Hi everyone!
After raising chickens for the past 8 years I decided to add some turkey poults. They are about 2 to 3 weeks old from good old tractor supply. Today I noticed one of my bronze breasted poult is limping and not sure the cause on how to fix it.
Food currently on is 30% Turkey...
this morning I went to let out my ladies and noticed one dead BIG hen in the yard (3 years old heavy hen). I coop up the ladies every night and I check around to make sure I didn’t miss any (they free range) Well last night I missed her, and something found her. It looks like it was a chase...
Two days ago my brother found one of my hens head stuck in between the post of dog chain link fence we use for a run. She had torn her skin off all of her skin around her neck trying to get it unstuck before she was found. When I got out of work I rushed home to see what the damage was and to...
I hatched my own eggs from my own flock and today i noticed blood on the shavings (like alot) no wounds on the baby chicks and they are on medicated feed. It seems like coccidiosis to me but they are not showing any other signs. Is it normal for such young chicks to get this? And how would they...
I usually get my shipped eggs within 2 days and this time I order eggs from a new lady through facebook. she sent me the receipt that the eggs were shipped on the 4th and today is the 10th. The eggs are still not here and the tracking is stuck on Florida. Are the eggs still viable? Should I ask...

Hello everyone!!

a coon got Into the grow out pen. The coon stole one cockerel and this poor baby was left limping. She was pretty mobile until today when the leg is stuck out behind her. I brought her inside gave her some scrambled eggs, her feed, some greens and apple cider vinegar in her water. She is resting...
I believe I have seven roos! I just wanted to make sure I’m accurate!
The list in the brooder box
1. Black sex link roo (can definitely tell with his big red comb
2. I have two Doms one has more White barring then the other (not sure which one would be the roo my guess would be the one with more...
this is my first time hatching my own eggs. So I’m newbie when it comes to figuring out if this egg is good or not. I do see some small veining but the air sack seems weird to me compared to the other eggs in my incubator.
Day 7
Temp in the bator is 99.5
Humidity is 45%
(Incubator and...
Hey everyone,
I’ve literally looked every where online for my unicorn fertile eggs and can’t seem to find them. I’m looking for lemon blue cochin fertile eggs to put in my incubator. If anyone knows where I can purchase these eggs or has some and would like to sell me a few that would be great...
has anyone ordered fertile eggs from my pet chicken? If so how was your hatch rate? I’m looking to start hatching my own babies for the first time and not sure what site to use.
Thanks bunches!
after a long summer battle of random dieases in my spring flock I thought I was in the clear until today when my favorite EE was acting strange. I noticed she was dropping like green poo and acting lethargic. (I know green poo means bile issue) so I saw a few different things and wondering what...
it wouldn't let me upload the video I have to show what's going on with my pullet but I'll do the best I can to describe it. I have lost two previous pullets out of the same batch. They are four months old and still in their grow out pen which they are running out of room due to being on...
Since we are nearing the end of another chick season i thought it would be fun for everyone to show off their "Then and Nows" All you have to do is show their baby picture and a picture of what they currently look like along with their breed name. If they are laying show off all three pictures...
i started with seven chicks in Mid May of this year. All were healthy chicks they stayed inside longer then my last batch because of the heavy rain. I moved them all outside into their own coop/run within my big girls run. All was well. They are about two to three months old and I was getting...
I have four Australorp cockerels for sale. They are black with green sheen not aggressive. Can't have them due to zoning laws. I would like to give them away free to anyone who is willing to take them.
I'm located in Mass
Thanks,
Amanda
When I got the chicks from tractor supply I knew they weren't ameraucana but I was hoping for at least some Easter eggers... now I don't even think that's what they are! Ugh! Help please!!
This is my first year doing chickens so I'm not sure what's going on with my baby chick. I bought her from tractor supply a couple days ago and noticed she had a red bump in her foot. The following day she started to limp and lay down after a short distance. She was eating and drinking and...
