Hey y'all. Somebody threw something at my Grandma's pet rooster and now he's not using his leg. He uses his upper leg, but there is no reflex in his lower leg or toes. We haven't been able to find anything broken and my vet said it could be nerve damage. I've read nerve damage can heal (at least...

Hello! I'm hatching eggs for the first time. I started with some random chicken eggs from old nests in the barn (most of which are infertile but stll in the incubator anyway, lol), 24 Bourbon Red turkey eggs and 12 Ancona duck eggs. So far I've thrown out 7 turkey eggs because they were in...
