    Pheasants babies

    I have some pheasants in an enclosed run and there are five hens and one male. Two of them have been sitting on a clutch for a while and I knew they were getting close. So when we checked on all of the other birds we also went to check them and came across two dead babies that looks like they...

    Turkey eggs

    Do turkeys take as long as chickens to hatch out once pipped? I have some that are pipped and it seems that the membrane is drying very quickly. Resisting the urge to help them. Temp is 99 and humidity it around 77%

    Dead birds

    Right? But their coop is completely covered. Chicken wire above so owls couldn't get them during the summer. And then fencing all around with no holes. And we have snow drifts from snow (in MN)...but fence is still secure. And tin roof extending from their coop roof to cover food....nothing...

    Dead birds

    No. Nothing and the hole on the rooster tonight my husband said was just big enough to slide his pinkie into.

    Dead birds

    This is the only one I have from a bird that was still alive when I found her. She didn't make it. The other ones have been found by my husband after he shuts them in for the night.

    Dead birds

    We have lost 4 chickens over the past 2 weeks...3 hens and one 3 year old rooster. All same injuries...a hole on their back above vent areas. No other sign of injury. What is getting our birds?!? Coop is enclosed. And their outside run is enclosed from overhead predators

    Hurt hen

    Went to co-op this morning and I find this girl. Hole is above tail feathers. Won't open eyes and her head just keeps sliding down the side of her before she picks it up. She did drink a bit for me but that's it. I have her inside. I have no vetRX or anything and can't leave to go to store. But...

    Duck leg formed wrong in egg?

    Hey! Yes. I am okay with raising it. I had another one come out with a twisted neck and we have them off to the side in their own container as to not get trampled by the others. Our twisted neck one is coming along nicely, it has started to become more straight (if that makes sense). I gave them...

    Duck leg formed wrong in egg?

    My hatch, that i screwed up on, is hatching. I have 17 ducklings out and happy but one of them has a leg that is completely behind it and toes curled up. I have already tried putting the bandaid around the legs to pull them under its body but the muscles in the funky leg are pulling the good leg...
