I have a trio together and i thought my red golden pheasants weren't laying eggs yet, but it turns out that one of my hens is eating the eggs. Any advice my friends?
2 of my hens have started laying eggs, but I haven't seem them mating with the toms. I was wondering, what if the toms don't know how to mate since it's their 1st year and they don't have any experience and they haven't seen other toms mating so they don't know how to do it????
There are some great pictures of quails in this thread! There's just too much reading to catch up on. lol. I was wondering. How many ounces of food do you normally feed 1 quail? I have 10 of them and I just want to get a good feed amount to give them. Thanks
I'd like to say "thank you!" to everyone who helped me out regarding my sick turkey. This morning he satarted to eat on his own again when I put food out for the turkeys. Yesterday and the day before I stareted to feed him sand and grit through a pen (after making it hollow like a straw). I...
Around a week. When I noticed that he wasnt eating and I finally hand fed him, he didn't weigh much at all. By then he was just walking arond all sad with his wing feathers just dragging on the floor. He wouldn't roost on top any more either and would sleep on the ground. He sort of reminded me...
I've been talk with other BYC in a turkey link and they have been very helpful. Hopefully it's just a matter of getting what ever is wrong with him out of his system. Thank you!
This is the cactus the tom that passed away ate. he is in the background too. this cactus i eat when it has fresh ones growing, Its the one they sell at the stores. This new tom ate the same cactus but from a diferent one on the other side. I have the cactus with my dogs and they are separated...
Other than him not eating on his own he seems perfectly fine. All my other turkeys eat when I feed them except him. About 2 months ago one of my turkeys passed away. I didnt notice soon enough that he wasn't eating because I had their food in their feeder so they can eat as much as they wanted...
This is what I feed them.
other than him not eating he seems fine. He drinks water and walkes about just fine. I feed my turkeys in the morning and evening. He just looks at the food and keeps on walking by.
This is a good place. they have 3types of scratch food. one is like $11, then $14, and $16 or so for 50lbs. they can sell you 10lbs if you want, but i'd say is beter to just buy the 50 lb bags.
froggiesheins, do you know of a good vet that is also cheap? My new turkey got sick and has stopped...
I bought some anibiotcs and some form of vitamins to inject him. I also hand fed him today. A while ago my only tom stoped eating as well and passed away. I just got this new tom about a month ago and he hoped over the fence where i have my dogs and ate some of my cactus plants and now he's...
