Hello This is my first time ever having turkeys and I am so lost with sexing mine. I started with 3 turkeys but lost one as a poult so now I just have one bourbon red and one blue slate. They are currently about 8 months old. The bourbon red is much more friendly so I have more photos of ‘him’...

That is frustrating I’m not an expert, but I think that does qualify as a paint chick. Also, more often than not my paint chicks will become even more spotted as their adult ‘feathers’ come in. White silkies are gorgeous as adults! They’re some of my favourites. Do the chicks look frizzled? You...

These are my Rouen pekin mixed ducklings that just hatched. I also have a pair of white call ducks in with them but I have never seen them breed. I believe 1/2 of them have a Rouen mom and a pekin dad, while the other 1/2 have a pekin mom and a Rouen dad.

Okay, thank you very much

Okay, thank you so much. I’m not sure why but I didn’t get these notifications until now

Was it a big bumble like this one? (I think bumble is the term lol)

Okay thank you. By looking at the photos, do you think the gooses foot could’ve gotten this bad in just 4 days? I haven’t seen bumble foot in any of my other birds. I really don’t think her foot is my fault, but I’m not sure at all how quickly bumblefoot develops

Thank you so much. This is very helpful. How long does it look like this that been developing? And how long does it take to become fatal? I have my ducks & geese on straw right now, I add more on top every day or two.

Okay, thank you very much. Does this look like it’s been developing for a while? I’ve never dealt with bumblefoot before

Hi I bought a goose 8 days ago. About 4 days ago I noticed this on her foot. There is a smaller one on her other foot, too. Is this bumblefoot? And if so how long do you think it took to develop this bad? Thank you

Thank you so much for that link. I just read through all of it and I’m still not sure what it could be. The chickens are sneezing, making noise while breathing, and have diarrhea. I had a chick die suddenly a week or two ago, but I believe it was before the sneezing started here. My hens...

Possibly, but the chicks started sneezing before I even had them on shavings, so I’m not sure if it’s the shavings making them sneeze

I use wood shavings both in the coop and in the brooder, but the chicks sneezing started when I was still using paper towel as bedding. I last cleaned out the coop beginning of January, and have since only added shavings not removed them. The barn isn’t very well ventilated. I will see if we can...

I thought that this was a respiratory infection. What do you think it could be?

Hi! I have 13 Silkies & 2 polishes in a horse stall (converted to coop) in the barn. The polish are in a smaller pen in the coop for now. I did not isolate quick enough when I noticed 1 or 2 hens sneezing almost 3 weeks ago. I ordered Tylan soluble (add it into water) and received it and now...

Are you in any of the backyard chickens / Ontario poultry / hatching eggs Canada Facebook groups? There are TONS of hatching eggs there

Here are photos of the incubator, as I could be wrong about the make/model. Also, there was this fluff right near the turning unit? I had to pull it out. The incubator hadn’t been used in a year or two I believe, until they tested it out before selling it to me.

Hi! I just bought an old used sportsman cabinet incubator the other day. I believe it is the 1202. It has held temperature perfectly, but the racks have not been rotating. The seller told me they had been rotating before I picked the incubator up. I am fine with getting parts, just I don’t know...

would regular electrolytes work? or do I need to buy the vitamin E tablets?

Hi I have a silkie chick who just hatched a day or two ago. Today, when I took the chicks out of the incubator, I noticed that one of the chicks has wry neck. It wasnt super bad at first, just a bit crooked looking off to the side, but it’s already progress so much that the chick can barely...
