    Lethargic, "molting", royal palm turkey.

    My Tom turkey isn't doing so well. I thought a while back, when my chickens started to molt, that my turkey had also started to molt. He was acting funny, shy, he wasn't going out into the courtyard anymore or gobbling. I noticed he would huddle under the roosts and I thought it was maybe a...

    Baby chick with broken knee?

    Had a lot of chicks shipped, and in setting up the brooder I didn't notice a tiny crack between the divider door where I keep my young turkey hen and two bantam roosters, and when I came back to check the chicks I had 4 huddled in the corner, 1 dead by the door and this or one face into the...

    Let's play help me identify some chickens on the farm!

    We have 4 or 5 breeds of chicken we intended to raise, and because were a grandfathered farm, we're often the got spot of a lot of surrendered chickens. So, while I'm doing my best to learn to identify breeds, I haven't been able to get my hands of a copy of standard of perfection yet, and...

    Is this dwarfism?

    I have 8 week old Cornish cross game hen that we're slaughtering at the farm today for poultry, and like last time, I'm left with about 2 birds that just did not grow much at all from chicks. They all started with me from chicks from the hatchery, I've got one with a case of wry neck for the...

    4 eggs hatched in my barn loft yesterday, and 2 chicks fell down to the barn so I bright the rest down with the mom and her unhatched eggs. Only 1 more still was hatching, and it took all... damn day. And by 8, it was barely out. Left it with my farm hand and a heat light, since mama no...

    Sick chick, eye infection

    Found this poor chick on the farm, had a swollen eye. I imagine in a scuffle with another chick or such, but I sprayed singe banixx on it, and hoped it would do better. Found the dame chick, eye worse and infection had progressed into the good eye (didn't know it was an infection at first)...

    I want here working at the time, but the farmer accepted 2 surrenders to the farm because the people could no longer keep them. I work on a unique farm that's got million dollar homes and me, and I'm seriously questioning what possible breed these chickens are... I need to get pictures, but...

    Turkey with growth near beak from old scar

    Just wondering if anyone has experience with anything that looks familiar to this growth. This is a young heritage turkey and when it was just a day old chick, our barn cat got a hold of it by the eye and beak. It mostly stayed a small scar, or looking like a skin tag, until recently, it...

    3 week old chicks surrendered to farm, help identify please!)

    These adorable little peeps came to the farm at about ten days old, incubator hatched by kids and named Reeses and Kit Kat. It was a summer project at their grandparents, and their mother is a school teacher and didn't want to keep them so they brought then down here. I normally raise up...

    Young rooster, trouble identifying

    I've had this rooster for the past two weeks, he was brought to the farm after the owner realized that the chickens he purchased produced two roosters and he only wanted one. So he surrendered this young, friendly bird to me. I've been working with him to trust me, carrying him around the...

    Help identifying rooster breed?

    I've got a specific pet rooster that's as "chicken" as they come. He was surrendered to the farm as a feral for crowing too much in someone's backyard and immediately mauled by other roosters like none before. I took him away, healed him up, he's built an amazing amount of trust with me and...
