I have also posted under Turkey - but I need to pick everyone's brains. He had some sort of respiratory problem, gave antibiotics and seems much better, but he can't stand up without weaving everywhere and then falling over or just going head over heals and ending up upside down. I don't know...
Same turkey - Tom - that I have posted on before. Now he seems healthy - not eating, but I am shoving it in him lol. Now he looks OK, no respiratory probs, but he can't walk. Every time he tries to walk, he acts like he has had way too much to drink. Falls over and if he does manage to get...
Any and all help on incubating these eggs would be welcome. This is my first time and I understand that it is quite different than other ducks and/or chicken eggs.
