    Turkey Losing Feathers and now odd behavior

    I wish he would let the duck do her job, but I have no way of controlling him because he is a very good flier and gets into the pen no matter what I do. The poor little hen is so upset that this giant thing is now in her nesting spot lol. I really didn't need anymore ducks anyway, but I feel bad...

    Turkey Losing Feathers and now odd behavior

    Today I couldn't find Voldemort. After searching for 15 minutes I realized he was in the dog crate that is housing my Cayuga hen's nest. About half of the eggs were gone so I figured he must have been eating them (he was standing over them). I fed everyone and he ate a little. I went back in the...

    Turkey Losing Feathers and now odd behavior

    Ok, so my tom Lord Voldemort is almost a year old. The past week or so I have been noticing turkey feathers all over the yard (he pretty much goes wherever he wants to). At first I thought something must be attacking him. Now I've even seen them all in my goat pen and not even an unfamiliar cat...

    Turkey Poult Identification - Pictures Added

    Thanks! That is the name of my resident grown turkey. All of the poults are going to have Potter-ish names as well. The black ones will mostly be named after the 'bad' guys lol. I also had a goat named Severus a few years ago

    Turkey Poult Identification - Pictures Added

    Ok, since I have added pictures I thought maybe someone could guess as to what these poults are mixed with. I tried contacting the man I got the eggs from but I never heard back. I don't care if they are mix breeds cause I think they are all pretty cool

    pics of my new babys

    I wish I knew what kind of poult yours is because I had two that hatched yesterday and they look just like him/her. Mine were all supposed to be from Bronze hens, but I've even had two blacks that hatched from the eggs lol.

    Turkey Poult Identification - Pictures Added

    Ok, I don't have any pics as of yet but I bought some hatching eggs from a local man that said his turkeys were Bronze. I never saw the adults in person, the pics I saw of them though looked like a regular bronze turkey to me. Some of my poults hatched yesterday, 4 look like bronze but with a...

    Are my chickens getting too cold?

    I stapled plastic around 3 sides (North, East and West) but ran out of staples before I could finish on the south side. They can get off the ground, but so far only 2 of them show interest in roosting. Ok, so tomorrow I will definately get more staples and finish putting the plastic around the...

    Are my chickens getting too cold?

    For the most part they are under the bulb. They 11 and 13 weeks old but are small for their age. I only recently moved them out of their draft free enclosed pen, maybe a week ago. It has been less than 30 degrees here since they started dying. My smallest chick is probably half the size of my...

    Are my chickens getting too cold?

    Yeah I prob do need a stronger light, I just lost a Langshan that hadn't been acting right all day. She was very small, only 3/4 the size of the bigger ones. I hope the cold is what is getting to them. I haven't had any problems since their cocci trouble.

    Are my chickens getting too cold?

    Ok, I live in South Ga and the weather here's been getting pretty cold at night. I've had about 11 chicks die in the past 3 days. They were all born in September and had a tough bout with cocci around 2-4 weeks of age. There has not been any signs of illness, stools are fine, everyone's acting...

    Chicks with twisted feathers. Malabsorption syndrome?

    Ok, so I thought I had a rare frizzle d'uccle chick until I noticed my OEG bantam chick had twisted feathers on the end of his wings. Their feathers are growing all weird and they are kind of stunted looking (compared to the ones without twisted feathers). So my question is, does this sound like...

    Vestibular ataxia in kittens

    I don't think the poor little guy is going to make it. I've been trying to force feed him all morning but he won't/can't eat or drink. His pupils are fixed and dilated so much you can't even see the color of his eyes. I'm going to try my very best to save him but don't know what else to do. In...
