    Beaks

    I want to thank you for your help. The little ones seem to be doing well, but if something were to happen, then I'll update.

    Beaks

    At first I had been using a metal container for water, but it was deep enough. For the food I had been using a very hard plastic, which they would peck at. After the first bird had the incident, I changed the containers to both a soft plastic material, sour cream containers. Once I changed it...

    Beaks

    Not too long ago I heard someone say that the farm I got the turkey's from debeaks them, but this looks like a break to me, and a different person also mentioned that this didn't look like debeaking.

    Beaks

    Hi! Hi! Yesterday when I returned home in the afternoon, I discovered that one of my week old turkeys had a "pushed in" beak, because the top half of his beak for so much smaller now. After reading other articles and online searches about beaks, all I can think is that the tip came off, but I'm...

    Chick lost top beak

    I'm having somewhat of the same issue. Today when I came home I discovered that one of my poults had a pushed in beak. Little did I know that the tip had come off, and now looking in the brooder I see that there is another little turkey that's having the same problem. Is this injury too far up...

    Humidity Too high?

    I've got it set on a crate at the moment. It's got holes on the bottom? I didn't even realize that. I'm not sure it would do anything by tipping it. Do you think it be better to attempt this tomorrow instead, as it's almost midnight. I'd rather do this during daylight hours, so I can see what...

    Humidity Too high?

    I've got a Farm Innovator 4250. The water modules are right below the egg turner, and then underneath a metal grate, so it would be difficult, but I'd need to do it fairly quickly.

    Humidity Too high?

    Thank you, I appreciate your response. I'm pretty worried that this isn't going to go well.

    Humidity Too high?

    I've had my eggs in the incubator for two days now, and the humidity reads at 62%. The manual says to have the eggs in humidity 50-60 for the majority of the incubation period, and then 55-65% during lockdown. Is this too high or are the eggs going to be fine? The past few days the humidity has...

    Adding eggs to incubator?

    I've got a question, if the eggs were just a few days apart, say three or four, from the time they're put in the incubator, would that be alright?

    Sick Hamburg

    Update: Little Marzia pulled through. I've been busy the past couple weeks, with a week long trip to Puerto Rico, and getting myself set up with an incubator and eggs. Thank you for your help.

    Sick Hamburg

    Her first birthday was Tuesday, so a year exactly. Her poop has been a quite watery with some lime green a few days ago. Last night it was very very clear with dark green specks, but today when I was clipping her nails, she pooped on the newspaper (It was a very smelly one) and it was a runny...
