    Mini-Classic Turkey Possibly Dying

    Around two or three years ago we bought two mini-classic turkeys with plans to eat them for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately that did not work out, and we ended up keeping them. Around a year ago one of the turkeys died from sour crop due to eating orchard grass, but we still have the second...

For the past week, one of the healthy birds has been laying on top of her, wings and tail completely spread out to cover her. They are the same age and have been raised together since day one. I’ve attached...

    Egg-bound? Sick?

    So my hen is almost 2 years old. She's normally an active runner and a healthy layer. She hasn't been moving much for the past day and a half and there's definitely an egg in there that she hasn't laid. I've tried all the usual things for an egg-bound hen. We've done a warm Epsom salt soak...
