Turkey seemed fine yesterday. Was weak when i left them out this morning. Went to feed them 2 hours later and he had died. 3 month old broad breasted turkey. Adding pic of liver. Also would it be safe to eat him? Thanks.
I will get pics in the morning. I think I might not have been doing vitamin e right. I was giving her a drop a day. But she could have hurt herself off their heating plate thingy in their playpen. They would get chilly with our a/c running but when she started walking with her neck twisted(now...
I have a little hen who has wry neck. She is also undersized with a deformed toe. She was with her flock for 2 months until her twin sister passed away. She is now in the house for past 2 months with my red frizzle(3 months old). I have been giving her poly vi sol no iron a drop a day straight...
I have 8 broody mamas. I'm sure one will take her, just worried if I'd be putting her out too soon. She had skin come off and you can still see a bit of bone. Maybe I should just get her a buddy and keep her in the house.
I have a week old baby chick that had a bad head injury. It is healing, when do you think she can go back with her mom? She looks at the quails beside her and cries, I think she is lonely. If I pick her up she stops. Her head doesn't look red or anything, but it's missing its down.
I went to check on broody mamas and heard a chick crying. I finally found it in back of coop and it looks like its been scalped. I brought it in and cleaned wound and put antibiotic ointment and wrapped in gauze. Can you give anything for pain at this age? I know aspirin in drinking water for...
It's snowing out and I was worried it would be too cold. Their heat source in the house are the heat plate ones they go under like a momma. I don't use heat lamps. It's a fluke thing. Temps are going back up tomorrow so they are too.
It was damaging eyes is why I completely separated it. There was blood and and eye swelling. I also separated the injured into their own brooder. So now I have 3 brooders in the house. I try to put it back in with uninjured and it goes straight for the eyes. In a couple days they are going to...
Hi. I just got a golden laced polish 3 day old chick. I had to separate it due to it pecking all the other babies eyes and feet. It has food, water, heat, a mirror, little rubber duckies and all it does is cry. If I try to hold it all it does is peck me too. If I try to reintroduce it, it goes...

hello. I bought 20 silkies 2 weeks ago. 6 have died 1 i had put to sleep by the vet. 5 of the ones that died on their own seemed fine. 1 of them was real weak. The 1 we had put to sleep could barely walk and always flopped on it's side and couldn't get upright on it's own. It also needed help to...
I got these two from a pen that said mixed rares. Having trouble figuring out these ones. The white one looks like it has blackish polka dots. The brownish orange one is solid color.
If I get my barn built this year I'll probably shoot for tons more lol. I have 4 different coops right now. Hatching silkies at the moment just for fun (not for eggs). I might hit some Easter sales to add assortment to my flock this year. My chickens started as a homeschool project and I fell in...
