    Harris Farms Nurture Right 360 Incubator is AMAZING!

    I’m having a hard time keeping the humidity up in my nr360. I do live in the Sonoran desert and we’re typically low humidity. At times , I’ve had to add water twice a day to keep it at 55%. Anyone else had these issues? I’ve tried closing the vent a little more but I can’t close it completely...

    Buff orp all of a sudden not able to walk , wings wonky, alert - comb red, eating, drinking some - vent clean - laid egg this morning! Help!

    I honestly think it was bad feed! I threw out all the suspect feed (Purina flock raiser) and went back to the Kruhse Super Egg .

    She snapped out of it!! It was like 5 days not really moving - and then she just popped back up and I put her out with her friends. I had something strange go through my flock. I treated all twice over with Corid and added some vitamins and electrolytes to water. So far , all have survived...

    Thank you for this very thorough response! I am somewhat skeptical of the feed. I typically buy flock raiser from a particular tractor supply because I know the manager and trust him, as you know there are many conspiracies going around about the feed. This past bag I bought from a different...

    1 yr old laying buff Orpington - suddenly not walking - seeming loss of wing control . Need help steps forward!

    Tucson , Arizona . Yesterday I found my over a year old buff on the floor of chicken coop not able to walk. Picked her up and brought her inside. She is alert, was interested in yogurt and food , plus water, but not able to walk and when I pick her up her wings kind of fall out to side . On...

    Ok. I’ve been trying to get a picture of her standing but it’s not possible. I’ll work on the others and get a thread up later today.

    Buff orp all of a sudden not able to walk , wings wonky, alert - comb red, eating, drinking some - vent clean - laid egg this morning! Help!

    She’s not eating much. She was eating more yesterday. I have to put the food and water right in front of her. No injuries on her feet. Checked her body for any injuries. I’ve fed them flock raiser and Kruhse Super Egg. I have 20 chickens, 5 turkeys. They free range at day and in the run and coop...

    I have a year plus buff Orpington who I found on the ground of the coop unable to walk. Brought her in. She’s not able to balance and walk. Wings seem to be reacting weirdly. She’s eating , drinking , vent clean , comb red , but can’t stand up. Pretty yucky and smelly diarrhea (green) yesterday...

    Help! Can this chick in the incubator be saved?

    Thank you for responding. It didn’t make it. It stopped breathing . I was worried the chicks that had already been hatched for awhile were going to go cannibal on it. They were pecking hard at the sack and such. In the end , I just should’ve tried to help less and walked out of the room.

    Help! Can this chick in the incubator be saved?

    This chick is still breathing … she’d started to externally zip and the other chicks in the incubator started breaking the shell and I was afraid they were killing her so I tried to help .. it’s my first time incubating so I’m sorry . I probably should’ve left alone. This is the state of the...

    Bobcat mitigation

    I live in Tucson and bobcats have been the hardest and most relentless predator. Even with three dogs - including a Great Pyrenees still in training . Just had one pulled through gap in fencing this morning while I’m vacation. Worse is I know it will be coming back now daily. Let me know what...

    Traumatized turkey - strange health issue

    Backstory - a couple weeks ago I made the mistake of letting my 8 week old turkeys roost on top of chicken run. Royal palm was either taken or flew off and became a bobcats meal. Her friend was mopey but I checked him/her out and seemed without scars. Then she became depressed and lethargic. Her...

    Turkey type

    These photos show the black a little better. I originally thought she was another bbw and the feed store had given me the wrong one I wanted two heritage and 1 bbw.
