    Incubator off for 6-9 hours, will the eggs be ok? They’ve been incubating for a month at least

    just after a turkey chick had started pipping I went to bed. The incubator somehow got shut off between 12 am- 8 am since I had last checked on the egg at 12 before going to sleep. We lost the pipping egg, and both less developed chicks developed blood rings (I’m not sure how long they’ve been...

    I’m not sure if it’s ok to post for turkeys here, but turkey egg was beginning to pip last night and the incubator was unplugged 8-4 hours.

    I woke up this morning expecting some progress and instead the incubator was unplugged and the chick stopped moving. Membrane looks dry. The incubator was cold and so was the egg. I really don’t want this to ruin my Christmas, please let me know what I could do to help it.

    Uncontrollable mites.

    This chicken has been going through it since day 1. She was the 4th reject of the summer and had a hole pecked in through her chest opposed to her head and that’s why she lived to be 2 months as of today. Then we noticed she had scissor beak when she was nearing 3-5 weeks of age. Not much of a...

    Chick not hatching after 24 hours

    I have a bantam chick, and it had begun peeping about a 2-3:00 p.m. pacific time yesterday. The membrane is turning yellow. Should I assist this hatch, or just leave it? I took a video, and because you can’t post vids here, here is the link to it on YouTube. I also added a photo.

    Weird mite like problem with hen

    I caught one of our more skittish Americana hens today, and realized something off about her neck.

    Turkey not drinking water

    I have a bbw turkey Tom who is extremely attached to me, and will stand at my door and wait for me all day. The problem is, no matter how much water I have for him he won’t drink, and just struts, gobbles and pants all day in 75°+ heat. Any tips on getting him to drink?

They both lay by now, and are fully grown, but they look different from most. They do lay olive colored eggs...
