I need urgent help, this turkey poult has the solid dark lump thing with a hole in it. The poult is extremely weak, I have done everything possible, and I’m prositive this poult will not make it through the night. Can anyone tell me what this lump is? It concerns me.
I called in and they basically said I should have left it to die and let nature take its own path. I did not feel right doing that, it would have for sure died that night. Ive been force feeding her little pieces of scrambled eggs and electrolyte water , and I will take her outside as much as I...
It is a wild turkey, we don’t typically have farm animals around here and it definitely has the patterns and eyes of a wild turkey. I feel kind of hepless now. It stopped drinking, I will scramble some eggs and try to get it to eat, I don’t know what to do if it won’t.
Thank you so much, I will put marbles in the water. For anyone else, it seems a little lethargic? I don’t know if that’s because it’s late and it’s tired, but it could be weak too I don’t know the difference.
I need help fast. I was on a walk in the suburb and I saw a shivering little ball of fluff. Turns out, it’s an abandoned little turkey baby that hadn’t been able to jump over the curb. It’s only a day old, and I raised chicks so I have what I think is all the equipment I need. I’ve just read...
If your chicken has been wormed, and it digests a worm type it can still get worms. Could you post a picture of the white string? It would be helpful to identify it.
Thank you so much! The holes are pretty much permanent, because live next to a marsh with tons of foxes and coyote everywhere, and my chickens are pets. There is a fence around the coop and a chicken door into the coop. Thank you for the help, and @unhitched I will look into the device. If I...
Okay, I just posted a thread about squirrels but I’m a little stressed about my cuckoo Marans, Comet. Normally, she would wander wander away from me, so I can slightly pet her, but not for long. So, I did some research and I was pretty confident she had sour crop. I live in a suburban area, so...
I was just wondering, how does everyone keep squirrels and rodents out of the coop? I have 8 chickens, and I’m not sure if squirrels bring diseases but I just don’t want them eating the feed. I’ve seen them in the yard and scaling the walls of the coop. I hope they won’t attack me. What do I do...
Just wondering, what are your birds favorite treats? I gave my chooks tomatoes for th first time yesterday, and MAN they went crazy! They also love mealworms. Anything else I should try feeding them? Favorite duck or turkey treats? I don’t know if anyone gives turkeys treats I’m still new to...
