I bought turkey poults yesterday. The seller pointed out how the guinea chicks had been pecking at the poults beaks but upon closer inspection, one's top beak is in pretty bad shape. How likely is this to affect the turkey's quality of life? It's breathing seems odd as well which I'm sure is...
I have some Silver Laced Chocolate English Orpingtons who I have been trying to hatch eggs from in my incubator. There is crystal clear evidence of fertilization but NONE of them are developing at all in my incubator. I have other eggs in with them from my whiting true Blue hen and they are...
Okay so I have some English chocolate orpingtons (3 hens & 1 roo). I've been hatching out some of their eggs in the incubator and I have one that hatched a different color!!
I am so confused because there is absolutely no access for any other rooster to get to these hens!! And when I gather, I...
This hen came in the assorted egg layers order from Hoover Hatchery.
I have a couple of hens starting to lay and I'm almost positive this one could be who is laying a brown egg! But she's supposed to be laying colored eggs.
Any ideas?!
This guy started out months ago with a little bit of bubbly stuff in the corner of his eye.
He started getting a swollen area under his eye, some days it looked worse than others. Some days it seemed to be going back to normal.

I'm posting two pictures. The darker one I know is a rooster but the lighter colored one is throwing me off a little 🤦🏼♀️ the wattles aren't as large as the darker roo but at 13 wks, the wattles are larger than my almost 20 wk Orpington pullets!!!

My roosters: Chocolate & Lavender
My Hens: Mauve, Chocolate & Lavender.
Pretty positive the egg didn't come from my lavender hen because her eggs are...
A friend and I ordered some of the English Orpington Variety off of Hoover. The first batch they sent, some were definitely not Orpingtons (feathered feet). So after my friend contacted Hoover, they sent out some more.
Does this look like an Orpington? It doesn't to me but I'm still new at...
So I have 4 six week old Silver Laced Chocolate English Orpingtons. I noticed one of them had greenish eyes and none of the rest did. Now about a week or two later I checked today and all the rest of this eye color. I'm praying it's not Marek's but could it be or is it just a normal eye color...
I have a week old silkie chick who every time she picks her foot up to take a step she shakes it like she's trying to get something off of it! She does this with both feet.
I inspected her feet and saw nothing out of the ordinary! What could this be?? The others are not doing this. She seems...
