    Chick hurt leg in incubator

    I have a nurture right 360 and one of the eggs against the side hatched and the poor chick had their leg drop into a side slot. Just a freak incident. I tried to get something to pull the grates up, but the chick was fighting pretty hard and I don’t know how long. At the time, it wasn’t super...

    How long can eggs sit

    I have ordered hatching eggs for a few years now and enjoy the process more than getting stressed and sometimes deceased day old chicks. So, I'm pretty aware of the process by now and the lower hatch rates and other pitfalls of ordering hatching eggs. Typically, when I order these eggs, they're...

    Perosis in just one turkey in flock

    As the title says, one of my 4 Narragansett has a deformed leg. I have them on turkey 28% protein food, so it is not malnutrition. I have 8 heritage turkeys in total and only one is showing this issue. Is there anything I can do - just massage? What is the best way to bandage this up? I am...

    Hello! We've had quite the morning. I woke up to the power being out the day that my turkey poulets arrived at the post office due to a freak snow storm. I was able to get them from the USPS and get home and keep them by the fire until the power came back on. The issue is that I set up a...

    Crooked neck and wobbly, can’t fan feathers - Tom

    Hello - my male turkey was doing fine yesterday when I left for errands and he was walking around with his female turkey companion. When I got back she was aggressively pecking at his head and his neck was in a wonky position. He was and still is wobbly and can’t seem to stand and walk, keeping...

    Hen in Distress - injured, but no sign of outward injury

    I have a hen (1.5 years old) that I noticed was lethargic in the tractor. I isolated her in a separate tub for the night as it was late and I didn't see any specific injuries - so, first line was to isolate her from flock. I did notice that one of her eyes was closed, but the other is alert and...
