    Chicken losing weight?

    How did Gloria get? I just had the same thing happen. My Stella just died this morning. My heart is broken and I feel guilty. I did feed her separately and wormed her when I stated feeling the prominent breastbone. She was my favorite hen ever. She had no resp issues, so I thought she may...

    Comment by 'MotherNature7' in item 'Ameraucana'

    I have 5 total and I think at least 3 are male. 2 look just like the picture and one of the ones crowing looks just like the female pic with no muff! Do all the males have to have a muff? These supposedly came from a reputable dealer.

    Turkey feed Question

    My oldest turkey hen choked when I fed her gamebird crumbles. So I decided to give this to my worms and give her chicken layer feed pellets.. this worked out well until my local store started carrying gamebird pellets instead of crumbles. I thought I was doing them a favor by switching. Im...

    How do I get my turkeys to roost at night?

    I have a nice barn with a 2x4 roost for my 4 turkeys to roost and 3 of them go on top of the barn and 1 goes to the corner of the fence on the ground. He is perfectly healthy but doesn't get along with the girls so he goes to his corner at night! I hope that's ok. He is protected well by a...

    turkey poop

    Im new at turkeys too but it seems that everybody gets a little runny in the very hot weather. Whenever it happens to my hens (chicken and turkeys) I start with a 24 hour Epsom salt water. Stress, including hot weather, brings on the runs too.. Do you think so, Kathy?

    Do Turkey Tom's have spurs?

    My 3 1/2 month old has nothing yet, but he fluffs out every time I go in the pen and my other two 3 month olds never do. Is this a sign he is a male? I question this because his mom fluffed out all the time before she hatched eggs. This one is aggressive to the dog but never to the other...
