    Turkey poult sick

    This morning I went out to my turkey coop to find three poults running around. I had no idea my turkeys were sitting so I didn't look for little ones. Before I could open the gate the Tom gabbed a little one killing it. I moved both survivors to a brooder box. One poult is chirping and running...

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    Just have to say my dark brahma girls love the snow. We have a few inches of fresh snow overnight and they are the only hens to bother going out.

    Are these actually Welsummers?

    I bought some chicks identical to these from a local feed store. The store couldnt id them because they were included with production reds and americanas. I got them 4 for a buck each. Still stumped on the breed.

    Rescued baby mallard with bad legs. NEED HELP!

    I had one little duck with the same problem. I used niacin and it didnt help. I was going to cull little "Wobbles" as I named him. Then when I let the flock free range in my farm pond and yard he perked up. I figure the little guy ended up getting the nutrients he needed naturally and all the...

    WNY new chicken man

    So the TSC chicks turned out to be different breeds than advertised. The "speckled sussex" are definitely dark Brahma. Out of all the supposed pillets I now have 5 roos. The ducks and chickens are all doing great, I love this site.

    wobbly duck

    I have a large farm/fishing pond. Now I have the ducks trained to waddle down each morning and waddle back before dark. The wobbling ducks are alot better now. The two males walk slow and still dont like to run but they are healthy otherwise. I think the physical therapy of walking about 600ft...

    Dixie Rainbows Thread

    I have 4 Dixies and really like them. I only want 1 rooster in my flock so Im worried three chickens have orange coats with lots of black feather tips. They also have combs and wattles, but only one has a dark red comb the others have light pink combs. The dark combed guy is the dominant rooster...

    wobbly duck

    I gave brewers yeast while they were inside, about 6 weeks. Now that I moved them outside and they are eating all kinds of wild food from our farm pond I thought that would be enough. The big guys can move around fine as long as they walk slow its just when they run.

    mystery chicks

    The possible silkie is still confusing me. She honestly hasnt grown much, so little that I keep her with 4 two week old chicks that are the same size as her. She is almost 8 weeks old now. I might just have a pygmy chicken.

    wobbly duck

    I gave my ducks brewers yeast for a while. Now that they have a raspy voices and loud quacks I can tell the sex on all of them. Wobbles is one of two males. Bot males are a bit bigger than the rest and both have trouble walking for long distances. Both males also seem to have minor crests, small...
