I have a hen that I have been treating for about three weeks for what I believe is Egg Yolk Peritonitis. We have a farm several miles from us that is a group home for special needs adults. They raise a few hens for eggs and this is one of their chickens. The administrator contacted me and...

I have a pair of geese. The Female is an Embden, and the male is a Toulouse/Sebastapol cross. Squishy my female has been laying since late december. Yesterday we cleaned out the goose nest because it was starting to smell pretty bad. :( There were almost 30 eggs in the nest. Most of them were...

I posted yesterday on the guinea board but got no responses so I am posting here: I have a female Guinea that is approximately four months old that is very sick. I need some help to figure out what it could be and how to treat it. Approximately a week ago I went into the guinea pen and...

I have a female Guinea that is approximately four months old that is very sick. I need some help to figure out what it could be and how to treat it. Approximately a week ago I went into the guinea pen and found her very weak and unable to stand. When I picked her up I noticed that she was...

I have approximately forty barnyard chickens. They are all roughly 9 months to two years old and have never been wormed. Recently we have had a HUGE drop in egg production. I went from nearly two dozen eggs a day down to just getting 8. Four days ago one of my lakenvelder hens had a messy bottom...

These four chicks are twelve weeks old. As you can see there is one that is definitely smaller than the rest and has hardly any feathers. It eats fine, drinks fine, and poops fine but I noticed today that it's belly is swollen and seems bruised or black colored. I am not sure what to do with it...

I have about sixty keets I have hatched out this year from purchased eggs. I am trying to start my own breeding program for next year to sell keets. Our original plan was to build a LARGE pen and aviary and NOT free range these birds at all. I have four adult guineas now and I have had to...

I acquired a gosling a week ago from a woman who's husband was going to kill it because it could not walk. The lady told me on facebook that it could not walk and was having trouble with it's legs. It is approximately 3-4 weeks old. Obviously I could not let this happen so I agreed to take...

Yesterday I found my Bantam Easter Egger hen laying on her side in the pen. She could not stand up or walk at all. Just a few hours before she seemed just fine. I have brought her inside and she is propped in a donut made from a towel with a wee pad covering it. She does try to stand up from...

I have six nine week old baby turkeys in a four by eight brooder. They are seriously outgrowing it. We want to build them a pen this weekend so they can have some outside time. It has been in the 70's here during the day and gone down into the 50's at night. A look at our 14 day forecast shows...

I have six seven week old turkeys that are in a four by eight foot brooder. It's getting really cramped in there. At what age can they go outside in their coop without heat? I took them out today in 50 degree weather and they were shivering. I don't know why I thought that at six weeks they...

We purchased some slate guinea keets from a breeder back in October. I ordered seven of them and they arrived in excellent health and good condition. I raised them until 8 weeks old in a very large dog crate. Once they were old enough to be outside i moved them to an enclosed pen. Sometime...

Will this hurt my hatching? I just checked my calendar and tomorrow is day 25. That being said I just peeked in the incubator and one egg is already pipped! 4 others are internally pipped. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

When I went out to the coop this morning to let the chickens out I found one of my hens on the roost with her head all tucked in. She was fast asleep even with all of the commotion going on. So I picked her up and she did not struggle or make a sound. She woke up some and bokked at me but then...

I have 3 pekin females that I am not sure of age on. One of them today I noticed was laying by the water dish and her backside was in constant motion like she was straining to poop or something. I have not started to get any eggs yet from any of them. Do you think she might be getting ready to...

I have 5 20 week old Rio Grande turkeys. I have raised them since day one with my chickens and I actually think that they think they ARE chickens. About 5 days or so ago I noticed one of them was looking quite droopy. She was sitting by herself and not foraging with the others and seemed kind...

What is the least messy way to brood ducklings? I have them in a dog crate with a lamp and using wee pads as bedding but they make a terrible mess and i have to clean it several times a day. Any other suggestions? Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
