I am new with turkeys and I have a royal Palm Tom who is lethargic, not eating, pooping yellow and drinks very little. His wings are drooping and he lays down alot. He keeps his head curled in and doesnt talk much anymore.
Is there anything I can do? Any common disease? He is at little over a...
Lost my Momma Tetra Tint who was laying on some eggs.
She was in a box in the pen of the coop, small hole and a heavy lid. The Box was in the small pen which is 8 ft high with a heavy 5 ft wooden gate. That is surrounded by a 4 ft wire large pen.
All I found were feathers and broken shells...
My young Braham Pullet, 20 wks or so, has just started to get her red facial appadages in and is getting ready to lay.
I noticed today she was laying in the brush quietly and made this " Merrrr" sound every time she breathed out. She is in healthy condition, no wounds and nothing coming from her...
I have new Pekins that about 3-4 months and was wondering how you tell early on who is male and female?
My Khakis have different colored feet and quakes.
Do Pekins have different quakes too? 2 have the Quake and 2 have the Whuck.
But with her long tail and her fluffy feet I am thinking a Partridge Braham...
What you think?
I have more pix, but my phone is not uploading them (Of course). So If anyone needs more I will post some when it uploads.
I have 4 eggs 1 day away from Hatching in the Bator.
Father of all the eggs is Puckerman, a Rhode Island Rock/ Barred Rock cross:
The 2 Green Eggs are from Blondie, my Amerucauna:
Other 2 are from 2 of my Tetra Tints, Red 1 and Red 2:
Any Guesses on Baby looks?
My first shot at Hatching Eggs EVER!! And what did I find when peeking at my 5 eggs today?!?! WHAT HO?! A CRACK!
Can ya tell I am excited? :D
I squeeled with joy and quickly shut off the turner on my Incubator. Now, it said I have 3 days left, so the cracking is a bit early, and I don't know...
My Hens, just under 1 yr old, have slowed down the egg process for winter. No biggie. But when I went out to the coop 4 days ago I found an odd egg. It was Pure White.
Let me explain. I have 8 Girls, 2 Barred rock- Rhode Island Red cross, 3 Tetra Tints, 1 Amerucauna, 1 Silkie and 1 Khaki...
Not the best image, but I was wondering if this Duck Egg looks healthy and fertile? It is 10 days into incubation, on the 6th day I saw veins and the dark baby spot, so I know they were growing. When I checked them today I saw this blob in only half the shell. When I researched eggs, I saw the...
Tine, My white Silkie has been attacked by Puck, my Roo. And now the rest of the flock and Puck are pecking the wound, making it larger.
I removed her from them and placed her inside, gave her a warm bath, cleaned the wound and bought some spray medicine for wounds at TSC. Is there anything...
Blondie FINALLY laid an egg! She is my Easter Egger and is 38 Wks old... ABOUT very TIME WOMEN!! Hard to see in the inside light, but it's blue-ish green:
Next to Santanas Duck Egg:
The Egg-tourage:Blondie (EE), Santana (Khaki Campbell), Mercedes (Rhode Island Barred Rock), Red 1 (TetraTint)...
I kept waking earlier and earlier in the day to discover when my Khaki Campbell, Brittney, laid her egg. 5 AM rolls around and there is still a beautiful white egg, cooled, in the nest.
Well last night I went out at 12:30 AM (midnight) to close the coop, because I had forgotten earlier in the...
Santana, my khaki Campbell hen has not laid for 2 days, and today she was walking around wobbly, and now she can barely walk. She is drinking right now, and her Drake britney is right beside her. But she acts like she can't walk and even let's me pick her up, which she never does. Nothing seems...
I have 8 hens:
2 Rhode Island Rocks
3 Tetra Tints
1 Easter Egger
1 Silkie
1 Khakia Campbell
I also have a Roo and a Drake.
Both RIR and 2 of the TT's plus my duck are laying (Tho the past 2 days my duck has not laid), but nothing from the others. They are well over 22 weeks for all. It's just...
This must be pretty darn close!
Not sure who its from. It's either a Tetra Tint or my Rhode Island Barred Rock. I don't think my Ameruicana is Laying yet and my silkie should'nt be laying pink.
A third hen is laying! Finally! but when I walked out, I found this whopper settled in next to the average eggs!
Zirzes regular egg (Cross of Barred rock and Rhode Island Red):
Santanas largest Egg (Khaki Campbell Duck):
And Mercedes (I think) Eggpido! (Sister to Zirzes):
What was your...
They don't seem like they can fly, only skim across my yard when going from a waddle to run. But should I clip their wings? Or has flyign been bred out of them? They came from TSC.
I am looking to buy a nice well built Coop. The style I am looking at come fro ma local company called Woodtex. For a 6x6 it's around $1400, Here are some photos. My question is, is it worth it? Is that a good price? I know I could never build it this nice...
Here is the info on the coop...
Some of my chooks have redish rashes on their feet. I think this was caused by all the rain we have been having and their coop being mucky. I put down fresh bedding to help with the mudd, though it still is raining, and do to a coyote sighting recentally I am keeping them penned for now...
Sorry guys, just so excited!!!
Finally! Brittany popped one out!!! It's about time you slacking duckie!
I went out to check this morning and in the lower box, BAM! Big white duck egg.
The only thing is it was very dirty and looked like it was pecked at. It might be cuz it's been awful rainy...
