    Hurt leg

    Thank you for your response! She is about 5 months old and no she wasn’t vaccinated. I don’t think it was a deficiency, she is quite small for her age, I think it is just her genes because she eats just as much as the other chickens, so my guess is that she hurt her leg when one of my roosters...

    Hurt leg

    Hello everyone! I hope you all are staying healthy and safe. This morning I found my hen Evie struggling to walk. She was perfectly fine yesterday and is acting normally today despite her not being able to walk normally. She can still get around but it is quite clunky and she struggles. Her feet...

    Infected foot?

    When I grasped my fingers around her toe, she didn’t tighten it but it defintely didn’t seem as though she liked it. Any thoughts?

    Infected foot?

    No, I’m not completely sure that it is a scab, that’s just what it looked like to my untrained eye. It could quite easily have been crushed, though I’m not sure how, or necrotic. How can I help her, if I can?

    Infected foot?

    Hello everyone! This is not very urgent and will most likely pass in a couple of days, but I thought I would seek any advice in case it gets worse. I have 5 about two week old turkeys, and yesterday I noticed one had a scab on her foot (pictures below). It seemed to be bothering her and she kept...

    Introducing turkey to chickens

    Thank you for your help. I’m sorry it took so long to get back to you! Unfortunately the attack from the squirrel must have caught up with the little guy and he passed yesterday. The poor thing. Thank you again for your help! And yes he was a sweet little guy and has definitely convinced me to...

    Introducing turkey to chickens

    Yes it definitely has that dot, so it’s probably a turkey. I guess we will find out if it’s a boy or girl when it’s older. Unfortunately, skmehow a squirrel snuck into our garage and nearly killed the poor guy. I found him this morning all wet so I held him under a heating lamp until her dried...

    Introducing turkey to chickens

    Hello! I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe! Today we found a helpless little bird, who we think is a baby (maybe male but we aren’t sure) turkey pullet. (Pictures included below). My first question is whether or not that is a turkey, and if there is anyway to figure out it’s gender. My...

    Rasing a non-aggressive rooster.

    I currently have two 11 week old roosters, and they are quite the sweethearts. When they were baby chicks, when we got them, we thought they were hens so I, along with my family would hold them for a long time, and play and cuddle with them every day. Now, when I go outside and sit down, they...

    Infected sinus

    Thank you! No, she always holds her head like that even when she is awake. Is there anything I can do to help her neck? And thank you for the video about tube feeding!

    Infected sinus

    What does crop or tube feeding require? I think I will stick with the syringe if that is sort of like a procedure, just to minimize any risk of fatal errors, but if it’s easy I would definitely be open to it. She has recently started sleeping and standing with her her curled to the tight...

    Infected sinus

    Thank you! We happened to have a syringe laying around so I filled it up with a combination of food and water and I got one tiny squirt in her big, because she kept wiggling. I felt her crop and it defintely feels empty, sort of like a divot. I will try the syringe again tomorrow. Do you have...

    Infected sinus

    Ok I will try all of that. I’m sorry, I am not the most experienced chicken owner, what is a crop?

    Infected sinus

    Ok! I tried the wet food yesterday and I put her beak in it and held it up to her but she still won't eat. I guess there just isn't anything else I can do? I will try the scrambled eggs, as we don't have cat food or tun.

    Infected sinus

    Thank you, I will do that! She still wont eat...do you have any other strategies I could try?

    Infected sinus

    The only bad news about that is that I am no 99.99% sure she is blind in that eye. It is grey and milky, and I tried to test her eyes with a flash photo, and on her good eye, she blinked in response to the flash, but not on her bad eye. However, on a positive note, she seems a little more alive...
