    Orphaned wild turkey

    So this morning my mom woke up to a surprise in her flock. A wild turkey was foraging with her birds. She resides in NJ and has a couple of birds of her own (including one turkey hen). Though turkeys are not that uncommon where she lives, we don't know where the bird came from. She allows my mom...

We cleaned the wounds with saline and then used blukote. She’s alert, eating, drinking, and standing up in her pen. However, I noticed her abdomen...

    Sneezy Chicken Help

    One of our little silkies started sneezing about a week ago. Didn’t think much of it cause it was infrequent. Now she’s sneezing constantly. Other than the sneezing she’s fine - eating, drinking, foraging, no ocular or nasal discharge. She also seems to be the only member of the flock displaying...

    Hawk Attack Laceration

    Hi all, so about an hour ago a hawk attacked my birds while I wasn’t home. Our one silkie got hurt the worst and received this large laceration above the tailhead.

    2 new black minorcas, any ideas?

    I stopped into a feed store today and saw these two sad looking birds sold as 1/3 of the chick price. They’re in rough shape and very flighty. I was told that they’re 7 weeks old and pullets. Any ideas?

    Pigeon is sick, please help

    I just noticed my pigeon is making weird noises. When we first got him i heard him sneezing a lot but I posted about it on facebook and they said not to give antibiotics. This most definitely sounds respiratory though. Can anyone confirm and have any medicine recommendations with dosages?
