    HELP: Chicks Sneezing and Dying

    I'm going to explain what is going on as thoroughly as possible so this might be long. On Thursday (4/14) I bought 3 turkeys and 5 chicks (3 were barred rock) from Rural King. The next day (Friday), one of the turkeys was dead. I noticed this turkey was smaller and a little less active than the...

    Is my chicken dying?

    Since last night her head slowly rises slightly upward while she's at rest. This morning she can't stand on her own. She falls and lays down. I had to take her out of the nesting box she sleeps in. She hasn't been interested in food except like 2 bites of egg the past 2 days. But she drank...

    PLEASE HELP TURKEYS GASPING FOR AIR

    I’ve had problems with humidity in the incubator but overall it hasn’t been too bad until now. 9 out of 11 turkeys hatched fine but I have two that are gasping for air, every time they breathe it makes a sticking popping sound which I guess means they have some sort of fluid in their lungs. I’m...
