    Are my eyes deceiving me or is this turkey egg fertilized?!? If so, what would be my next steps if I want to hatch any eggs?

    Bantams and standard together?

    I’ve been planning on getting 6 Golden Comets sometime this spring. I was also thinking of possibly adding a couple of bantams to my flock. Do bantams do okay with a flock of standard size hens or would I need separate them? I don’t want to put the bantams at risk. Thanks for any advice

    EGG EATERS!?!

    So, I have seven hens ranging from 1.5-3.5 years old. I have never had any trouble with them eating eggs, but yesterday I went to let them out of their coop/run to free range for the day as I always do. I noticed there were two intact eggs in the run as well as two broken shells (empty of all...

I have this EE named Froo-Froo and I was wondering if you all had any idea what she might have in her (What breed she might be crossed with). Do you know what this feather pattern is called--if it...

    POULT EMERGENCY-NECK INJURY

    This little poult has a neck injury and I'm not entirely sure how to treat it or if it can be helped. He drank a little bit of sugar water solution from a dropper and he can stand up on his own fine. He is also able to open his eyes and make peeping noises. The photo doesn't show it very well...

    The Missing Chicken and the Eggs

    Our story today begins with one missing chicken. This evening when I went outside to feed and put up my nine chickens, I realized that one of my Barred Rocks was missing. This wasn't too unusual as I often have one or two stragglers around the other side of the house or in the edge of the woods...

    Turkey Advice

    I just brought home four turkey poults yesterday. I think that they are drinking fine but they haven't been eating a whole lot. What is the best way to get the turkeys to eat? How much should they be eating at this point? I am feeding them a 27% turkey/gamebird starter feed.

    Chicken can't stand !!??

    My three year old RIR can't stay up on two feet. She tried to walk but when she does she collapses like her legs won't support her. I've never had any issues with her in the past and I'm very concerned for her. I'm going to try to post a pic that will hopefully show what I'm talking about.

    Rabbit question--large lump

    So I have a rabbit that is 8 years old (he is a meat rabbit turned pet) and he has a large lump on one of his rear legs. It's quite large, about the size of a baseball and to be honest I didn't notice anything until one day I just saw the large lump. I don't know if it developed slowly or if it...

    Starting of bumblefoot??

    I'm posting a pic of my hen (Maureen) who has a lump on her toe. I looked on the bottom of her foot and saw no sign of a thorn or any other foreign object in her toe.

    For a little context, I live in west central Indiana near Terre Haute, IN. My neighbors recently got ducks within the last year (all four of which ended up being male lol).

    Help. Strange behavior.

    My Easter Egger hen just laid her fist egg yesterday. She was acting completely normal scratching around the yard with the other hens. Today, however, when I went out to feed them, she was sitting in the far corner of the coop all by herself. She didn't respond at all to the food and I had the...
