    PLEASE HELP... Very Sick Turkey Tom, desperately trying to save him!!!

    Broody hen spilled water all over..

    I'm hoping to get some thoughts on this, as many of my past posts didn't get many replies. I have a broody hen sitting on two eggs. She is in a broody cage in my house (can't hatch eggs outside, it has been below zero out until recently). She is on day 15. I was gone for 3 hours today...

    Question about adding water to incubator (First time hatcher!)

    I am excited to say I'm about to start my first chick hatch! Yay! I'm trying both a broody hen AND an incubator. At the candling on day 11, I will take any bad eggs from under my hen and replace with any good ones from the incubator. If there's more good ones than what can fit under her...

    Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! A friend of mine has surprised me with an incubator for Christmas. It's a "yescom" brand (anyone familiar with those?). It sounds like a nice one, as it fits 48 eggs and has an automatic turner. I also happen to have a broody hen (hen from my profile...

    Advice PLEASE! Why is this taking so long!?!?

    Hi everyone, about two weeks ago I lost my little silkie Roo unexpectedly. I saw him hunched over and not being himself, but he always struggled in the winter, so I didn't think anything of it, but then I noticed his crop was HUGE and it wasn't going down and he wasn't pooping. I know that...

    Chickens won't leave the coop!

    I have a flock of 18, and more recently I saved a rooster from being killed by his previous owner because he breeds show birds and apparently my rooster had the wrong color ear lobes. So I put this new rooster (Ziggy) in with my two Nigerian dwarf goats. They have a large shed to go in and a...

    Can different species of animals transfer parasites?

    I have a goat that I have been treating for worms and cocci, the goat came from what I thought was a reputable breeder, but he is very sick. After deworming twice I had a stool sample checked and cocci and strongyles showed up still. Can my other pets get the parasites from him, as I do...

    Which medicine should I use?

    I have a sneezing chicken and I'm not sure which medication I should try. The only symptom is a raspy sneeze. No bubbly eyes and no discharge from the nostrils. I tried 3 days of soluble tylan (1 tsp in half gallon water), and I tried 2 days of Baytril ( .25 ml twice daily). There has...
