    5 day old poult listless

    I have 15 poults that are 5 days old. All but one appear to be in excellent health. The one is just laying on the floor swaying back and forth. I cannot get it to eat or drink. Should I seperate it from the others to prevent it infecting the others? Other sites tell me to cull it. Any advice...

    Midget White Poult Weights

    Hi. I have three three-week-old Midget White Turkey poults I hatched Dec. 13-15. They now weigh 314, 292, and 234 grams. I am not sure which hatched on what date.

    Hi guys, it's been a few weeks since I brought home Edison and Mayo. They get along with the chickens no problem and now they seem to know who I am when I come into the enclosed run. Problem is, they still won't greet me, come to feed on treats near me and especially be held. They scream and...

    New poults absolutely hate me

    Hi! I picked up two poults today that are 10 weeks old. They were handled daily by my seller who had an amazing setup and was very helpful. I brought them home, introduced them to my six chicken hens, led them to their new house just for them, and attempted to hold them. They screamed bloody...

    Unintended Turkey Newby...

    I went into our local feed store for a new chicken waterer last night, and somehow found myself walking out the door with two unknown rare breed turkey poults.
