    Help Diagnose my turkey please:(

    Hello, my turkey seems to have fallen ill. I have done procedures of isolation from my flock. The turkey's symptoms are white puss at the eyes, discharge at nostrils, lethargic, and weak. If you have an idea what it could be, please tell me and give suggestions to help cure it.

    Preventing Hawks...Is It Possible?

    The Great Pyrenees is a great breed to use for protecting livestock. They will sleep, eat, drink, and live beside your animals. They will give their lives to protect their herd or flock of animals. I do recommend creating structures for them to hide around when they are outside.

    Hawk Problems

    @centrarchid how is it part of my problem? Even though it is, you do not have to state the obvious.

    Hawk Problems

    @guineapeeps I do have a neighbor that lives close by the acre lot I have my animals on and they are city slickers so I am not sure about getting more of them without them complaining to the township I live in.

    What is the best way to incubate quail eggs with a high hatch rate?

    Hello all, the hatching season for quail for me is pretty much over when the colder weather arrives since hatching quail in the winter is a very tedious task.

    Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

    @theuglychick get a trail camera and kinda stalk the chicken like a wild deer. Try to locate where she sleeps and grab her late at night.

    Hawk Problems

    I have two roosters, several gooses, and yet the hawk tries and succeeds most of the time. I have a few places to have them hide but it is still frustrating. @ChattyChickens4Life

    Hoarse voice and beak open

    Sounds like she could have something stuck in her throat. Try massaging the chickens throat to feel if there is anything in there. I have had this happen to me before and this was the problem for me.

    Review by '' on item 'Brahma'

    A very hardy dual purpose bird that does it all for you. It can be raised for meat and egg production. They can get heavy real quick but not as fast as per say broilers for meat. The egg production is decent but it is not for just solely making eggs. The bird can stand up to all weather but...

    Gender Please

    Feathers look a little under developed to be a female, I am sorry. I do believe this is a male.

    Pine Shavings Question

    In my opinion I would get a compost barrel to start the compost process without just plainly dumping it directly on the bushes. It would help prevent the ants possibly eating your bushes.
