They start out ok, eating and drinking. Then they become lethargic and stop eating or drinking. I have taken a couple that died to the Poultry Diagnostic Lab to see if they can tell me what was going on.

come on people. Someone must know something

Someone gave me some "wild" turkey eggs. 10 hatched and all 10 died in a day or so. I got an older turkey and a chick to help teach them to eat and drink. Then the other 6 hatched. One died in incubator. Others are very sickly now. The chick that I got to help them learn from is now sick. I...

I went to pick up chicks the other day and they guy told me that someone stole one of his show/breeder roosters. Someone had come the day before to get some chicks and wanted that rooster, but he wouldn't sell it. Next day it was gone.

what probiotics do you use?

I have some chicks that we just hatched and have had others before. I have to make these guys eat and drink and they aren't active at all.

I got 2 lavender orps yesterday and when I got home one was pretty lifeless; not eating, drinking, running around. So I took it in the house to make sure that it was eating and drinking. I added vitamins/electrolytes and antibiotics to the water. Made it drink and eat every so often. It made it...

same thing happened to me, but my hens were sitting on them. very upset

I gave someone 2 hens that I thought might be egg eaters and he was going to make roll away nesting boxes for them so that they can't get to the eggs once they lay, but he said he hasn't had a problem with them. You should look into making roll away nesting boxes and it should be okay.

I went out Sunday to get chickens some water and when I opened the back of the chicken tractor a 5 1/2 foot black snake was wrapped around waterers. My 4 large roosters weren't making any noise or anything. And the snake wasn't bothering the chickens. I don't know how long it was in there, but...

I give mine the watermelon after we have gotten most of the heart out of it and my chickens eat it clean down to the very outside of the watermelon. They also like to "pick" their own blackberries and will jump up and grab plums off of my trees. They also like to run the cats away from anything...

I was wondering if anyone has ever made any of them. I would like to make some.

Quote: yes, they will come out in the day. I saw one in my neighbors driveway up by her house. We also have seen them in some of the fields around us.

I saw the same article and I'm thinking of doing that for my extra roosters and egg eating hen.

Necked Neck/Turken rooster, he is approx. 6 months old. I already have a NN rooster and need to rehome him. Pick up only. Middle Georgia area. PM me if interested.

I have a chick who had splayed legs and toes were curled under. We tied embroidery thread around the legs to pull them in and put clear tape in it's toes to straighten them out. We then cut a small piece of self liner on the bottom of it's feet to keep it from sliding. It worked and it is...

I have lost 2 chickens to Infectious Laryngotracheitis. I took one to the vet today and had to have her put down. The vet told me to get a vaccine for this, but I'm having a hard time finding a place to get it that doesn't charge $50 for shipping. Anyone know where the best place might be?
