    My poor chicken lays monster egg! Take poll!

    My French Black Copper Maran (BCM) has had egg issues since she started laying. I think she has an incompetent reproductive tract. You name - she’s had it, from teeny eggs, soft shell, weird tissue attached to eggs, egg bound, and now this monster egg. Will her cloaca ever be the same 🥹. So...

    Has anyone tried the open-egg hatch method before? (HELP)

    So just curious if the reason for doing this is just to watch the process? I’ve never heard of this.

    6mon Barred Rock - Still no eggs

    I am having a similar issue with my deathlayers who are probably 8 months old. They do not squat, don’t do any egg songs, etc. What are you looking for with a butt check and how is it done?

    What Greens do chickens like?

    Collards, Mexican sunflower tree leaves, and romaine - they don’t care for mustards at all. Blueberries and watermelon are their favorite fruit.

    Wounded chicken. Please help.

    Updates? Agree…no harsh chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide or iodine except for initial cleaning only - destroys healthy cells as well while healing. I use the Vetericyn wound cleanser spray and apply the Manuka honey then apply a clean gauze. Change dressing daily. I had a turkey get mauled by...

    She's worse than a rooster!

    Mine do that when they want something…i.e. treats - maybe since you’re out there sitting she’s trying to say give me snacks!

    Turkey Poults Flip Over Syndrome-F.O.S.-My experience and what I did.

    A cluttered run

    Where did you get the turtle sandbox and what kind of dusting material do you use? I’ve noticed my birds like the dry dirt in my yard but don’t really want to dig a hold to fill a bath. What other options has anyone used with success?

    Is it legal to keep a wild turkey in the flock if they joined in on her own?

    I have a couple females, and a male that hang out with my flock all day when they’re free ranging. I think it’s fine to let them mingle, with the only concern being the increased risk of avian bird flu that wild birds are more prone too. If you don’t have a body of water with wild water...

    My hen is so funny…

    My female Eastern turkey always acts like a male. Here is a wild Osceola and she literally did this for an hour with him. I was hoping she was going to let him mate, but no success! Anyone have an idea of why she is doing this? I don’t think she was trying to dominate him. Video attached.
