My turkeys and chickens recently became sick and began dying off rapidly (my pullets and senior birds began showing symptoms Thursday evening and died before Tuesday when the first appointment was available). The symptoms were eyes swollen shut, mouth and sinus discharge, sinus swelling, and...

Thank you! I appreciate the advice. We were just feeding what the lady we got the first two bourbon reds from fed her adult flock. Now that I know it’ll be great not to have to buy a million types of feed! :)

We mix two types together. One is 20% and one is 28%.

Thanks for the advice! So you don’t recommend game bird feed? Is there a brand specifically you recommend of all flock? I know they aren’t all created equal. Thanks again :)

We give them it out of our hands once or twice a week. They get some mixed in with their food everyday but it’s not a really noticeable amount. Should I cut back the amount in their feed?

Tha Thank you for your time in responding to me! It is eating and drinking so I hope he continues to thrive. I have began researching crafting a chair/sling in case it needs it in the future. Again, thank you!

I checked for sores and irritation, there is nothing. Both legs look pretty identical ( I attached pictures in post.) I checked his feet and wiped them with a damp cloth to see if there was anything on them, there did not appear to be. His hocks also look okay. They don’t appear swollen...

I ordered chickens through the mail and they arrived on May 11. Tonight (May 18) I noticed one walking on one leg and holding the other. It has not done this before. These are bantam breed chickens. I have added save a chick to their water. Please help me diagnose the issue and let me know of...
