    Male or female?

    5 1/2 month old turkey, I've been assuming that Gravy is female, but lately she's been puffing out and fanning her tail at the chickens (the other turkeys that I bought with her didn't make it past a month...I got a free rhino virus bonus with their purchase...grrrrr...Gravy had it also but...

    Swollen feet?

    My daughters favorite hen, Vanilla (8 month EE), has both feet swollen. She doesn't seem to limp much, but she's also not walking completely normal. All of our other chickens are fine. I can't see any cuts or anything. We free range our chickens (locked in coop out night with wood floor and pine...

    Just hatched, need help!!!

    She broke free herself/himself and is fine!! Freaked me out because of everything I read about blood vessels being absorbed first and all that. Did figure out later when I saw the other side of the egg shell where I marked that the chick is one of my eggs from my naked neck and daddy is my EE...

    Just hatched, need help!!!

    Yesterday I had my first successful hatch. This morning found another egg with a pip. The first one took 24 hours, so thinking I have time. Checked egg an hour ago and still just a pip. Just went to check again and baby is out (this egg came from a friend, either naked neck or show girl??) But I...

    Water test

    My first time incubating....chicks were due yesterday. No pips or anything. (I did have one start to pip couple days ago and then everything stopped all together....it's beak was stuck and couldn't move or something and it went to chicky heaven). I just tried the water test that I read about on...

    Mareks?? New to all of this

    Well, As of yesterday Condor wasn't moving or flexing one of her legs at all, and the leg was just cold and stuff. The same vet that I took her to (who I know does not specialize in birds! Cows are his thing...but out here its over 50 miles to any vet specialist)...was out here this morning for...

    Mareks?? New to all of this

    Should I also vaccinate the ducks that I'm hatching for Mareks? No real changes in Condor. She's eating and drinking real good but her legs aren't working. She now lays most of the time with one leg front and one leg back. So from what I've researched I'm sure it's Mareks. I'll give her some...

    Don't know if the picture of Condor sitting up came through or not, so here it is again!

    Mareks?? New to all of this

    Thanks!!!! My vet didn't do blood work or anything....he's a country vet...really good with cows....amazingly compassionate...but I don't know of any vets near me that specialize in birds or anything... I have vitamin B-12 (2500). My daughter made Condor a scrambled egg and I crushed the pill...

    Mareks?? New to all of this

    Thanks!!!! Right now I just want some hope for her! Right now I'm watching her trying to sit up on her own and she's doing it a little. She's not laid out flat on her side at least.

    Mareks?? New to all of this

    Did your chicken loose leg function and regain any of the function in the 2 months? I don't want Condor to suffer, but I also never give up on any of my animals that are sick or injured. I'm not sure how long I should give her. If she's never going to be able to walk again and her only hope is...

    Mareks?? New to all of this

    I'm new here, I'm one year into chicken ownership/addiction....I have a 5 month old EE, Condor (my husband named her...). She's been acting/walking funny the past couple weeks. When this started, at night instead of roosting with the rest, she would park herself in a nesting box, arrange hay...
