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 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...

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...

I have 8 chickens as seen in my signature,and my Wyandotte was picking on everyone, my ameraucana in particular. She is in a cage the size of the ones in the fairs, and the first day I thought she might hurt herself so I made improvements. She was at the top of the pecking order, and she’s been...

Just to start you off easy, this is a two part thread. I have 8 birds as seen in my signature. My silver laced Wyandotte is the lead of the p pecking order, and she picks on everyone except my Rhode Island Red, and she especially picks on my Ameraucana. I am going to separate her from the flock...

When chickens first start laying, are their first 2-3 miscolored? I found my first egg in the nesting box 2 days ago (first with shell) and I just assumed it was my RIR because she is closest to point of lay (I thought) so I posted this picture and some suggested it my speckled Sussex that laid...

This is my first time raising chickens and.... I GOT MY FIRST EGG!!!!!!!! I’m super eggcited, and even though I know the first few are inedible, I’m still psyched! My Rhode Island Red laid the egg, she had all the signs and she was squatting and checking out the boxes. Unfortunately I am out of...

I have 8 chickens as in my signature, born March 5. They will officially be 5 months old in a few day but they are sooooo small! I don’t know if this is an issue that can be solved, but it’s just strange to me. I took them off of starter feed at 18 weeks exactly. 2 of them are squatting, but is...

i have a silver laced Wyandotte who is 3 days away from 5 months old. She is being very loud and constantly squawking and wandering around never staying still. Her comb and wattle just turned deep bright red. I just read about squating so I put my hand out, and she squared all three times I...

i think my light brown leghorn is blind in one eye. Both eyes look the same, no difference, but when I hold out 1 mealworm, she misses every time. If I hold out a small handful she can get one, but she still has trouble. She is 4 months old. Any other things that it could be? I’m just worried...

I think my CM is being picked on a lot. We got her as an 8 week old hen, and she was smooth and her feathers were perfect, but now she’s 16 weeks old, and her feathers look shredded a little. Is this stress, being picked on, or just molting? This is on her tail-end.

What is your chicken coop name? I was just wondering what you all called yours. Mine is called the chick-inn

Is it normal for a Rhode Island Red to have black feathers in the tail for wings? I haven’t found anything about this online. She is only Ten weeks old.

i bought a now 5 week old chicken that the farm store had sexed as a Pullets, and as a Cuckoo Marans, but now that I look closer, she looks a lot like a rooster Barred Rock. She doesn’t have a yellow beak and legs though, which throws me off. When she was a chick, she was pitch black and yellow...

I am selling 9 6-week old Buff Orpingtons, 4 Roosters and 5 Pullets. They are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and they sell $15 dollars for a Rooster, $20 for a hen. If you just want the roosters it will be $60, and $95 for just the hens or $150 for the whole bunch-cash only. All of them are...

I ordered a silver laced Wyandotte and it arrived 4 weeks ago yesterday. I was looking at her comb, because I ordered a hen, but it’s growing very quickly, and it has a very red comb. It also has just one spike when I read they are supposed to have a rose comb-I’m a beginner at raising chickens...
