Early morning on Wednesday one of my juvenile turkeys got attacked by something and has a gash on its leg. We cleaned it up and put some vetericyn on it cause that’s all I have on hand and bandaged it up as well as put her in a crate away from everyone else. I changed the bandage today and the...
I need a lot of help, my fiancé is out of town working and I just found out that my oldest Roo has a very bad lice infestation. His skin is red and raw and he has a bunch of clusters of nits. What’s the best way to treat him and then treat the rest of the flock and my yard as well?
It has been extremely muggy and hot here all week and I noticed this morning my Tom has really runny watery poop, almost like diarrhea. They have plenty of fresh water and food, but he just seems to get like this in the morning. Could it just be cause he’s drinking a lot more water?
They’re...
Is this normal for chickens to do. We free range them about 75% of the time and it’s been raining all day here but they seem to love it and won’t go back in the coop.
My Turkey is acting quite strange. Every slow at moving, lays down more often, he had watery white stools, and when my fiancé picked him up he also puked a bit of white looking liquid.
I need help, I don’t want to lose our lovely Tom.
I got 3 ducklings from Rural King Thursday and one of them is acting very lethargic, won’t eat, and we pretty much have to force him to drink. Friday morning I noticed one of his eyes wouldn’t open so I rinsed it with a warm rag and gave him fresh water but I had to go to work. Come back and now...
I got 12 turkeys from Rural King and they just keep dying. I’m not sure why. The have clean bedding, a heat lamp, and plenty of food and water. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong with them. I’ve never had issues with any of my ducks or chickens..
I recently got 12 turkey chicks and 5 of them have died and one is on the brink of dying. They have electrolytes in their water, plenty of food, and a heat lamp on them as well.
What is going wrong? Is it something I’m not doing that I should be..?
We got a chick from the feed store and she was all grey so I named her ghost. Well my fiancé seems to think she might be a rooster because the change in the color of her feathers are so drastic.
What do you guys think?
This morning when I went to the coop she was doing fine, sitting in the nesting box. My fiancé went to close up the coop for the night and she was in the same nesting box and had died. We are unsure as to why this happened, it was completely sudden. It was quite cold and very windy out today...
When is a good time to do this? I have about 20 chicks that are 2 weeks old and 4 that are about 12 weeks we’re thinking. We bought them from the feed store so not exact on their ages. I also have a flock of 6 hens and a Roo that are all 2 years old.
It’s my first time raising chickens and I...
Ive noticed on two of my 20 baby chicks that they are recently missing a lot of feathers down their back. Is this normal? And what Can I do to stop it? They’re pretty much to the point of being bald in a stripe down their back and I feel bad
