Hi all,
I have an 8 month old Amerucana hen with an extremely swollen/bulbous eye. I actually posted about her when she was just a chick, as the issue was starting then. This is not an injury case. At a few days old, we noticed that her left eye was 'bugging' out a bit. I couldn't find...
Hi all,
My female turkey was hurt last night when our much larger tom (who I don't want mating with her, it was an accident they were together). She has a fairly large patch of skin (maybe 4x5") peeled open underneath her wing above her hip. It isn't a deep wound, but it's a large area...
Hello, I've tried looking for info here and everywhere, but I'm having no luck on finding treatment ideas for my chick. She is two weeks old, a blue ameracuana and aside from her one bulging eye, she seems completely fine. She is eating and drinking normally and zooming around the brooder with...
Hi all- this is not an emergency, since otherwise the chicken is in good health, but I'd really like to know what this growth is and if I need to do something about.
The hen is a barred rock, 4 years old. Aside from this growth, she seems perfectly healthy- lots of energy, eating and drinking...
Hi, all! I originally posted this in the Turkey section of the forum, but didn't have any luck with responses. I also haven't been able to find any resources on my turkey's condition anywhere online. I'm posting here with the hope that maybe someone has seen and dealt with this issue in...
I have a 7 month old female bronze turkey who has developed strange balance/walking/coordination issues. I've included a video. When she tries to walk, she almost falls forward on her toes, holds her tail up for balance and drops her wings to steady herself. When I brought her in to our screened...
Any thoughts on the breed of this 6-week-old pullet? She's from a hatchery (Meyer Hatchery) but was one of the 'assorted rare breeds' I added in at the last minute. I was sure she was either a Barred Rock or a Dominque, but I've never seen either with a feather crest like this. Picture is...
Hi everyone- any thoughts on how to resolve this would be appreciated!
I have a large mixed flocked (hens, two roosters, guineas and turkeys) that for the most part is extremely peaceful. I have separate coops for the chickens, guineas and turkeys, runs that can be opened and closed, an...
Hi again! This is my first year/experience with guineas and I so appreciate all the help I’ve received on this forum!
So- are guineas (especially the ladies) exceptionally loud during this time of year? Mine are 8 months and this will be my first breeding season with them. They seem to be much...
Any suggestions for what breed makes for the calmest, friendliest rooster? I have 34 girls and a single rooster right now. I'd like to add another rooster when I order chicks this spring, but I'm nervous. I had a Welsummer rooster that I raised from day one who turned extremely aggressive me at...
I keep my guineas (5- 2 males and 3 females, about 9 months old now) in one of our smaller chicken coops and it has seemed to work fine until now. The guineas go up to bed on their own and have always settled down as soon as it gets dark. The coop they are in is very secure and I lock them down...
Hi! I have 5 guineas that are about 6 mo. old. 3 females and 2 males. I think they’ve paired off. The odd girl out- Poe- is now constantly being chased away (especially by one of the other females) or left behind. I feel so bad for her and she makes such a racket when alone.
Do you think I need...
