Hello all,
Feels like I only post when I have an emergency :barnie
Oracle, a blind turkey of mine, went into a mating stance today and began wheezing significantly.
Her pattern of breathing involves a seemingly normal breath in, but her exhale is a long, strained, whistly and staggered wheeze...
My bird Meatball is a 4-month-old heritage turkey hen. She's a good size and is very feisty, but this morning she fell off the coop and got stuck in near-freezing mud. We found her likely within two hours (I was not awake when it happened) kicking her legs in a pinwheel unable to get up. We...
It's a 7 week old Golden Wyandotte chick that resides currently in a large wire crate with a dozen other chicks. I heard a big commotion this morning like a fight and found this one behaving extremely strange. She's keeping her chin tucked flat to her neck at all times and will enter spontaneous...
Is it mites?
For the past couple weeks my tom has been exhibiting tattered feathers on the left side of his breast and behind his neck (exclusively the left side) and I never thought much of it as I see certain hens pulling on his feathers every once in a while. Today, however, I was looking...

We recently got 6 Narragansett/Bronze heritage crosses and they turned on week old today.

Hello again. Our 7 month old Copper Maran Yin has recently begun exhibiting ill behavior.
She and her siblings are still laying their kinder eggs, if that helps. I cannot tell if she has stopped laying or not. She has a strange listlessness and while she can stand, will often stumble and fall...
[IMAGES INCLUDED] We have no idea what happened but a fox tried to drag this bird through our fencing. The skin has been completely ripped away exposing her neck muscles + fatty tissues. She is unharmed other than the skin missing from her neck and still clucks and eats. Is there any hope for...
Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong with my turkey Tom? We have three Narragansett toms and they got into a vicious fight today- two just absolutely coated in blood and mud on their heads with lacerations all over them.
Our best Tom, Regent, has awful discoloration all over his head...
