    Unhatched Egg Disposal

    I have some unhatched eggs that need to be gotten rid of. But a few are like fully formed and it just feels weird to toss them. How do you guys get rid of them?

    Bantam has pasty butt, is not walking

    One of our bantams is not walking. She is sort of scooting around with her wings. She also has pasty butt, which we are going to treat in a few minutes, but she's not using her legs. She can perch, she can move her legs, ( I turned her upside down to examine her pasty butt). When I put my...

    Chick peeping 9 days before due hatch!

    I got chicks from a farm near us and put them in the incubator. There has been a lot of variety in progress, and this one has started peeping and rocking the egg. This can't be good, right? What should I do?

    Repost: Staggered Hatching

    So a while ago I posted about staggered hatching and I didn't get any replies so I thought I'd try again. So I bought 10 eggs from a local farm, put them in the incubator about a week ago and some are so much further along than others. I only see one that might not hatch, but with the variety...

    Turkey keeps going limp

    Ok so my tom has been through some stuff. It started when he was attacked by our dog. I think he should have died then. But my mom stitched him up and kept him in a dog crate for a few days. This was in February, and his wound has still not healed. He got better for a while and was standing...

    Staggered Hatching, Urgent

    So I put some eggs in an incubator last week and some are so much further along than others. Like some look like they could hatch within a few days while others just have little embryos forming. I have no problem with a staggered hatch, except these are fertile eggs I got from a local farm so I...

    Not Urgent Injury: Turkey has limp leg, was attacked a few weeks ago

    Some might know this already, but my turkey tom was attacked by a dog a few weeks ago. He seemed to make a full recovery, but today he has a limp leg. He can't put weight on it. The injury from the attack is on his chest, about 3-5 inches long. My mom thinks he might have muscle death. She...

    Broken Eggs Separate From Nest

    Update on our broody turkey: She is laying on them, but... there are two broken eggs outside in the run. They are completely separate from the nest, I couldn't check if there were any broken in the nest itself, but the day before, (she was not laying on them yet), they were all fine. Any...

    Turkey Called a Wild Turkey

    Our female turkey was chirping all day yesterday, and when I looked outside there was a female wild turkey was there. Any ideas on why? My guess is she wanted another girl, either for company, or she wanted someone else to lay on her eggs. She's got seven so far, hasn't laid on them yet, but...

    Introductions

    Hi all, I'm Ella, I have a flock of 4 chickens and two turkeys. Except all of them but one chicken have run away, but we're keeping an eye out for them, and listening for turkey chirps and gobbles. No signs of predators yet, but we know to not keep high hopes. But still, it'd be nice to get...

    Missing flock?

    My chickens and turkeys have disappeared. We have two turkeys, they kind of watch over the "flock," there's only four hens, no roosters. They're usually a close knit little family, and this morning they were in the neighbor's yard, and my entire family is too socially awkward to try and herd...
