Sick 11 week old turkey hen
@EggSighted4Life Thank you, and I appreciate the info. I did talk to a vet (who was kind and generous enough to talk to me) and gave all of her symptoms and was referred to a site where I was to look at pics of poop. They asked if her poop looked like a specific one, which it absolutely did... -
Sick 11 week old turkey hen
They were on gamebird starter feed for the first 6 weeks, then it was always out of stock at the one store that had it and every time we tried to order it they didn't get it in (covid) so we switched them to all flock (I also have ducks and chickens). They get grubblies and mealworms as well as... -
Sick 11 week old turkey hen
hello. I have a BBW hen that has always been.... behind. She grows VERY slowly and initially I thought she would be a failure to thrive, but here we are at 11 weeks and she's been fine. The other 3 turkeys are toms, all growing and doing well. Last night they were all having free time out in the... -
Wing infection?
I really don't want to if I can help it. Alcohol burns and she's already stressed. Are you thinking something in particular? -
Wing infection?
Sounds good! I will try that. No, she really hasn't. I don't know why, but it's always her with the issues. She does usually heal really fast though so here's hoping she does it again! Thank you for your help. -
Wing infection?
Darn. I was hoping you'd know (though I'm glad you haven't had to deal with it). -
Wing infection?
Yeah, the one on the right was it. It looks like it popped on it's own. I just don't know if I should just keep spraying her with vetricyn plus? Pull the feathers? Slather her in something? I'm pretty new and haven't seen anything like this. She's my "trouble" bird, but I love her. She had an... -
Wing infection?
@Miss Lydia here is what we're looking at. If I need to do anything I probably won't be doing it until after dark since it is so hot they're all panting even with their pool, plenty of shade, lots of cold water (the no swimming kind) and I really don't want to stress her too much when she's... -

Wing infection?
Okay. I've had to pull blood feathers before (on a turkey that was bleeding all over) but I've never seen the lump with a black spot before. -
Wing infection?
If the lump with the black spot is an ingrown feather or something, will we need to get it out? Or just watch it? I will get pics as soon as he gets home (or maybe earlier if my son gets home sooner). -
Wing infection?
No, she's not bleeding and is eating, drinking, playing in the pool, all 100% normal. I've cleaned their pool twice today already because they get it so nasty and I don't want her to get an infection, but it's so hot today keeping her out of it would be cruel. -
Wing infection?
I have a 4 month old pekin who this morning had blood on his (or her, not entirely sure yet) feather. I caught her and she let me look a little. I see several feathers are broken and there's a lump with a black spot in the center that's kind of oval-shaped. I can't look very well (or take... -

Help!! Is this a prolapse?
Right. This is most definitely on the vent. I know where the navel is and not to mess with it. -
Hole in Beak??
Thank you. The hole is gone! You were right! Thank you, the hole is gone!! I'm so happy! I still haven't done my nails, but at this point it's just because I haven't had time, lol.- Graidyn

Help!! Is this a prolapse?
I just got 4 turkeys from TSC. They are in a 3x6 foot brooder (Just the 4 of them, no one else), 3 feet tall, hardware cloth top, with a red heat lamp. The temp at the heated end is 90 temp at the food/water end is 74. They seem active and happy (I've only had them about an hour) but when... -
First time chick parents... Go big or go home!

Where to put a heat lamp?
Gah! It's GORGEOUS! Lucky chickens! Mine is only 12x6 sadly, but I think it'll work out well. And we'll definitely be hanging their feeders/waterers. The ducks will be sharing a run with them (no drakes) but will have their own duck house. I can't let them free range here, too many stray dogs...- Graidyn

What breed is she.
Frizzle Cochin Bantam? I could be totally wrong, I haven't researched them, but that's my guess.- Graidyn
