    Coryza or scratched eye ball?

    She has a tiny cut on the outside of her eye that is already scabbed over. She has no other symptoms except the closed eye. She is now opening it more but I feel like every time I look at her she closes it again. I'm starting to think she's freaking me out on purpose!

    Coryza or scratched eye ball?

    I noticed today that my light brahma who is 15 weeks old had one if her eyes shut. She has always been smaller than my other brahma hen and always a little paler. She was laying in the shade when I noticed. I picked her up and stared at for while and she didn't open her eye. When I put her down...

    Lice? Mites? Help!

    Thank you all! His run is dirt but by the coop its pretty packed down. There's an area when the guineas take dust baths in the run but he doesn't seem interested. He paces the fence (even though his run extends way out into the woods) until I let him out to roam the yard. Out in the yard there...

    Lice? Mites?

    My royal palm tom had been acting a little strange, he just wasn't being as active as he usually is. I looked him over and found a whole bunch of these bugs on him. Luckily I had some Garden and Poultry Dust and treated him with it. I also completely cleaned their coop and sprinkled some of the...

    Lice? Mites? Help!

    Thank you! I have a question. I have had him since he was a baby and he is almost two. Since I have had him he has rarely taken dust baths, is there a reason for this?

    My royal palm tom had been acting a little strange, he just wasn't being as active as he usually is. I looked him over and found a whole bunch of these bugs on him. Luckily I had some Garden and Poultry Dust and treated him with it, along with my rooster (who only had a few) but my other birds...

    aggresive guinea?

    I have 3 male guineas (started with 22 but many different circumstances has highly diminished our guinea flock) two of which get along fine. The other one however is constantly bullied by the team of guineas. The team will chase him off from the food and water and also try to chase him off when...

    Elliot The Rooster That Lives In The House

    It started on April 19th, 2013 when driving home with my dad I saw a rooster on the side of the road. We pulled over, picked him up, got back into the truck and drove down the road to a farm. We assumed that this beautiful white rooster with a frostbitten comb was the farmer's. He claimed that...

    Might Be A Stupid Question :)

    I have one lonely rooster surrounded by lovely ladies that he cannot mate with (they are turkeys.) I was thinking about finding him some of his own ladies to protect and mate with. I know that my Royal Palm turkey has a hard time mating with our BBW turkeys and he usually "can't get the job...

    Turkey Gone Broody

    Yes, finally! I can't remember if they are 5 or 6 weeks old but Winnie is such a good mommy! Only 4 out of the 6 eggs hatched, a few weeks before they hatched one of the eggs was laying on the lawn cracked open. (Still not sure what happened there) This is a picture of the babies a few weeks...

    Turkey Gone Broody

    My royal palm turkey went broody about 3 1/2 weeks ago with 7 eggs. Of course she decided to lay the eggs in the shed full of chemicals and tools with no door. We cleaned out as many chemicals as we could and moved the tools. My mom and I built a "box" around her. We took two boards (since she...

    Rooster

    I found a single combed white leghorn rooster on the side of the road about two weeks ago. When he is out of his coup he attacks people, at first it was just men however today he attacked my mom and my little sister. He is so sweet to me and I have grown really attached to him but I don't know...

    Skinny Rooster

    I'm not sure what to post this under but yesterday my dad and I found a rooster on the side of the road. It only took us about a minute to catch him and once I was holding him he was very calm. We walked down the road to see if anyone knew who his owner is. We couldn't find his owner but while...
