    Poor Dumb Turkey Mama

    Had a first time Royal Palm hen that hatched 7 of 11 eggs about a week ago. She is super protective but kept stepping on the babies. She started taking long travels through the days even though they couldn't keep up well. 3 died after a few days. I watched her standing on them but was afraid...

    Seramas Dying After Pip

    Good Day Folks, Nothing urgent here, just looking for some insights. I've done 5 batches of my own Serama hens' eggs this spring with the same poor results. I'd prefer to let them brood them but they aren't going broody. I hatch hundreds of eggs every year and am usually able to get 90% hatch...

    Turkeys Vanished

    HELP! We're freezing

    Peep, peep! Help! It's so cold in here. We got put in this box when we were only a few hours old and shipped across the country. Maybe we'll be fine but maybe it'll get too cold and we'll die on the way or shortly after arriving. Wish we didn't have to go until it was warmer inside this...

    Stay Vigilant!

    Just a reminder to everyone Always check on your birds. I try to observe my chickens in the daylight or at least inspect them on the roost but I've worked every day since January 25th and was pretty much collecting eggs and just feeding/watering in the dark. Yesterday I found a bantam...

    Royal Palm Hen won't stand up

    Hello, I recently bought a Royal Palm hen who was caught and handled gently all the way to my property. She acts as though her legs are disabled and lays there. She won't eat and wont drink except for by hand feeding her mash and water. She is alert and everything but hasn't stood since last...

    Hello BYC

    Good Morning, I am new as a member but have been lurking for a few weeks. Learning as much as I can about quail and raising them. I have an 800 sq foot aviary all ready for my bobwhite chicks that are still in their eggs. Hopefully that's enough room for the little heathens :) I have...
