    Frostbite?

    I was wondering if adult Toms get frostbite on their faces and snoods in the winter. It's been in the 10s this week and in the negatives at night (Fahrenheit). I'm worried that my tom's face will get too cold. This morning the tip of his snood was white but it turned red after a few minutes. Any...

    Hatching egg looks the same after 17 hours!?

    Just out of curiosity, what breed are you hatching? None of my hens have ever gone broody this early in the year.

    The change in incubation may effect their hatching. If it's the 21st day I wouldn't worry at all.

    Hatching egg looks the same after 17 hours!?

    If the other chicks haven't hatched yet, I wouldn't worry at all. How many days have they been in the incubator? I always give my chicks 24 days in the incubator: 18 being turned, 3 in lockdown, and 3 for hatching

    Have they hatched?

    Hatching egg looks the same after 17 hours!?

    It's better off for the chick if you just leave it alone. I had a chick last spring that needed 48 hours and it came out just fine. Just keep the humidity high and it should be fine. Are there any other chicks in the incubator? Can you see the chicks beak? If it is moving/opening and closing...

    Frostbite

    I am located in New England and recently it has been dropping below 10 degrees at night. My white leghorn rooster (hatched this spring) has been getting very bad frostbite on his comb. Being leghorns, they have very large combs. Yesterday when I was checking on the flock I noticed he was...

    New Geese

    Recently I've been looking into getting another pair of geese. I currently have 2 pairs of Toulouse geese. I wanted to get a different breed that is very friendly and good for many things. Any suggestions? I live in New England and it gets pretty cold. Any help is appreciated.

    Runaway Turkey

    I found him this morning. He was on the next street over. He was calling for the other turkeys. He looks unharmed. Thanks for all the help

    Need help!!!

    The chick probably imprinted on you. I've had some waterfowl that did the same. I'd take all the chicks away from the hen and put them in a brooder that way they'd be more friendly when they get older and keep the runt company. You can also keep an eye on them.

    Runaway Turkey

    I'm not sure what breed it was. He was a big dog, probably around 50 pounds. I know for sure it didn't get him because he flew into the trees and the dog lost interest. It's possible one of the other neighbors' dogs could've got it.

    Runaway Turkey

    At about sundown a neighbor's dog got loose and chased some of my turkeys into a nearby woods. Two of the 3 came back within thirty mins. The last one hasn't come back for 4-5 hours. I went out looking for him for an hour and 30 mins before I decided to look again in the morning. I live in a set...

    Turkey with cracked beak

    I just worry that the scent of the glue will negatively effect her because it will be so close to her nostrils.

    Turkey with cracked beak

    Yes, all of my goats, dogs, cats, and other animals go to the same vet. I have been seeing them for the last 5 years or so
