My brother's favorite turkey hen developed pure white eyes in just 3 days. We have no idea what's going on. We have her quarantined for now and my brother is considering putting her down. Any chance this could be reversed? Is it something contagious? Please help!
I'm trying to figure out what my sebrights are worth. I love them but sadly, I need to downsize. I've enclosed a pic of my roo and one hen. I know the roo's comb isn't standard. Any help would be appreciated.
So I just bought 6 emu hatching eggs from this place and it wasn't until after that I saw a thread on here that made me nervous. Does anyone have any experience with them recently? I've spent a little under $200 on these eggs and I'm scared now. I've never had anything but good contact with...
We had a chick hatch that was very strange. She had a rectum and all the other parts but was missing her butt. Here's a pic of the chick with its sibling. The top chick is normal and the bottom one is very much not. We had it for 3 days but we loved it. Could there have been internal issues we...
My brother and I are trying to start an emu farm. We currently have one adult male and a baby about a month old. Our boy is very lonely since his mate decided she hates him and we had to sell her.
Anyone know where we can buy some birds within about a 2 hour driving distance from Canterbury CT?
This is our little easter egger named Cloud. The bottom of Cloud's beak was slightly off-center a few days after she hatched and it's been getting worse and worse as time goes on. Has anyone dealt with this before? Will she be able to survive or could this kill her? She seems to be eating...
We picked up a new bantam roo. He just started crowing but I don't know the exact age. He was fine when we brought him home but now his right foot is swollen and hot to the touch. He's having trouble walking on it. We checked for breaks and found none. Also no signs of external injury. Any ideas?
I've got a flock of 45-day old pullets and in the last week I've lost 2 and 4 more are sick. They seem fine and then just get weaker and weaker until we have to force-feed them to keep them alive. Some get better but I don't know what's going on. My brother suggested a vitamin deficiency. It...
We got some button quail hatching eggs and they hatched today. OMG. They are so friggin tiny. The eggs these babies are standing next to are chicken eggs, for a size reference. I can't wait for the 24 hours to be over so I can hold one!!
This is my daughter's hen. The hen's name is Chocobo (Yes, from Final Fantasy). Her 'cluck' sounds like a broken bicycle horn Lol.
In this pic, her head is tucked and she looks like a tribble. Lol
EDIT: So it turns out my brother got the chickens for free and didn't want me to chastise him for getting more chickens. *facepalm*

So.....um.....my brother went into the chicken pen a few minutes ago and discovered we've apparently been visited...
I live on a farm with 2 emu (A mated pair). The farm next door is felling trees today and the owner dropped two huge ones right in a row. It scared the crap out of the female and now she's attacking the fence of her pen trying to get out. How do I calm her down? I was able to pet her for a bit...
My chick, Tinkerbell, was born 2 days early. She had splay legs in the begining and the bandaid thing seemed to work great. But sudenly since the morning of the 18th she can't walk. She can only flop around using her wings and usually winds up on her side. She's eating and drinking fine. I don't...
