    Turkey poult injury to head

    We have 7 black spanish poults, 7 weeks old, hatched from parents we have had for 2 years. One of the poults, now isolated from the turkeys but in a suitable enclosure where she sees and communicates with a chicken hen with 4 poults, has an injury (discovered 24 hours ago): appears the skin on...

    A vanishing hen: Mating season behavior Q

    Thanks for the info. I have looked and as yet not a single feather, no scat or tracks from typical varmints either, though. The remaining male and female have a new nest that started 8 days ago (8 eggs...i'm keeping close eye.) Will continue the hunt far and wide for missing gal, hoping to beat...

    A vanishing hen: Mating season behavior Q

    I have (had?) 3 guineas: 1 male who arrived 2 seasons ago (surprise! so he was named "Papua") and stayed with the chickens ever since, and 2 females who were purchased and raised last year. Until last week, the 3 were pretty tight, always together--always within earshot, if not sight, of the...

    Sick hen, possibly ascites? Any help appreciated

    I have a Welsummer hen that is about 14 months. She is acting normal except: she waddles like a duck, had some poo stuck on her backside (removed x bottom bath yesterday) and she goes to the nest daily, but I am thinking that after being in there for quite some time, she hasn't laid an egg. She...

    New 2 this: possible CRD/MG? Anything more to do?

    Update: Miriam is doing well! Dawg53, thank you SO much for your info & encouragement, particularly to be patient with the Tylan 50. (I was expecting "immediate" change--learned a lesson!) Day 4 was the most noticeable improvement for Miriam; she has steadily gained since. Two days ago she...

    New 2 this: possible CRD/MG? Anything more to do?

    Update: Miriam continues to not eat or drink, sleeping near constant. Seems she may have laid an egg this morning, though. Have maintained schedule of giving liquids (vits & electros), but she is not taking on own--have to give with squirt. As expected, no solid droppings--whitish, some...

    New 2 this: possible CRD/MG? Anything more to do?

    Background: 11 in flock; 4 are 3 months, 7 are appr. 6 months. Of the flock, 1 presents more seriously than others. Least serious: coughing/sneezing a few times over past week--not more than a couple times in day, usually when dusty outside. 4 days ago Miriam (Red Star) was sleeping and...

    Luv this site & the help that's here!

    Hi, ya'll! First, I've visited this site for over a year as a chickener wannabe. It started by looking at coops. Over the past year we have converted a portable 10 x 16 bldg (given to us for "free" if we moved it) into 1/2 coop and 1/2 garden house. (Now it's the "gardHen haus") Then the...
