One of my black Spanish turkey hen is getting some moderate scratches on a bald patch under her wing. I noticed her "crying" as the tom was mating her, which was unusual. I had a close look at her and found the wounds. I have only a trio of turkeys and do not want to separate the tom so does...
I ordered a bottle of Tylan 50 from Jeffers for my poultry first aid kit. It arrived yesterday and I noticed its expiration date is 01/2016 which is...less than a year! Does Tylan just have a short shelf life or should I email Jeffers and ask for a different bottle?
I am clueless. I've scoured Google. Nothing!
This is regarding a roof to keep rain water out of the pen as I already have heavy gauge welded wire attached to keep predators out. I have been using a tarp for a few months. I have to replace it every couple months. Every time it rains, I have to...
I am looking for bantam cochin pullets of good type, preferably in Florida. Unique colors are preferred (mottled, silver penciled, gold laced, silver laced, etc etc. etc). If outside of Florida, I would consider having them shipped especially if you are NPIP. PM me or email...

Which size would fit a guinea fowl properly? Medium? Large?
I give my quail Sav-A-Chick in their water several times a week. I try to do SAC water one day then regular water the other & so forth. Now that they are no longer babies, is SAC in the water necessary or are there any benefits of giving it to healthy adult quail, for future reference?
Here is...
I don't know how many have had a chance to see bobs in the wild or if anyone cares to but here are a few of my photos. First one of the pairs was taken in a cattle pasture we often visit for wildlife photography (it is also a wildlife management area). The other 4 are from a rogue male that hung...
I just heard the sweetest little tune from one of my bobs. It wasn't the 'bo bob white' call but more like a melodic little whistle tune. Kind of like 'doo doo dododo dododo dododo. doo doo dododo dododo dododooo'. Is that a common vocalization? Man they're starting to mature so quickly! I...
I try to handle my bob youngins at least once a week, I only have 5. They totally flee when I stick my hand in their temporary cage. I don't want them to fear me, though. I know this may be something I can do nothing about & I don't want to purposefully stress them but sometimes I just get this...
