she's a tough ole bird. she almost went down with the heat this summer. three days in my living room until she was able to stand up. now my turkeys have put a hole in her head. she was only down for a day, her one eye was closed for weeks. I'm gonna try to post a pic of the hole.
my question...
I have raised 20+ poultry in my brooder. this is the first with sprawl leg, at least I think its sprawl leg. my question is there something i can do to help it or should I put it down? it is a 4 day old Spanish black, one of four that I picked up 4 days ago.
1 I checked my turkeys in the morning before work and all was well, I came home from work and one was dead. could one have killed the other? there were a few feathers around.
2 now that one is gone the other is all alone. should I try to get another ?
can chickens have a stroke? what do you think I should do with it? one minute it looks dead, the next its running around with all the others. I noticed its neck was bent at about 4 weeks they will be 6 weeks tomorrow. It appears one whole side (except legs) seems dead. any suggestions would be...
I have 3 turkeys and 16 Cornish crosses. I got them Thursday and have been keeping them all together in the brooder. last night this one was acting funny. (coming over to me and wanting to be held) this morning I found him/her just lying there stiff. my granddaughters did hold them a bit...
I did read the meaties 101 post and would love to house them in a tractor. my question is. Do I need to coop them also or can I just house them in a tractor like the one in the 101 post? it has a roof so they can get out of the rain.
I have 15 crosses and 3 turkeys coming. my brooder is ready but I need to start my coop. from what I understand I have about 3 weeks. nice site Glad so many post pictures too.
do/can turkeys and chickens share a brooder? when would be a good time to separate them?
I have 15 Cornish Cross Chickens and 3 BB Bronze Turkeys coming in about 2 weeks.
I have about 25 sq ft of space (round) set up with 2 heat lamps at one end.
thanks,
