    Turkey Bumblefoot- not getting pus/kernel out

    Tina, our 8 month old white rescue turkey has bumblefoot! I know white breasted turkeys are meat birds and not meant to love long. Tina is doing great, free range, not overweight, good mobility beyond the bumblefoot. She is not even limping much, just slightly. For the past week and half...

    Duck with both leg lameness, Almost like Superman/Flying pose

    Good advice. Im reading that Gabapentin dose is 10mg/kg, so a 2 lb duck would get 10mg. Which would be a little less than a 10th of a 100mg capsule. It would definitely hard to divide it so small

    2 week old Chick Wheezing/Crackling & Now nasal discharge

    UPDATE It has been about a month since this post and things have resolved. I changed from the rubbermaid tub to a wire cage inside. With so many chicks, the amount of dust they made and kicked up made the air terrible. With the new cage, they have better air flow but still no drafts. Tried pine...

    Hope this finds everyone staying healthy during this crazy time. Two weeks ago we adopted 9 chicks. We got 4 Americana and 1 Red Sexlink from a local feed store. We also got 2 Fayumi & 2 Sumatra from Wilco. They were all vaccinated against Mericks, and less than a few days old. They have...

    Serama pullets or Cockrels?

    My little chickens always find good homes :-) I am lucky that I am outside city limits with the little Roos, that way I can take me time on finding their perfect homes.

    Prolapse Vent in older hen with difficultly breathing when reinserting vent

    Hello, I have a heartbreaking question that I would love to get advice on. My bantam hen is about 5 years old, one of my brooder mamas whose idea of a perfect life is to sit in her nest box all day. She is still laying and hasn't had any trouble before. Today I notice her vent was extremely...
