PheasantFrenzie, You say you are not saying anything about the Allen family and then you do just that... I checked with them and I understand they know you and have helped you in years past. I understand they have no money from you. Like I mentioned, I have been a member of the magazine a long...

It would be nice if you could do it, but I don't think the ringnecks will free range during the day and go inside at night with your domestic guinea fowl. The pheasants have a wilder nature about them and will wander off in my experience...

I've been a member for a long time and it is a wonderful magazine. This is something the Allen family has done for decades. The Allen family who puts it out are wonderful folks and have done so much for our hobby. The editor, Mr. Allen, has suffered terrible illness which slowed things up some...

I'm sorry you're having this problem. I agree it could be coccidiosis and I think it can be contracted even with medicated feed, although less likely. I think the best thing, if possible, is to get a necropsy if it does not recover, so you will know for sure. Some agricultural college poultry...

I had this occur once in a pheasant and it eventually returned to normal. Hope it's not something more serious...

Enjoyed your pictures and look forward to an update! It is exciting, and challenging at times, to add new birds...

I talked to Julie at the magazine and she said the new issue will be going out to members soon. I have been a magazine member for a lot of years. It's a wonderful magazine and I couldn't do without it. I've known the Allen family who puts out the magazine for a long time. They are wonderful...

Welcome, BYC is a great place to learn and get advice!

Sounds like maybe an infection of some kind with the noise you mentioned hearing. It's always really hard to know cause in cases like this...

As ChickenCanoe and others mentioned, they don't usually take a liking to new quarters right away, but after put in a few times you should find them roosting as they should...

You'll have to wait and see but hopefully the neighbors are tolerant and will appreciate the up side...

Yes they are turkey eggs as they are speckled and colored as you describe...

I've had good luck with the first lab mentioned, but I think you'll be fine with either one...

That is a good find! Best of luck...

I would agree that lancing it may make it worse... probably best to wait a few days in case it's injury or a possible insect bite as you mentioned... I had something similar in one of my chickens some time ago and it got better without doing anything after a couple weeks... Too bad vets are so...
