    No. It looks clear and there's no redness or discharge. He is six weeks old. No sneezing and nose looks clear. Very healthy chicken except for the one eye.

    Eye issue six week old chick

    I have a crested rooster chick that keeps his left eye closed. Sometimes he opens it and it looks normal (clear, not discolored,oozing, etc.). Any idea as to what is wrong with him and how to treat it is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Help please - Sick turkey poult and chick - housed together

    Thank you! I lost that one little poult during the night. The chick is still hanging in there after the honey, but isn't doing great yet. I have one more little poult that's following the same pattern today. I don't have any antibiotics, but I did get some sand as suggested and game bird starter...

    The insert from the hatchery recommended ACV at a rate of 1/3 cup per quart. I just purged that from their water stations - thanks for letting me know.

    I'm afraid the two pictured are going down fast. They will not take water (I added electrolytes and probiotics) or food. I tried a boiled egg yolk and starter crumbles and they are refusing everything. Can I just put some honey on the edge of the beaks or pry their mouths open a bit to put some...

    Okay - thanks so much. Yes - I avoided the pelleted, but that's how I ended up with a starter crumble for chicks rather than game birds. I'll add grit tomorrow. Thanks again.

    Help please - Sick turkey poult and chick - housed together

    The room temp has ranged between 82 and 90. They are in an enclosed porch area - no drafts, etc. and well insulated. I have two 250 watt brooder lamps on one end of the room, so they can get away from those. I've been refreshing bedding every day, changing water two, sometimes three, times...

    Help please - Sick turkey poult and chick - housed together

    Hello, all. I'm new to turkeys and have a new batch of 40 that arrived with 200 chicks this past Friday. They came from the same supplier, so I have them housed together. They have all looked absolutely beautiful until about 30 minutes ago when I noticed a lethargic turkey poult. I've been...
