    Good breed to befriend turkey?

    Hello~ I'm looking into getting a large chicken to be a companion of sorts for my turkey. I believe a coyote got his brother and the chicken flock he used to hang out with and he's the last bird left. I've since moved him over to my property and set him up in a kennel, but I can tell he's...

    Sickly rooster

    I have a rooster who has seemed a little down lately, he has no energy and he weighs nothing. I've checked thoroughly for lice or mites but I haven't seen anything. He's in the middle of molting and weighs absolutely nothing. He's getting picked on by the other birds so I'm separating him and...

    Mysteriously dying parakeets

    My grandma has two parakeets in the same cage that have been together for about 3 years now and have been perfectly fine up until last week when the younger one died without warning. My grandma went and bought two more parakeets a couple days later and now, two more days later, one of the new...

    Pigeon acting strange

    I have two fantail pigeons, and this white sort of dappled one is usually terrified of people but as of today he seems out of it. He usually runs to the other end of the cage when I'm anywhere nearby, but today I can pet and hold him with absolutely no fight. I even flick my fingers around in...

    Picky Pigeons

    My grandma and I recently bought a couple fan-tail pigeons and bought a bag of "pigeon food" to feed them with. From what I've researched on pigeons, it looks like a good balance of what they need, but ours won't eat most of it. They scoop and fling out over half of it from their dish and it's a...

    Lethargic heavy breathing old hen

    I have a hen I believe is around 7-9 years old (my oldest hen in the flock) who suddenly turned lethargic over the last couple days. I brought her inside and she's interested in pecking around and trying food but she won't eat more than a few pieces and her poop is extremely watery and smells...

    Possible infection?

    I'm considering the possibility that my turkey hen has a sinus infection, but I'm not certain because from pictures I've seen it doesn't appear to be a case. Instead of her sinus being swollen, it's collapsed. I've highlighted the area because it's hard to see and get good lighting while...

    Injury on bird's head (made by other bird?)

    I went out to let my peacock loose and found out he had this huge wound on the top of his head. I can't imagine one of my roosters being bold enough to take him on (I keep the chickens and peafowl together) and I find it hard to believe it was a rat. He's was locked up in the run with the rest...

    Weirdly sitting turkey poult

    I just bought a new baby turkey today, and I've noticed it has a strange sitting habit. This is only the second turkey I've owned, but I don't remember my first one ever doing this when she was a baby He/she constantly leans back like this unless perched on my hand or sitting in my lap or...

    Wandering female turkey

    I have only one turkey which I believe to be female and recently she's been starting to wander. She's gone over to the neighbor's a few times to play with the kids which I never had much problem with, besides she poops on their porch, but now today she wandered down the road to a retirement home...

    Why is my female turkey aggressive?

    My turkey is approximately 8 months old and is EXTREMELY socialized and loves people. She's always been aggressive towards other animals and scared of other birds but she absolutely loves to cuddle with people. However, starting around 2 months ago she became aggressive towards my cousin...

    Can turkeys see well in the dark?

    At first I always assumed farm birds had poor eyesight at night but the turkey I have seems to be proving me otherwise. I bring her into the garage at night to sleep in a dog kennel (which she hates) and I leave her for a few minutes so she can eat and drink before going to sleep, then when I...

    Are turkeys supposed to have feathery heads?

    I have an approximately 6 month old black turkey who has grown feathers all over his/her head/neck. I'm completely new to owning turkeys and this one is my first and only so this might be completely normal, but I just want to make sure because I'm having a hard time finding any information about...

    Chicken dislikes eating regular chicken feed (losing major weight)

    There is a whole story along with this issue that could possibly be an influence to her current attitude towards her chicken food I have a 2 year old brown leghorn hen who has just been full of problems. From when she was a chick to when she was a year old, her health was no different than any...
