I hatched these cuties from eggs purchased online from Alabama Silkies. The eggs made a looooong journey here to Idaho and after another couple of days finally came to rest in the incubator. Out of 8 eggs I got 5 babies. They are now almost 8 weeks old. 3 couldn't wait any longer and hatched...
We have a broad breasted white turkey, we manage her diet and she is about 2 years old now. Every so often she will get swelling in a leg typically at the ankle joint to knee and foot. We separate her and limit movement. This is the first time discoloration has occured, there is a slight...
7 week old poults and only recently has this occurred. It looks and feels like her leg is turned sideways and when feeling the joint where connects to the body it feels like that's where the joint is sideways and down the rest of the leg is the way it should be. Again this is very recent...

Hullo I was wondering if you could please spare some of your time admiring my chicks and if you can turn away to tell me what their gender is? TIA!
The first 2 pics show them together.
The next 4 pics are of the one I think may be a boy. I have nicknamed him littleTail as his tail feathers...
I have 8 week old 2 SLW and one golden sex link. The golden girl I already know so my pictures focus on the silver couple. They are always nearby and hate to be separated at all. They call to each other and are almost always laying down or foraging side by side. They could care less about any...
