she is good, ended up eating the next day and has been good since, still tries to eat EVERYTHING but at least now its only able to eat what i want it too.

really? guineas are that bad!? never had them so id never know but that is insane.

i hope she figures it out, i put some grit in there n the ground with the crumble, going to toss another chick in there when its dry.

okay, i just put the chicken chick in and it tought the other one to eat but maybe it will teach this one too. HOW DO THEY SURVIVE IN THE WILD!!! i sat there forever trying every trick i know trying to teach it to be a bird and eat. i swear she will be the death of me lol

i swear to god this thing is going to be the death of me, got a pair heritage ridley bronze poults and i brought them home, the younger one ( about 12 hours old) took a second and figured out what to eat. the other one (about 1 or 2 days old) started eating wood shavings, after awhile of trying...

im glad i put him out of his misery, he had an enlarged heart with alot of fluid accumulated, his intestinal system was very full of gas like a balloon so it filled up the body cavity and had damages due to this, (i opened him up immediately after euthanizing him so it wasnt post mortem and he...

so its looking like he has some pretty serious medical issues coupled with so much coccidia in his feces (if you can even call it that, its just coccidia really) im going to put him down and do an autopsy. he can barely walk, i told the original owners and they said he was healthy but eventually...

im struggling to find much information on ridley inbreeding, would you mind sending me a link? i would really like to know more about it as i was planning on breeding ridley turkeys (seperate pen) and its good to know.

intersesting, i was really wondering about the snood since mine have never lost thiers, i never heard about ridley indreeding before. i have to go look it up now.

like i said they are nowhere near purebred, 2 hens are broad breasted bronze (meat birds) and the white one is supposedly a heritage although looks like it might be a meat bird cross. the tom is a mix so i doubt he was inbred and at three years old i dont think he is just late developing. he...

Just got some turkeys from my neighbour's. She said 3 hens and a Tom but the Tom is really odd so I am hoping maybe someone knows what's up. He is about 3 years old, ridley heritage x. He walks very upright never puffed up, drums, gobbles or shows any interest in ladies. He is smaller than any...

okay it is testies lol, i am a living panic attack and worry about everything, its odd that ive never seen them before doing up roosters but i allways butcher around first crow and these guys been crowing for a few months, thank you so much for putting my worries at ease!

Free range and layer pellet. Still got a foot of snow so all layer all winter. Edit. There appeared to not be any kidney I could find underneath although i didn't look super well. Maybe it was as I have never butchered roosters that old

butchered 4 roosters today and when i was taking the organs out for my dogs and i noticed the kidneys were white, i assumed it was a weird one off thing until all four of them had these white kidneys. they were VERY white, not yellow like fat, when cut into they are white all the way in and...

top egg looks fertile but both have been incubated. Top since 28th bottong 26th. Keeps happening, top looks fertile to me but not developing at all. Maybe it's wishful thinking making them look fertile.
