    HELP: Chicks Sneezing and Dying

The next day (Friday), one of the turkeys was dead. I noticed this turkey was smaller and a little less active than the...

    Lamb Castration

    Today I got a bottle lamb and it's a ram so I'm wanting to get him castrated so I can keep him more as just a pet than a breeding ram. He is currently 2 weeks old so when should I get this done?

    Angel Wing?

    Today I noticed my Cayuga duckling's feathers seem to be growing in at an odd angle. Does this look like angel wing? It's never happened to any of my ducks and I just wanted to make completely sure before I treat it.

    Duckling I Ordered from Metzer Farms won't Stand

    I ordered some ducklings from Metzer Farms and all of them seem to be healthy except for one. It refuses to stand and isn't moving around. Does anyone know what might be wrong with it or what I should do? I've raised a lot of ducklings but this is the first one I've had a serious problem with.

    Shrink Wrapped Duckling?

    I have a few runner duck eggs I've been incubating and two are actively tapping away and working on their external pip while one hasn't shown any sign of activity. They all internally pipped fine but it's been over 24 hours since then. I went ahead and put air holes in all of them. I chipped...

    Duckling Seems to be Internally Piping Too Early

    I currently have 1 egg in my incubator. The humidity has been kept relatively stable because I've been taking my classes online at home, so I've been able to keep an eye on it at pretty much all times. The one problem I've had is with the temperature. It's stayed between 99.5 F and 98.5 F...

    Ducklings not pipping externally (Please Help!! This is my first time incubating eggs)

    I put my Pekin duck eggs on lockdown yesterday because they had started pipping internally. All of them were alive and I could hear them tapping on the shell. I checked them today and I haven't seen any progress. I have read in different sources that if there isn't an external pip within 24...
