    Perplexed by abdomen distention and swelling.

    I have a hen (SLW) that is no longer laying (for over a year) who has been lethargic lately. I knew her time was coming, as she's an old girl and had a good life. She sleeps on the floor of the coop instead of the perch, and sometimes lays down to eat. Today I was feeding her from my hand and...

    AMPUTATED TURKEY WING- WILL HE MAKE IT? (pics)

    Help!! Please.

    I am at work so can not post a picture. This is the first time I've seen this happen and don't know if it is normal or what to do. The outer shell is completely broken but it's like she's stuck inside the inner membrane. She has not poked any holes in it. Is this something she will hatch from...

    Where to get chicken/poultry meds?

    Hi, before I go anywhere and look like an idiot, I'd like to ask this first. If my birds ever end up sick (need antibiotics, etc.) where do I get that? Do i really have to go to the vet and have her tell me to bring my chickens in, or is there a place I can get meds for poultry without the huge...

    Cheap Alternative To Reptipro 5000 Works Amazing!!

    So before I bought my Reptipro 5000, I decided I would not do so without an egg turner, WHICH THEY DO MAKE FOR THE REPTIPRO 5000. On the Reptipro website the turner and incubator totals $314 I decided to look at ebay (of course.) I found (from Reptipro) an incubator/turner combo auction for...
