    Coryza or scratched eye ball?

    I noticed today that my light brahma who is 15 weeks old had one if her eyes shut. She has always been smaller than my other brahma hen and always a little paler. She was laying in the shade when I noticed. I picked her up and stared at for while and she didn't open her eye. When I put her down...

    Lice? Mites?

    My royal palm tom had been acting a little strange, he just wasn't being as active as he usually is. I looked him over and found a whole bunch of these bugs on him. Luckily I had some Garden and Poultry Dust and treated him with it. I also completely cleaned their coop and sprinkled some of the...

    Lice? Mites? Help!

    My royal palm tom had been acting a little strange, he just wasn't being as active as he usually is. I looked him over and found a whole bunch of these bugs on him. Luckily I had some Garden and Poultry Dust and treated him with it, along with my rooster (who only had a few) but my other birds...

    Elliot The Rooster That Lives In The House

    It started on April 19th, 2013 when driving home with my dad I saw a rooster on the side of the road. We pulled over, picked him up, got back into the truck and drove down the road to a farm. We assumed that this beautiful white rooster with a frostbitten comb was the farmer's. He claimed that...

    Might Be A Stupid Question :)

    I have one lonely rooster surrounded by lovely ladies that he cannot mate with (they are turkeys.) I was thinking about finding him some of his own ladies to protect and mate with. I know that my Royal Palm turkey has a hard time mating with our BBW turkeys and he usually "can't get the job...

    Turkey Gone Broody

    My royal palm turkey went broody about 3 1/2 weeks ago with 7 eggs. Of course she decided to lay the eggs in the shed full of chemicals and tools with no door. We cleaned out as many chemicals as we could and moved the tools. My mom and I built a "box" around her. We took two boards (since she...

    Rooster

    I found a single combed white leghorn rooster on the side of the road about two weeks ago. When he is out of his coup he attacks people, at first it was just men however today he attacked my mom and my little sister. He is so sweet to me and I have grown really attached to him but I don't know...

    Skinny Rooster

    I'm not sure what to post this under but yesterday my dad and I found a rooster on the side of the road. It only took us about a minute to catch him and once I was holding him he was very calm. We walked down the road to see if anyone knew who his owner is. We couldn't find his owner but while...

    First Egg Ever :D

    I looked in the coup today to see an egg, after further inspection I noticed there was two yet one had been crushed. We have three Broad Breasted Whites, a Royal Palm female, and a Royal Palm male. I am still not sure who laid them, but none of the females were around and the egg was pretty...

    Groups

    I have two pearl guineas and two royal purple guineas. Starting a few months ago, (we got them in late June when they were a day old) there was one purple guinea who always was excluded from the group of the other three guineas. I was thinking that it was just that guineas personality and...

    Jungle Gym for Turkeys?

    My turkeys and guinea hens love flying onto random things, an outdoor table, a trampoline or (their favorite) an excavator. I made them a same perch outside with a cut upright birch tree and a board that I shimmied between two trees. I want to make them more to play on and I was wondering if...

    Help!!! Crooked Beak (Pictures)

    Her beak is so severe that she drools on herself as you can see in the picture. I was hoping that there would be some ideas on how to save her. She is so sweet and the last thing I want to do is to put her down. She can eat just as fine as the other birds although it does take her a little...

    Guineas Roosting in Trees

    It is supposed to be 17 degrees tonight out here in Maine and our 5 guineas have just gotten into the habit of roosting in the trees above their coup. (This starting three days ago. Now they insist on it.) Will they be alright in the cold? There is also one of my turkeys left out, she's...

    Crooked Beak!!

    About three days ago I noticed that one of our turkeys has developed a lopsided beak. This turkey has been fine since we bought her at a local farm supply store. His beak was clipped before we bought him, and that grew back normally. His beak is very crooked and I have read online that once...

    Guineas Are Bullies

    After having guineas for about 6 weeks (including the loss of 17 out of our 22 guineas) we thought we could get turkeys. From all the searching i've done I have found that turkeys and guineas get along. However when we bought our two turkeys we saw that they're beaks had been clipped. The...

    Mosquitos

    Do guinea keets eat mosquitoes? I only ask because in our coup there are extremely small spaces between the slats of wood on the sides. They are not large enough for any predator to reach a paw into but they are still big enough for a mosquito. So should I leave it be or buy some mosquito...

    Brooder and Feed Problems

    The brooder that I made for our 22 guinea hens almost two weeks ago is getting way to small. I used a dog crate and lined it with cardboard and so on. They seem comfortable in they're home but i'm worried they do not have enough room. They are starting to fly in what little space they have but...

    Introducing Guinea Keets To Bird Dog?

    About 6 years ago we got a English Springer Spaniel from an animal shelter. She was from a puppy mill but we believe she was also trained as a bird dog. She has killed a few chickadees and another small bird since we have had her. We also have a black lab who is 3 which we have raised from a...
