We have a pair of black Spanish turkeys. The boy has decided he wants to mate with humans.... biting, trying to mount our legs, etc. He's big too. This turned into just pure aggression. He attacks me every time I go outside now. If I grab him and push him away from me, as soon as I let go he...

My four year old serama suddenly stopped being able to walk a week ago. She pushes herself backward and her legs go out infront of her. She's never done this before, I've had her ever since she hatched. I'm feeding her 1cc poultry cell, 200IU vitamin E and Omega egg maker daily. She is...

I have a pet serama rooster, he's 7 months old. He's lived a really spoiled life as an indoor/outdoor rooster. He used to be my alarm clock every morning until his health started declining. 6 weeks ago, he started limping a little. I figured he may have sprained something so I was really...

I have 6 roosters that I want to start a bachelor pad for. I"ve never done this before. They are seramas. They are pretty mean (even to their hens), so I wanted to try a bachelor pad to get them out of their individual cages. I have a few questions I'd love to see if I can get answered.. : 1...

I have seramas (very small bantams) that can't be outside during the winter. We just moved across the country to a colder climate so it's been 30's and 40's outside. All of my babies are in our garage with the heater going. I always lived in city limits so I kept just hens for years. As soon as...

My chickens suddenly came down with a sickness. They have rumbling when they breathe (mucous in their lungs), they gasp for air and are sneezing. I'm really concerned. It came on very fast, like within 24 hours they went from showing no symptoms to all of this. I have trimethoprim/sulfa powder...

This chick is smaller than the rest, has a single comb, and a lot more white coming in on her feathers. She was bought as a blue laced gold wyandotte. Does she look like a blue laced gold wyandotte? The other girls have walnut combs, muted colors, and are a lot bigger than her. Here's a picture...

I have a mommy hen with three 4 week old baby chicks. Woke up today to one of the chicks attacking the other two, bloody combs and all. The culprit was taken out and put in the heated brooder with my large wyandotte chicks in hopes to quell his attitude. He saw his first victim and attacked...

I already ate one tonight and remembered how they feasted on a puppy pad when I had them in a travel carrier while cleaning their cage. It's been a FULL 6 days since then and have had full bellies every day with their normal quail feed. I have horrible anxiety and I'm up wondering if it's fine...

My two 1.5 yr old hens came down with sudden bloody stool. I immediately put them on endocox (toltrazuril). They are NOT drinking the water that it is in! I am using the correct dosage (1 tsp per gallon) and I'm mixing it with a tad bit of apple cider vinegar. I used this same dosage just weeks...

I woke up this morning to my two pet chickens pooping straight blood! Help?! They've never done this before, it looks too severe and sudden for just coccidia since they have not been pooping blood. Just this morning I found a ton. Help! Any ideas? These are my pet chickens! Idk what to do, I...

First of all, thank you to anyone who has advice to share! I appreciate you! I have a brooder full of chicks ranging from 2 weeks to 5 weeks. My chicks are all very skinny, fluffed up, and lethargic. They are not wanting to play or do anything but sleep. Their tail is drooping down and they act...

My serama chick is breathing hard and fast. I think she's been doing this ever since she was born about a week ago - but today seems like it's more labored. Any idea what's wrong with her? What should I do for her? I put some poultry cell in her water. Poops from her and her siblings are...

I hatched out some chicks yesterday and today. They are doing great and they are in a warm brooder. I made the mistake of holding one of the chicks for too long today and now it thinks I'm it's mother. It won't stop peeping for me. It's been a couple hours of on and off peeps from JUST that...

I'm looking for breeders to buy eggs from! (And possibly chicks/adults if available) I'm in Ohio but happy to pay for shipping. Looking for frizzle serama eggs or silkied serama eggs. I would absolutely consider smooth feathered eggs too if the parents are nice quality! :) I already bought...

Looking for more info on Japanese bantam breeders that sell chicks/eggs. Does anyone know of good sources? Thanks so much in advance!

I have a closed, disease free flock. They are like my little babies. I want to add a few more chicks from cackle hatchery, but I'm concerned that it would introduce disease. Thoughts on this? I emailed, and it looks like they don't generally test unless they are testing for AI and Salmonella...

My little silkied serama has been showing concerning signs. I found her today with her head tucked into her wing and not responding when I called out to her. I grabbed her and brought her inside. The symptoms she's showing currently: - shaking head tilted to one side - hunched over -fluffed up...

I have a little 17 week old Serama pullet that I just got recently. 2 weeks into her quarantine (I'm SO glad I quarantined her!) , she started pooping blood. 5 days ago I started dosing her out with Corid to treat it like Coccidia. She has a lot more energy and her poops are less "diarrhea"...

I have a little serama hen named Mira. Today I went outside and saw her with a pale comb, open beak and her eyes were closed. I grabbed her. I started listening to her breathing. She inhaled, exhaled, inhaled 10%, and didn't inhale the rest of the way. She started shaking her whole body, so I...
