Hi friends, I have a hen that I picked up earlier today ( just cause she was next to me and I always pick them up if they let me for pets and attention) well this one seemed very light in weight so I immediately felt her crop which was empty. Completely flat. Her breast bone isn't very...

Hey all! My boyfriend found a wild turkey nest while cutting hay (per usual) and for whatever reason this time he asked if we could try and incubate them. ( I'm so glad I sold my incubator this spring 🙄😅) I'm using the cardboard box incubator method and I've insulated it with Styrofoam and...

Hey Everyone. I found my Pekin hen Peaches limping pretty badly a couple weeks ago and found a bumblefoot. I've been soaking it and cleaning it, I tried wrapping it but it turned out to be a pain so I stopped only because there's been snow on the ground and I can't do anything to stop her from...

Hey Everyone! It been a while since I came to visit! I've got a rooster that I noticed is having trouble walking this morning. He tries to limp but then he looses his balance steps on his own feet then stumbles. When I went to grab him he tried to get away ( not a very affectionate breed) he...

Just curious...i hatched some chicks this summer theyre about 4 months old by now. Ive also got some more ducks too. Theyve been in the same coop with my original flock since they were old enough to be out of the brooder and they follow them in and out of the run. But they dont ever go in the...

Just got this turkey I'd like to go back and get another but I'd like to know if it's a Tom or a female first so I can have one if each. Thanks!

Hey guys! I've got a 20'x20' chicken run and this year for whatever reason it...STINKS!!!! The ground is very hard because we have more clay like ground. I've dragged in the hose to wash the poop away but it also just seems like it never dries. There's shade but also a lot of breeze that goes...

Hi everyone! I was thinking about worming my chickens..because we got some new barn kittens that we treated for worms and they like to poop in the horse yard and the cow yard which of course are my flocks favorite places to scratch..can they GET intestinal worms from eating intestinal worms?🤢...

So I can't find my original thread about my ducks. I hatched 2 pekin ducks going on 8 weeks ago. I used a flock raiser from TSC not realizing it would make them grow..FAST.. they turned out to be a drake and a hen. I got them some nutritional yeast for the b vitamins and liquid vitmain b...

I mean I know he's a bog boy and maybe I've just never noticed even though I try to make sure everyone looks OK when I put them in for the night..but when I looked at Pollux's legs tonight I thought they looks kind of swollen? No raised scales and I keep the coop and run treated for mites and...

Just curious if anyone has ever hatched eggs from a hen that was on antibiotics. I can't remember the name but one was for pain for bumblefoot and the other was for swelling. Since we wont eat those eggs I figured I'd at least try to hatch them. She's a blue orpington and lays light blue eggs...

Hey Everyone, I hatched a couple Pekin ducks about a month and a half ago along with some chicks. Ducklings I've noticed lay down a lot and when they walk they're kind of clumsy like their legs are stiff and they step on their own feet. I've been feeding them a flock raiser for chicks and...

Little chickie pipped in the middle of the egg...that pip is definitely big enough for it to get fresh air but it's making very slow progress. It started hatching on 5/19 more towards the evening and I woke up to see that my brand new stupid light bulb had burnt out. It rained last night so the...

I can't wait to see what these chicks turn into. I've got 3 yellow ones. 1 came from what I was told was a blue orpington hen and was either fertilized by a black orpie roo or my old english bantam. The other 2 where brown eggs so either red sex link hens, buff orpie hen or my jersey giant hen...

Hey everyone!! I've got a broody hen that has an egg that's been broken at the small end. Looks like it may have been pushed a little too hard against another egg a couple times. I candles while she was out if the nest and the little bugger was moving around in there and everything looked OK...

Nothing but issues lately over here. I posted a thread about my Buff Orpington Rosie and how she had brown fluid coming from her beak and I was treating for sour crop just in case but she also i think had water belly which if i understand is infection?? She was eating and drinking fine but...

Hey Everyone! First time with duck eggs. I have a Pekin duck egg on day 21 did a candling the there's no movement. I just seen its little foot moving around in there not too long ago 😟 But when I candled today there was no movement and when I turned the egg the duck and the yolk followed and...

Hey everyone, I posted a question about a sick hen and I have t heard anything yet and I'm still lost. She's lost a lot of weight even though she still has a healthy appetite. She has brown liquid that comes out of her beak whenever she outs her head down to eat. I've treated for sour crop for 3...

My Buff Orpington hen Rosie is about 2 years old now. An original from when I started my flock 2 years ago. For the past week she's been kind of keeping to herself and when I picked her up (because she loves when I pick her up and give pets and kisses and we have very intelligent conversation...
