So a lady customer just brought me a single quail chick, she said it walked into the bar she was at and when they tried to let it go there were no other quail around and it just kept coming back into the bar. I'm all set up with a brooder for it, but I know poultry are flock animals, does this...

I have a 2 year old peacock who is showing signs of CRD - he has the classic foamy eyes and swollen sinuses with sneezing and mild coughing. He still gets around well, eats and drinks, no lethargy or anything, poos look fine. I've medicated him (as well as my entire flock) with tetracycline...

My husband and I own a feed store, and recently a customer brought in 3 Seramas and just said they didn't want them anymore (SCORE!!!!) This is my first go-round with Seramas, I'm not even sure if they're American or Traditional, what kind of class they are, nothing...the only things I know is...

So I noticed the night before last night that one of my hens (8 months old) was acting sluggish and keeping to herself. I picked her up and immediately noticed her crop was pretty darned full and hard. I did a quick check-over looking for any bugs, but she didn't have any lice or mites. No...

This question/description may be a bit vague, but I just want an idea of what's going on... My husband and I own a feed store, so we get a lot of people asking us a lot of questions... I had a gal come in this morning saying her friend had 5 turkeys, all right around 3 months old. She said...

I have several turkeys I'm slaughtering within the next couple weeks, but I'm not sure what to store them in for freezing. I have a friend who used a couple garbage bags per bird, can I do that safely?

I have 2 hens sitting on nests, and for the heck of it, I threw a few duck eggs in the mix. My last few attempts at using broody hens have failed miserably, so I wasn't very hopeful of success with this round...but guess what?! I have some pippers!!! :D I already plan on taking the chicks and...

My husband and I opened a feed store in our little city and have found that quite a few people don't know chicken scratch is NOT a complete feed. Unfortunately I have several customers who come in and buy 3 BAGS of scratch for only a dozen or so chickens PER WEEK!!!! I've revised our sign...

I butchered 2 BBB toms today; one was just fine in appearance, but the 2nd had some oddities. First off, the spot above his tail (still on his back) was black, covering an area about the width of a small apple. I noticed the skin was very brittle and kinda mushed apart really easily, and the...

I had a white leghorn hen, a brown leghorn pullet, and a modern game bantam (roo?)(4 months old, acquired from a different farm) drop dead at different times. My white leghorn was first, about a month ago; followed by the brown, about 2 weeks ago; and the game was just this morning. All 3 were...

DH and I opened a feed store not too long ago, and a customer came in a few days ago wanting to "get rid of these big, ugly chickens." For the heck of it, DH and I had looked up the tallest chicken breed a few weeks back, and with one look I knew these chicks were that kind! The customer had no...

This is my first time raising turkeys. I have 6 bronze and 3 whites. All are 2-3 months old now. Just within the last couple of days, I noticed one of my bronze hens isn't walking around with the rest. She just kinda hangs out in the coop (everyone free ranges during the day), and she does a...
