    Month old turkey poult randomly died?!

    Had another one die tonight :( and the special needs turkey isn't doing too good either now. Do you think he's sick and he gave it to the others? He's basically been quarantined ever since he hatched because he came out last and has leg problems, I've kept him separate since I don't want the...

    Month old turkey poult randomly died?!

    I hatched some turkey eggs last month, and they were all (aside from my "special needs" turkey baby) healthy and happy and just perfect for the last month. Last night they played and ran around for a while then went to bed. This morning they were the same, happy and running around! Just now...

    EMERGENCY!!!! baby turkey won't put weight on leg and other issues!

    That's the thing, he kicks violently every 10 seconds or less (I counted) while in the sling, which makes the tendon go back to the side of his hock :(

    EMERGENCY!!!! baby turkey won't put weight on leg and other issues!

    Never mind about the sling. I took him out, decided to try and wrap his leg. Tendon wouldn't stay put, and when I unwrapped his leg (it wasn't very tight at all, and I used vet wrap) his swollen hock started bleeding. Which would make sense because it has a red tone to it and the other leg...

    EMERGENCY!!!! baby turkey won't put weight on leg and other issues!

    Need more help :( Well I put him in a sling, he absolutely hates it. Keeps kicking and stuff, am I doing more harm than good? He would rather be held, lol! I can't put a wrap on his leg yet because when he kicks the tendon pops out of place again! :( and what can I do to encourage him to eat...

    EMERGENCY!!!! baby turkey won't put weight on leg and other issues!

    Thank you so much! It doesn't really seem to need the tape to keep them together, but definitely needs a brace to fix that tendon. I made a sling out of a sock and the little stinker kept getting out of it, and his feet weren't even touching the ground!! Good grief, lol! Now I have to get...

    EMERGENCY!!!! baby turkey won't put weight on leg and other issues!

    Thank you so much austria89! It is a slipped tendon I can pop it back into place but as soon as I let go of the leg, it pops back out! I'm gonna wrap it in the thin strips of vet wrap, and the link you gave me mentioned putting the chick in a sling, to prevent movement and keep weight off the...

    EMERGENCY!!!! baby turkey won't put weight on leg and other issues!

    I had a late hatch turkey, hatched this morning, after having had his egg externally pipped for more than 48 hours (I had to help him out a little, but he still did most of the hatching work) he was born with crooked toes. I thought, no problem, I saw stuff on the Internet to make sandals for...

    Guinea keets still hate me

    Thanks GlennLee! That makes me feel better, lol! I don't expect them to be cuddly by any means but at least not be bothered by my presence, lol! I only have 4 so hopefully they won't be too hard to mess with.

    Guinea keets still hate me

    I am at the end of my rope with my Guinea babies. I posted on here a couple weeks ago that they didn't like me and freaked out when I put my hand in their brooder. Someone told me to try treats and hand feed them. The thing is, I still can't even get my hand close enough to them! They freak out...

    Pipped Guinea eggs!!

    Aww, that's awesome! Mine hate me right now I think, lol They won't come near me or my hand, hate to be touched, I've tried getting them to eat out of my hand and they run around like the sky is falling. When I had chicks, they loved to be picked up and cuddled and would fall asleep on me. How...

    Pipped Guinea eggs!!

    Now I have another problem. I have two that have hatched but they keep sitting on the wet washcloth I put in to raise the humidity (I filled all the water troughs in the bottom of the incubator and it still wouldn't raise the humidity high enough, I found the washcloth idea online) what do I do...

    Pipped Guinea eggs!!

    The one I was worried about hatched! We now have another one trying to come out. Do you leave them in the incubator to dry and fluff or do you move them to the brooder with a heat lamp???

    Pipped Guinea eggs!!

    I have 2 out of 5 eggs pipped on the shell! How long does it take for them to hatch, and when should I be worried if they're not out? One cracked last night or early this morning because it was pipped when I woke up, and the second pipped this afternoon. Thank you!!
