My turkey hen, Giselle, hatched seven poults yesterday. I was wondering if they need any special requirements. We have fireants here, so I was wondering if that would be an issue. Also, do they need a different food to adult turkeys? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
This started seven days ago when we were about to leave on vacation. Two of my chickens had cloudy eyes, it almost seemed white. We left my older cousin in charge of the chickens while we were gone on our five day vacation. When we came back, two chickens had died and eight more were sick. Three...
A few days ago, one of my young pekin-mix roos got sick. He keeps gasping for air and now, half his body feels bloated with air while the other half is skin and bones, even the leg doesn't have muscle. I don't know what this is or how it happened. A few weeks before this happened I went on a...
So I got a new turkey hen 3 days ago and whenever I try to feed her, the chickens run over and the turkey runs away in fear, any ideas? She won't eat with the chickens around her...
Thanks in advance...

There are more pictures coming but I'm a bit short on internet cafe time... I will try to post pictures of the rooster tomorrow.
What is the difference between the O shamo and Malay? I've looked at both of them online and they both look VERY similar... Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that the hen is a BSW but the tom has me stumped, BBB maybe?
They are the 2 on my profile picture, I can't seem to attach the pictures...
I know that the eggs were fertilized because I saw the tom mate with our hen, but I was curious to know if I might have done a mistake by moving the eggs. I do it with the irresponsible chicken hens we have that were orphaned and don't seem to know how to hatch eggs, I'll put them in the nest of...
About an hour ago this little guy got attacked, his tissue is showing and he won't try to walk or stand up. He won't open his eyes either. He and his mother are in an isolated cage together and I put betadine on him (The redness around the wound is betadine NOT blood) . But I'm starting to...

So that's the problem, the chick got two puncture marks on it's head but we put Bethadine on the wounds and they healed but now he's acting very lethargic. He will often close his eyes, won't get up or walk often, and he's starting to refuse his food. I made sure he drank water but I need some...

I have a 3 week old chick who got stepped on by his mother; long story short, he can't walk and somehow disappeared this morning. The coop is full so we had to put that brood in a small wooden cage, the chicken-wire gap isn't very big ( 2.5 cm2 ) and there is NO TRACE of the body. Any ideas of...
Two days ago I was letting the mother hens out of their cage and this unlucky chick got stepped on by it's mother while she was getting out. He tried to stand up but he doesn't have the strength and the ankles seem swollen. To make matters worse, today he got his wing stepped on too. Any ideas...
