    Wry neck help!

    Dealing with the same with a Cornish cross. Breaks my heart. I’ve been doing nutradrench and electrolytes. Made a slurry of the feed and added oregano and brewers yeast. I understand it’s a vitamin deficiency.

    Where to buy mail order chicks?

    Usually I buy from Murray, but they don't have anything available. Can someone give some names of other mail order chicken outfits?

    Second turkey sick with something...

    No, I don't think it's anything with the legs and he doesn't seem obese. When I get him up and help him walk he can, he just doesn't have any balance.

    Second turkey sick with something...

    Hi! I bought 4 Narraganset turkey's back in April from the feed store. I was hoping for heritage turkeys that I could keep for a few years. Now I'm thinking they might be BBs. Anyway, about a month ago one hen started swelling in her feet. Not bumble, changed feed, soaked, wrapped...

    Getting eggs from non-broody ducks

    Hi! So I just got a mini 7-egg incubator. I want to incubate duck eggs. I have 3 hens and 3 drakes. My hens are laying, but they aren't broody. Being ducks I'm fairly confident most eggs will be fertile, but how do I know for sure? Do I just put them in the incubator and see what happens...

    Any ideas?

    I'm thinking its bumble foot. I can see the scab.

    Any ideas?

    Please let me know if you have any ideas what is wrong. I have an older hen I rescued. I don't know her exact age. I've had her with my flock for a year now. She's bug free, comb looks good, good appetite, no weird respiratory noises or other noises, poop looks fine. She can walk, but then...

    Duck injury

    Boy and I thankful for this site. I never would have thought of pool therapy. He's doing much better today. Seems to be using the leg a bit more, and he's in a better mood, meaning he's crabby that I'm keeping him confined. I think that's a good sign. Thanks for the advice!!

    Duck injury

    So don't put him in the tub? There aren't any visible injuries and he's eating drinking and pooping

    Duck injury

    For the first time in 2 years a blankety blank dog came into my yard and attacked my flock. Killed a rooster and injured two ducks. The one duck seems to have a leg injury. He will move his toes but won't use his leg. I've got him confined and comfortable right now. I've read on this site...

    Male Rouen odd duck in flock

    I have 6 pekins (3 drakes, 3 hens) and one lone drake Rouen. It looks like the Rouen has been ousted from the flock. Tonight he went to bed in the run with the chickens rather than the ducks. I notice the male pekins pick on him in the pool and chase him a lot. I'm wondering if the pekins...

    My chicks won't leave the coop!

    I have a new flock of 5-8 week old chicks. Yesterday I put the finishing touches on the run, and opened the door expecting my brood to dash outside in search of sun, dirt and worms. Alas, they wouldn't come out. So, one by one, I placed each on the down side of the ramp and nudged them into...
