    Help!! My turkey won't stand up!

    Thanks for your reply!! I believe that the variety is broad breasted, I see no signs of overheating because she/he is not panting. I did hold its wings and it did not move its legs... what's happening?! I'm very worried now...

    Why Are Ducks Not Laying?

    maybe give them some nesting materials in a more secluded place, and i noticed that mine eat more feed after given some veggies. keep your water always fresh (change at least once or twice a day). Just out of curiosity, do they constantly walk along the edge of the pen looking outside?
