    Maybe someone here can help

    I withdrew the campaign, I don't see any help coming for a turkey, maybe for a cat or dog, but not for Koba so I'm having a good friend of mine come over to help. We are going to try to lidocaine the foot and go from there. I tried soaking the foot, but it didn't help. The top scab came off but...

    Maybe someone here can help

    The bumble is about the size of half a tennis ball. I considered it and watched several different videos, but not one was as extensive as what I'm seeing. I'm afraid that if I start cutting or pulling, I'll hard healthy tissue and I don't want to cause him excess pain. I've read about other...

    Maybe someone here can help

    I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm desperate. I have a pet turkey, a broad breasted white, named Koba who has a severe case of bumblefoot. The area is about the size of a tennis ball. There no way I can care for it by myself, I need the help of a vet. The only person who actually specializes...

    Will hen leave eggs after one chick hatched?

    This broody hen business has been a mess! I had one hen go broody (Peach), then a few days later another followed (Beaks). They are sitting in a "public" coop and I realized that the broodies were getting kicked out of the nest by other chickens to lay (even though there were many other...

    Feathering slow

    All of my other Cochin chicks are feathering beautifully, but this one still has baby fuzz. Is it just a runt or what's the deal? I got them about 4 weeks or so ago.

    Help, my Tom is dying I think

    He's always had a pretty great appetite, but I've been away all day so I don't know if he has eaten today. I will try to feed him and see if he'll eat. I have multiple freshwater sources available but again, I have not witnessed him drinking today. We do have chickens, peacocks, guineas, and 3...

    Help, my Tom is dying I think

    He was perfectly fine yesterday, healthy considering his breed. This morning I let him out of the coop and didn't really pay any attention to him. I noticed him from afar with his head down. This afternoon I went to check on him and his chest looks sunken in and his neck looks crooked. He's not...

    Turkey hen nesting in flowerbed

    I have a royal Palm/ bourbon red mix hen who has made a nest in my flower bed. She's sitting on at least 4 eggs. She is decently hidden, but its the end of January and we've had unusually warm weather the last couple days (mid 70s) and I'm worried that raccoons will start coming out. I'm not...
