I want to thank you for your help. The little ones seem to be doing well, but if something were to happen, then I'll update.

At first I had been using a metal container for water, but it was deep enough. For the food I had been using a very hard plastic, which they would peck at. After the first bird had the incident, I changed the containers to both a soft plastic material, sour cream containers. Once I changed it...

Not too long ago I heard someone say that the farm I got the turkey's from debeaks them, but this looks like a break to me, and a different person also mentioned that this didn't look like debeaking.

Hi! Hi! Yesterday when I returned home in the afternoon, I discovered that one of my week old turkeys had a "pushed in" beak, because the top half of his beak for so much smaller now. After reading other articles and online searches about beaks, all I can think is that the tip came off, but I'm...

I'm having somewhat of the same issue. Today when I came home I discovered that one of my poults had a pushed in beak. Little did I know that the tip had come off, and now looking in the brooder I see that there is another little turkey that's having the same problem. Is this injury too far up...

Thank you. I appreciate the help. :)

I appreciate all of your help so far.

I've got it set on a crate at the moment. It's got holes on the bottom? I didn't even realize that. I'm not sure it would do anything by tipping it. Do you think it be better to attempt this tomorrow instead, as it's almost midnight. I'd rather do this during daylight hours, so I can see what...

I've got a Farm Innovator 4250. The water modules are right below the egg turner, and then underneath a metal grate, so it would be difficult, but I'd need to do it fairly quickly.

Thank you, I appreciate your response. I'm pretty worried that this isn't going to go well.

I've had my eggs in the incubator for two days now, and the humidity reads at 62%. The manual says to have the eggs in humidity 50-60 for the majority of the incubation period, and then 55-65% during lockdown. Is this too high or are the eggs going to be fine? The past few days the humidity has...

I've got a question, if the eggs were just a few days apart, say three or four, from the time they're put in the incubator, would that be alright?

Update: Little Marzia pulled through. I've been busy the past couple weeks, with a week long trip to Puerto Rico, and getting myself set up with an incubator and eggs. Thank you for your help.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Tonight she seems to be doing a little better, so I'm hoping she'll be better.

Her first birthday was Tuesday, so a year exactly. Her poop has been a quite watery with some lime green a few days ago. Last night it was very very clear with dark green specks, but today when I was clipping her nails, she pooped on the newspaper (It was a very smelly one) and it was a runny...

Earlier I checked for Sour and Impacted crop, neither of which. The crop was a little squishy, but I can't rule out the possibility that it was from the very watery mash I gave her before around 4. I'll be checking again in the morning because there hasn't been a change. She isn't egg-bound...

I've got a sick Hamburg. She's been like this for almost two weeks now, but she doesn't move much from the spot she is in, and she would eat when I'd offer it, but never by herself, same with water. She stays alert though, watching me with her eyes, moving her head. While outside she would puff...

Thank you, this was quite helpful!

Is there a way to tell if my eggs that I bring in from my coop are fertile? I plan to order some eggs in the next week or so, but I'd like to throw in some eggs from my own coop so I can see what kind of cross I get. Is there anyway to distinguish fertility before putting the eggs in the...

I'm sorry to hear that, how is she doing now?
