    Poult brooder box build

    We built this brooder box mainly for poults, (7’x4’) but will definitely be using it for chicks, keets and sometimes ducklings if hatch times work out. We used 3 pcs of plywood, 8 2x4x8, and 3 1x4x8 and hardware mesh. It’s under cover so none of it is treated wood but we might stain the outside...

    Beware of Rat Snakes **GRAPHIC IMAGES**

    Hey everyone. I'm posting this as a warning about large rat snakes, which are commonly regarded as helpful to keep around for pest control. We recently had seen several in our coops--one of them over 5 feet long--and caught/released them thinking they were harmless (despite the egg casualty) and...

    Sick Poult

    Hi - I have a poult that is vomiting when picked up, crying as it scurries around the brooder box, won’t lay down and rest like the others, and is resting bent over v. Laying down. Any idea what is wrong?

    Can you give turkeys corid and antibiotcs in yhe same water?

    I have 3 poults and I've seen bloody poop, so I started giving them corid. But 2 of them are sneezing a lot, have discharge coming from their nose so I'm thinking a respiratory infection. Can I also add antibiotics to their water with the corid? Thanks!

    Blood in turkey poop? Coccidiosis? Picture

    Im not sure if this is normal, not every poop looks like that. Some look completely normal. Could it just be something they ate or is that blood? None of them act sick. They are very active. I've been giving them ACV and corid. Does it look like coccidiosis? If anyone knows what's causing this...

    Wk old poult constantly pacing and chirping loud

    I bought 4 midgit whites on Friday and by Sunday 3 died. Not sure why, brooder is 95 to 100 degrees, with plenty of room to get away from the heat, they were eating and drinking. Anyway I have one left and he, I think it is a Tom, paces his brooder and chirps super loud he will do it for hours...

    Hello. Yesterday at a poultry swap, I was lucky enough to find someone selling some beautiful Chocolate Turkey poults and Sweetgrass Turkey poults. I couldn't resist and picked up 2, one of each. They are being raised in a brooder in my room next to me at my desk. The first day I was afraid...

    Adult turkeys peck at poult when introduced

    At the moment we have a tom and two hens. One of our hens somehow have made a nest outside and it was too late when we discovered it. She had 15 eggs from which 11 hatched. Unfortunately, we realised too late that it was way too cold for them. They hatched in December and it kept raining- they...

    Potential brain damage from hypothermia? Please help diagnose this Turkey!

    My bird Meatball is a 4-month-old heritage turkey hen. She's a good size and is very feisty, but this morning she fell off the coop and got stuck in near-freezing mud. We found her likely within two hours (I was not awake when it happened) kicking her legs in a pinwheel unable to get up. We...

    New turkey raising gender question.

    We got turkeys a short while ago, and may be keeping a breeding pair or two. But we dont know how to tell genders, nor when you can tell. How old do they need to be before we can tell, and what are the differences between and adolescent male and female??

    You Guys Seriously Aren't Gonna Believe It.. (Phyllis the Turkey pt1)

    So I'd like to preface things with the statement that we ARE getting a permit and are not breaking any laws here in Ohio. Please be kind. We went into this led by our hearts, as we usually are, and we are remedying things as quickly as we can. Now, onto the story.. -- It was a casual day for me...

    This is Luca, our Bourbon Red

    Luca hatched approx. May 4th-7th. She (I think she's a she) is a very pale Bourbon Red poult. We bought 3, but 2 died. The other two were very dark brown, and Luca was white. This picture is a few days old, as we have moved her to a large outdoor brooder-type pen.

    HELP my Turkey poult's leg looks broken!

    One of my 8week old Turkey poult's was fine one day and looked like this. Is this the splay leg that I hear about or is it broken? Is he salvageable? I hate to have to cull him so young. Should I splint it or tape the legs together? I don't think nutrition is the issue. They are getting a 23%...
