I just got home from work and checked on my turkeys in the incubator and found that someone is trying to break out of jail. I have no idea how long he has been at it. So do I help or resist the urge?

We have two bourbon red turkeys they are both just over a year old. When they were little we were sure we had a male and a female because the one had feathers a lot further up the neck and was smaller than the other. Then early this spring the one we thought was a female started strutting and...

Thank you so much!

BuffOrps123 I separated him from the rest and he is drinking water on his own. So now I am just wanting to get his electrolytes replenished since it is really hot.

I have a roo showing signs of dehydration and I need to get him some electrolytes. I can't find my emergency electrolyte packet for chickens that I had and I can't get out of town right this second to get more. So will Emergan-C work in a pinch?

I picked the chicks up today and some are Banty some are regular. The guy said a Banty momma hatched them so he thought they were all Banty but clearly all are not. I held my chick while I put the others in the box then put him back in and he stood and looked at them like they were aliens but he...

I FOUND CHICKS!! I pick them up Monday. They are a Banty mix. So here is my next question what do you do with a Banty mix?

Good for you! So glad you broody took in the baby! My broody hen just looked at my fuzzy all confused and pecked him every time he tried to get under her wing.

Well the surrogate wanted nothing to do with the baby and I felt so bad he tried his hardest to get under her and she just kept pecking him away. I have posted on several boards and craigslist that I am ISO baby chicks so hopefully something will turn up.

Poor little thing. The mirror has really helped my little fuzzie. He has a wash cloth, little stuffed monkey, a mirror and a feather duster in with him. He is pretty happy most of the time but when he starts yelling I will go and hold him for awhile and then he is fine again.

Also I am located in central Illinois.

BoiseChik your mismatched babies are adorable! No one at the extension office knew of any babies right now so I am going to post an ISO add on craigslist and I am also going to try and get my broody hen to be a surrogate to the chick. So fingers crossed that she takes him in.

I did check Craigslist and no one has any close by. None of our farm stores will order in chicks after the end of may. I am going to call our local 4H extension office in the morning and see if they know of any around.

Thank you so much for the ideas! He does have a heat light on him and I am going to see if anyone has any new chicks and will let me buy one or two but if not I will find him a surrogate momma.

Our eggs started hatching two days ago and only two hatched. One baby didn't make it so I am left with one chick. What can I do for this only baby. He is eating and drinking but is very lonely. I ended up putting a wash rag in the box last night for him to cuddle with.

Our chickens consist of 2 - Ameraucana hens, 2 - Barred Rock hens and 1 - Barred Rock Rooster (we paid for all pullets but SURPRISE one was not like the others). Then we also have a crap load of guineas. Ok so here is my problem. None of our hens have ever sat on their eggs but I went down this...
