    Rooster suddenly can't walk

    I used a mite powder that contains diatomaceous earth. We have another young rooster that's only a couple of months old. I have not dewormed him. But I am going to. I will go look in the coop to see how his poop looked from last night. He is currently in our hospital pen which is very small...

    Rooster suddenly can't walk

    I'm not sure his age, he was given to us 2 years ago by a friend. I am also not sure if he was vaccinated but will check with my friend to see. I looked him over and he did have some mites so I treated him for that yesterday. He is not eating enough to fill his crop during the day...

    Rooster suddenly can't walk

    Our prized rooster suddenly seems to have gone lame. He can barely stand and just falls over when he tries to walk. We moved him to another coop by himself and gave him vitamins and antibiotics. That was 2 days ago and he seems to be getting worse. I have checked his legs and they seem to be...

    Egg laying problem!!!

    I have checked for external parasite and worms. No signs that I could see. I have looked high and low for a hiding spot for eggs with no avail. I thought about a mouse or rat, so, I started going out every few minutes today to check and see and only 3 went in to lay today. I wondered if they...

    Egg laying problem!!!

    My hens have started acting weird! They have been on the decline as far as egg production for several weeks. We felt like it may be because we had to remove the rooster around that time and had a hen that was removed and then re-introduced. Well, the decline wasn't terrible and we had been...

    We have raised chickens for a while now. We have learned a lot about their behavior. But, this is our first time raising turkeys. I have a question. They are 4 weeks old and we have 4 of them. There are 2 of them that drop their feathers and dance for the 2 other ones for lack of better...

    Hen pecking Rooster's comb

    I posted yesterday about this but I think I need to further explain the problem and see if someone could give me some advice. I should have been more specific. My hen constantly pecks my rooster's comb. He lets her do it. She has pecked the comb so much, it is battered and black. It gets...

    Hen pecking Rooster's comb

    We have a hen that is constantly pecking our rooster's comb to the point of bleeding. The Rooster is allowing her to do it. We put Pick No More on his comb this morning and that hen went straight to pecking it afterwards. I separated the hen this morning from the flock. I have been watching...

    Overdue egg

    Had an egg hatch on Wednesday. One egg was left and still hasn't hatched. I candled it this morning and the air sac seems to move and there is no movement of a chick that I can see. My question is, since the air sac seems detached and I don't see movement, should I remove this egg? I would...

    Hen Apron, hen's didn't lay today???

    Have any of you put aprons on your hens and they didn't lay after? Our girls are like clockwork. Never miss a day. I put aprons on them yesterday and all 3 of the ones I put the aprons on didn't lay today? I am guessing that's the culprit. Just wondering if anyone else had this problem and how...
