My Eastern Wild Tom turkey suddenly got sick and died. His feces had an emerald green color. I haven't been able to figure what disease could have caused this. He had swollen nodules above each eye that appeared to be full of liquid. I have cleaned and disinfected the area he roosted...

Our 2 Year old Dominique Rooster has suddenly lost his voice. He appears healthy otherwise, but when he puffs up, flaps his wings and tries to crow, a pathetic squeaking sound comes out. Any ideas about what's up........and/or a fix or cure? Thanks for any help..... Chunky_ficken

I have a 6 month old BBB hen that was orphaned due to a coyote attack. She's been with our flock of Eastern's for about 3 months now.

I have been reading a lot of the DIY incubator threads and saw reference to "heat sinks" in a couple of threads with no real explanation of their function. One thread used baby food jars of water, and it seems that it would take up space, but if it helps hatch success, it seems it would be...

Hi all.......I'm considering constructing a cabinet style incubator and would like to get any input on a preferred heating element, as well as a fan and thermostat unit. Links would be helpful if at all possible, but any help and input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any...

We adopted this wild turkey hen from a neighbor that had 6 out of 7 birds killed by coyotes. We have Easterns, but this girl looks different. I was wondering if perhaps someone could tell what kind of wild turkey she is by the picture. Thanks all for any help. [/img]

Last night an owl dropped from the sky while my wife was out tending to the flock. He tried to take a 12 week old Welsummer Rooster, but my wife's screams scared him off. Our flock free ranges, and this is the first predator attack we have had (knock on wood). My questions are: what measures...

Hi all, I'm new to these forums, so I hope I'm posting in the right place. We raise Eastern Wild Turkeys, as well as chickens, and live on a rural road about 15 minutes from a fairly large city. Our turkeys are the talk of the neighborhood, as they are easily visible from the road, and the...
