I have a 3 week old Blue Slate poult that has 2 airbubbles under his wings. I dont exactly know what they are but I'm certain theyre air filled. The lower one is right beneath a vein. He acts completely normal and it doesnt hurt when I lightly touch it. Any ideas?

My turkey poults keep dying and I have no idea why. I ordered 15 from Murray Mcmurray and they came in 5 days ago. 2 died in box, and so far almost everyday one has died, leaving us down to 7. Giving them game bird starter, regular water, dry clean shavings everyday and the run of the mill...

What does the grit do for them?

My cousin tossed out a bunch of cherries without knowing geese cant eat the pits. My 4 month old African geese at a couple and I don't know what to do. I'm freaking out. What do I do?

So I am trying to get Seramas, the smallest chicken breed in the world. The problem is that we want to get only 3 hatching eggs, and we do not have an incubator. I was thinking of hatching them under one of our broody runners, but realized that she would crush them. One thing I am currently...
