Hello! I added pigeons to the list of birds I own about a year ago. I fell in love with them, and currently have a few breeds I’ve been working with. It’s been difficult for me to find anyone within my state who has pigeons. I’ve found several in neighboring states, but they are usually several...

Yes, I feed them lettuce every other day. I just wanted to be sure it wasn’t roundworm or something. Thanks!

Hi all, I’ve seen the chicken poop chart many times, but I need some others opinions before I decide if this poo is normal. I’m afraid it might be worms. This particular dropping came from my turkey hen, but the chickens sometimes have the same droppings. They are all acting normal. Thanks in...

Yes it is really odd. I have hatched several batches of shipped eggs before and never had fluid build up quite like this. I think I will keep humidity cut back until close to hatch day. I'll also candle in a few days to see if the fluid has lessened. If not, I will try what you suggested and...

I am using the Brinsea Mini Advance incubator. I have used it several other times before with no issues. It has a water pot in the center with a divider in it. The manual says to keep water in one of the two divider halves until lockdown, and that the depth of water doesn't matter. By the...

I have two rare breed chicken eggs in my incubator. I started with five but only these two have made it so far. They are shipped eggs, and have about 9 days left until hatch. Because of them being shipped, they have pretty significant saddle shaped air cells, and from what I have read there is...

Thank you guys for your insight! I think I will start feeding only a complete feed of some sort, whether it be an all flock and layer mix, and only feed scratch as a treat.

Yes I have considered it and I will probably switch to that. Thanks for the input!

I've had poultry for roughly 11 years now. I've had a consistent feeding schedule for a long time, which consists of a layer feed mixed with scratch grains. In the winter I feed Purina Flock Raiser because of the extra protein (20%) and also because I have a mixed flock of chickens, ducks...

Ok, so I tried giving baby Turk some egg yolk last night, but he didn’t show any interest. That could have been because he absorbed enough nutrients before hatching, so he still isn’t quite hungry. This morning I tried to see if he could stand on his own, but still can’t. There is a little...

Thank you for the suggestion! I currently have the turk baby in a padded cup. So far looking good! It’s trying to use its legs and is in a normal position, so I’m hoping this well help. I will get the vitamins tomorrow.

I just had two baby turkeys hatch in my incubator yesterday. One is fine, but the other one hatched with his legs going behind him. It’s like he can’t put his legs underneath him. I’ve tried the typical things, like bandaid and hair tie ideas, but it hasn’t helped.His legs aren’t actually...

I have a 1 year old turkey who suddenly lost use of her legs. We have 3 turkeys total and she is the only hen. The others seem to be fine and healthy. She just lays there and eats and drinks but won't get up. We saw one day she was stumbling and falling over. It has been a week and no...
