    Bald Tummy?

    Is she a broad breasted type? They can get bald tummies from sitting on the ground. If that is the case, about all you can do is make sure she has lots of bedding where she sleeps. ~~~ Yes she is. Thank you very much, Frosty! I'll do that and see if she gets better!

    Bald Tummy?

    Hi there. I have a turkey and I noticed tonight when I was putting her in her coop that her tummy was bald. It's extremely cold outside and I've already separated her so a wound in her shoulder could heal without my chickens pecking on it. I don't have any other turkeys in there with her and...

    Wounded shoulder....

    By the way. I forgot to add but he's never actually been by himself .... ever. So I'm not sure if it would be good to be alone for him and its been getting cold at night. He has a dog house with straw in it but.... I don't know.

    Wounded shoulder....

    Hi there. So my turkey is about 6 or so months old and had gotten a small wound on his shoulder. I've been putting bluecoat on it but my chickens (I have him in the same coop as them) have still been pecking it. It has gotten a lot worst so I separated him but he is EXTREMELY unhappy about it...

    may need to buy chicks, breed advice wanted

    I have 22 RIR's . They are suppose t lay enough (only have one laying at the moment) and they are good mamas. But they are aggressive in some cases, I do have about 3 that didn't like it at all when I tried to introduce the new chicks to them but the rest of them seem to like them. We did get...

    What do you collect your eggs in?

    At the moment I only have one of my 16 laying but they others are close to it. I've just taken one of my old easter baskets and glued some stuffing on the bottom and around the edges then put some shreds of fabric in it (for looks if nothing else lol) and I don't think it will break the eggs or...

    I need help Introducing!!!!

    I have a big box I made out of wood in there. Origanally I made it for my older ones for when they were younger to sleep in but now I close the door and my babies can get in through a space in the back of it. It doesn't seem to help much though because I can't just stick my turkey in there...

    i have question : why wont my hen get off the nest?

    She's probably a broody. But if the hen is older, just remember that egg laying does take a lot out of a chicken (figuratively and literally lol).

    Time to put them out?

    It has some netting stuff over half of it and scraps of fabric I found swen on most of the other side but U left a whole so they could see and so the heat lamp would go in. They jump through the hole. -.- They only seem to jump out when I'm in here though so I just put them back in.

    Time to put them out?

    Quote: Please don't put the chicks outside with 4.5-month old pullets! Chickens should be as close to the same size as possible before they're introduced to one another. The older birds might very well kill your chicks. But the one that came in was really nice to them and the other ones are...
