    Hen came back after missing for 5 days!

    wow, neat stories! I have a similar one to share. we had a hen that was accidentally shot with a bow when someone was practicing archery one day, she fully recovered in a few days though. it just made her leg bent in at an angle and she kinda walked like she had a "peg leg" so that's what we...

    How much Tylosin powder in water?

    ok, Thanks! I discovered that he will do anything for some scrambled eggs so I can coax him into areas if I have to using those.

    How much Tylosin powder in water?

    okay, yes I am aware of that. I am not able to take him to a vet. first I would have to catch him which would be nearly impossible, and I'd have to get him in a cage. I did get a fecal done twice but that was just to check for cocci and worms. we also live a good ways away from a vet so that...

    How much Tylosin powder in water?

    He's had some kind if respiratory infection for a long time now so I got this to see if it would help.

    How much Tylosin powder in water?

    My peacock os about a year old. I just need to know how much Tylosin powder to put in his water per gallon. The pack i got is for pigeons and says 1 teaspoon per gallon but online I saw for peacocks online someone said 1 1/2 teaspoons for 6 gallons. This doesn't seem right proportionally so I...

    Babies hatching on day 18?!

    Wow, that's pretty interesting. do you happen to know if maybe the eggs were being sat on for a few days before you put them in. I may be wrong but I'd imagine changes in temperature wouldn't cause faster development. I would probably guess that they had already started developing before you put...

    Help! Pipped but hasn’t zipped!

    Since it hasn't hatched, and it's been over 24 hours, I would probably look into helping a little more. I usually get a damp warm cloth and rap it around the side of the egg lightly and on the bottom. this can help to moisten the membrane. The fact that she isn't rotating in the egg, from my...

    Possible mite solution?

    Hmm, that's an interesting solution. If they seem to come back I'd look into making a dust bathing box for them, if you can. I just get some cheap sand from walmart, some diatomaceous earth from the farmers market, mix it all together, and throw it in a small shallow box of some sort. If you...

    Egg laying inside the feeder?

    Lol, I had this exact same problem with my bantams with this exact same feeder! They jump down in there and lay the eggs. the way I solved this was wiring a board down on top of it. doesn't look great but at least they can't get in it anymore. you could also try to fashion some kind of...

    Incubator humidity - is it ok to fluctuate??

    I would imagine this should be fine. I have my homemade refrigerator-incubator set so it comes on at ~56% and goes off at ~58% purposefully so the humidifier isn't constantly kicking on. this seems to work fine for me. As long as the humidity doesn't drop below ~55% or go much over ~60% it...

    Looking for ~6 month old Peahen in western KY.

    I was recently given Rooster Booster powder, would it be ok to give that to Peafowl some time?

    Looking for ~6 month old Peahen in western KY.

    I'm pretty sure it's just the dust because they were completely fine when we got them but as soon as they got in the barn they started sneezing.

    They did a fecal but that was fine.

    Looking for ~6 month old Peahen in western KY.

    He is still sneezing a bit but I'm hoping a few more days of free range will clear this right up. They've been in the back of a dusty barn all winter while we were getting them used to their new home. We've had a Vet involved, they said to just get as much ventilation as possible and try to cut...
