...

Hi there, I have a year old Royal Palm who had a feather pulled out by something. The follicle now has a bloody stump at the quill. It was bleeding last night and had seemed to dry up but the quill is still in there. My question is should I try to remove it or let him take care of it? He...

I know this post is old but I see your still active. I'm having this exact issue and I'm curious if you had to go to antibiotics or did the vitamins and electrolytes work for you? Thanks.

First turkey egg.

Well yesterday we found our first Turkey egg. Guess that's why she has been broody. Didn't expect her to stay laying in winter though.

Hi there, I'm having issues that last 3 days with bees swarming around my feed containers. There are about 30-50 bees at times. They show up around 10am and leave around dusk. No matter where I set it they come. I'm feeding manna pro triple duty with organic scratch grain mixed in a little...

They are on a timer. I have the heat lamp turning on at 630 and they were already in by then. The only thing that has changed is the two turkeys flying up on top of the run. 6 hens lay and one is molting. I just can't figure it out. I'm going to put the turkeys in early and see if the hens go...

Flockwatcher, they were returning with the lights on still. I've had those lights on for a few weeks and they didn't have an issue. But it's a good idea so I will change the timer so the lights will be off when they return. I'll also switch the heat lamps for 60 watt regular bulbs as I need...

Hi all, I have a pair of Royal Palms that are 8 mos old. I've just got them about a month + 1/2 ago. They live with 7 chickens peacefully. About a week ago I noticed the palm hen started moving around the chicken eggs a little bit. My hens lay in several spot in the coop. Now in the last 3 days...

When ever I get a huge egg from my RIRs it's always a double yolker. Nice surprise although my God that has to hurt lol. They are palm sized.

My two RIRs started around 6mo 2weeks. One of them was laying softies twice a week then bam 1 med 1 large 5-7 a week. My black star was first 5mo 3wk and my astrolorp at 6mo. Welsummers were 7 months and my speckled Sussex was the longest at a week before 8months and she lays bantam sized eggs...

Hi all. I have 7 hens 8-9 months old and lay well. About a month ago I added two royal palm turkeys (a mating pair) 8 months old. My hens never had a problem returning to the coop prior to the turkeys arrival. At first they had separate coops. When I combined the two (it's how I designed the...
