    Availability of Blackhead treatment meds?

    Okay, that makes sense. Can turkeys get a cold? I just went to dose her with Corid and as I was holding her I noticed she now has a rattle when she breathes. She doesn’t appear to be struggling to breathe or coughing, I can just hear a rattle. I remembered that about 2 weeks ago, my heritage...

    Availability of Blackhead treatment meds?

    Thank you @R2elk for the direction. You are correct, her droppings look completely normal. No blood, no yellow tint, just solid brown with white like normal. I will start Corid right away. Is it possible for turkeys to run a fever? I don’t know why but I just have this feeling that she has a...

    Availability of Blackhead treatment meds?

    I have a nearly two year old (11/7/23) female BBW who has become ill. I noticed this morning she was lethargic, ruffled feathers, head tucked into feathers and slightly stumbling. I offered her some black soldier fly larvae and she ate just a bit but was not very interested. I do not see...

    Age of Guinea keets

    I agree, about 7-8 weeks. Ours are 8 weeks old and look about the same.

    Extra large egg/blood

    That’s exactly what I figured- I even said out loud “oh girls, if I pushed that from there, I’d bleed too” lol but just wanted to get others’ opinion to be sure!

    Extra large egg/blood

    Good morning! One of my ladies lays an extra large egg about once a week. I’m not sure who is doing it, unfortunately. I imagine it’s normal for an egg of this size, but is the blood on the shell normal? I looked around the coop and did not see any bloody droppings so I don’t think it’s...

    Why does my hen pull her feathers out?

    I just looked up hard molt and I think maybe this is what she is going through. She is very cranky too ;) Thank you for this advice! I’ll just keep waiting and hope she gets back to normal soon.

    Why does my hen pull her feathers out?

    No, this is the worst I’ve ever seen. I’ve only owned chickens for a little over two years but I’ve never had one of my girls look this naked :(

    Why does my hen pull her feathers out?

    Will they molt twice in one year? She just went through molt a few months ago with my other girls. I spray for mites monthly when I deep clean the coop. I have inspected her and do not see any evidence of them. None of her coopmates are exhibiting signs of mites. I have always fed a 20% protein...

    Why does my hen pull her feathers out?

    Good morning y'all! I have a hen who has become consumed with pulling her own feathers out! She is not eating them, as they are all over the coop. She is in a large coop with three other hens. I had her in my other coop with a rooster, I thought he was doing it to her so I put her with the...

    3 day old chick- wing feathers hurting?

    Hey y’all! I have 7 3 day old chicks. Some are already getting wing feathers. One of the chicks is spending a lot of time preening one of her wings with the new feathers, almost like they are irritating her. I don’t see anything on her wing, it doesn’t appear irritated. Has anyone experienced...

    Okay that makes perfect sense! Thank you!!

    First time hatching!

    So, does this mean that my chicks will be a mix of both in one chick, like a hybrid breed? Or of my eight chicks, some will be RIR some will be Brahma? I forgot I have a Blue Orpington hen also that had eggs in the mix :D
