    Incubator off for 6-9 hours, will the eggs be ok? They’ve been incubating for a month at least

    just after a turkey chick had started pipping I went to bed. The incubator somehow got shut off between 12 am- 8 am since I had last checked on the egg at 12 before going to sleep. We lost the pipping egg, and both less developed chicks developed blood rings (I’m not sure how long they’ve been...

    I’m not sure if it’s ok to post for turkeys here, but turkey egg was beginning to pip last night and the incubator was unplugged 8-4 hours.

    I woke up this morning expecting some progress and instead the incubator was unplugged and the chick stopped moving. Membrane looks dry. The incubator was cold and so was the egg. I really don’t want this to ruin my Christmas, please let me know what I could do to help it.

    Uncontrollable mites.

    This chicken has been going through it since day 1. She was the 4th reject of the summer and had a hole pecked in through her chest opposed to her head and that’s why she lived to be 2 months as of today. Then we noticed she had scissor beak when she was nearing 3-5 weeks of age. Not much of a...

    What happened and how can I fix this?

    My almost 3 year old BBW tom, Goose, has started limping and spending a lot of time in his pen with his bonded BBB hen. All my poultry are free range, and he usually spends time around the property or with my Blue slate tom. I checked out his foot today and it looks like the middle and scales...

    Any guesses?

    Def crossbreeds and they look like they have some leghorn in them. The one without the brown coloring looks like an Italian leghorn. The one with the brown looks like an Italian/brown leghorn mix. Beautiful birds btw! :)
