    Turkey poult acts drunk

    We have 3 newly hatched turkeys and one of them acts drunk and keeps falling on its back. I figure the problem could easily be like that of a chick so I thought I'd post here to see if anybody could help. It seems healthy other than that and it keeps flopping around trying to right itself and...

    HOOSIERS Only - INDIANA - Ru1?

    Does anybody in Northern Indiana have a cayuga for sale? Not sure if gender matters. A friend's daughter's cayuga drake got hit last night. I am also thinking I might be looking for Bourbon Red turkey hens if anybody knows where I can find some.

    Why is my rooster's comb shrinking? PLEASE help he's getting worse.

    Our buff orpington rooster's comb is smaller than it was and not as bright in color. Otherwise he seems healthy and alert. Does anybody know why this could be happening?He is about 7 mo. old, Compare his to the hen on the left and him on the right. Look how big his comb was a couple...

    Slaughtering Old Hens

    Personally, I don't think the skin is worth the effort. But I've never done older birds.

    Clean coop, not laying

    They have been molting but I think they're pretty much done. And our ducks aren't laying either. We should be getting about a dozen chicken and 7 duck eggs daily but we are getting 2-3 eggs for each a day. It wouldn't stress me but people want eggs finally and now they aren't laying.:(

    Clean coop, not laying

    I just wondered if doing a major coop clean would stress chickens so they wouldn't lay for a while?

    egg turkeys

    So, it is October. Our new bourbon red just laid her first egg since we got her (she was laying before we bought her). We don't know how often she will lay but (and we have a Tom) what are the chances that her eggs are fertile? And can I incubate them this time of the year?

    Are turkeys seasonal breeders?

    The guy we got him from said he was from last year's hatch. Which puts him well over a year old.

    Are turkeys seasonal breeders?

    We recently got a pair of bourbon reds for breeding. I was under the impression the hen would only lay in the spring? But she laid an egg today. Then would this egg be fertile or do they just breed in the spring?

    duck with sores

    Thanks for your concern. Those marks couldn't be from a dog because she has been spending her days in a large fenced in area with chickens. Our dogs are the only ones around her and she intimidates them. Her main issue now is balance. Whatever happened to cause her to quit walking is taking...

    I don't need the guineas, but I was excited to see that you are from Warren. I live north of Markle. We're practically neighbors.

    duck with sores

    Thanks! It seems that whatever we have done for her has helped because her foot is essentially healed. She will have to be kept apart from the rest of the ducks at night so that, if/when she starts laying again we will not be able to sell her eggs. Hopefully, she will eventually be able to...

    duck with sores

    When I checked your webpage/website it said that baytril is used to treat bumblefoot. I wonder if we'd be better to give her the medicine orally. I didn't know we could do that. I have a feeling that the sores are from the shots. I will start giving her kefir in the morning and try to get...

    duck with sores

    Before we started dealing with her bumblefoot (she had 4, 2 on each foot), I tried researching which antibiotics to use, but the information is so hard to find. I know I posted on my FB page what the first antibiotic we gave her, but for the life of me I can't find it. The first antibiotic is...
