. I just came home tonight to find my turkey poult splattered in the road. He must have flown over the fence after it got dark and gotten lost and ended up in the road. I was really trying to keep him alive...

I'm so so sorry for your loss

@dheltzel the first poult has hatched and is from your eggs. Looks like a mottled black

feed her scrambled eggs and give her electrolytes in her water....any other symptoms???

No the only other thing is she has the runs.

Great !!
I really like the Mottled Blacks the best of all the colors I have. Very striking birds, even more so as they get older.

No problem eating duck , qail, and chicken eggs, goose egg only.

My neighbor had a houseguest who was allergic to duck eggs, and of course they own ducks. We just swapped eggs so they had chicken eggs on hand for her when needed.

I'm sorry that happened, but your life is richer for having had them. I suppose from now on you should stick with chicken eggs when your hen goes broody.
Turkeys are different. I have a stubbornly broody turkey hen and while I'd so like to see her leading around a group of youngin's, I'm pretty sure she'd make a terrible mother. She is rather charmingly "stupid", if you know what I mean. 

I'm so so sorry for your loss

Thanks guys. I would like to try turkeys again in the future, but when I have more room to let them roam. . Yep, chicken eggs for my next broody.

Hay, are there any vets on here?
I have a 2 month old chick that is just laying on her side she can't stand up. I checked for broken bones none but she feels thin she made it through the night but just barely. Is there anything I can do or should I just end the suffering? Any advice will be appreciated.

No the only other thing is she has the runs.

In not a very and very rarely test my birds, but am overload of worms is possible. Not sure if it could be cocci at that age.

I have the perfect eggs for you to give to your broody next time she get in the mood for mothering -- guineas !!

Just kidding, it's a special kind of insanity that afflicts people with guineas.

I'm sure to have something for her to hatch whenever she is ready.

I just got some pics of our Pomeranian geese for a craigslist ad and decided to share them here. If anyone's in NEPA and interested in goose hatching eggs or eating eggs and me a PM. I threw some in the incubator with some Khaki Campbell duck eggs last week and they're all going strong and will hopefully hatch April 14-17.

Impressive! Glad you did share the pictures, I had never heard of pomeranian geese, are they primarily for eggs or are they dual purpose?
