Hi all, I have a baby turkey that's maybe 2 weeks old. I found her this evening with an unwell look to her and labored breathing... Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?? I'm so worried. Gape worm maybe?
I posted a video to the turkey FB group, you can watch here. I tried to post it...

Hi, all,
I have a black Spanish turkey named Jose. He is the sweetest thing, and we've raised him with our chickens, ducks, and guineas. He is 3 months old, and up until last week, he was cooped up for the night with the ducks (3 male Pekins and 3 female anconas) and the guineas. We went on...
Hi all,
I have an almost 5 month old duck that all of a sudden can't walk as of yesterday. When I pick him up he flaps his legs so they're working fine. I put him in the pool and he can hold himself too. He walked a little today when a lot of support of his wings, and it looked painful.
Any...
Hi y'all!!
I bought 6 straight run Pekin and KCs ducklings from TSC, hoping for a mix of boys and gals. Well wouldn't you know it, I ended up with ALL BOYS!!! :eek:
I have rehomed one of the KCs because he was bullying my smaller, neuro challenged guy. They're now about 4.5 months, and I am...
Hello,
I am looking to get some opinions on one of my Pekins. Cash has a neurologic condition that makes him a little unsteady on his feet, and he used to tip into his butt up until about a month ago. During that time, I noticed that the tail feathers on his little rear were breaking and...
Hi all,
Boy am I glad that we're able to post to BYC again! I have been having an issue for about a week with one of my Pekins. He is about 2 months old, and out of nowhere has been having issues standing and walking. He can walk but a few steps and looks almost drunk. He has been eating well...
One of my Pekins has developed a goopy eye, with no other symptoms. He let me pick him up yesterday and soak it with a warm compress. It is rather crusty.
Any ideas what this could be and how to resolve it?
TIA!!
Hi everyone,
I have a question about one of my ducklings. He (or she) is eating and drinking well, and seems perfectly fine, with the exception of one thing. When he is standing, he looks to be shivering, or having tremors. He's shivering so severely that you can hear it on the ground that he's...
Hi all,
My name is Danielle, and I live in NH with my fiance. We have three dogs ("the boys," as I commonly refer to them), and we now have 15 chickens and three ducks! I had ducks a couple of times when I was a kid, but the lack of secure housing led to their demise.It was heart breaking. We...
