I have a flock of turkeys, 2 brothers are the Tom’s, 1 of them had a severe mite infestation, no one else had mites but I treated everyone. My problem Tom has been mite free for 2 weeks now but he is just becoming more and more lethargic. I see zero wounds, none of the other turkeys show any...
Hi everyone! First time poster!
This was my first winter with my flock. Six Plymouth blue rocks(one is a rooster) and two buff orpingtons. They laid regularly and production wasn’t super impacted and got 3-5 eggs daily. Late winter I started to notice that one of the girls was consistently...
I’ve had two ganders for about four years now and they’re great. But this summer they started looking off. They are super underweight and their beaks turn white. For the beaks I assumed it was calcium and added powder to their corn. Which helped but sometimes they still go white. I’ve given...
Hi, recently I lost a hen and I just had one left. She got very sad and would not eat (I've since gotten two more birds and she is eating a bit more now) and she is only about 6lbs. Shes a silver laced buff orpington which I read should be 10-12+ lbs. What can I give her to make her gain some...

What should I treat first? Worms or coccidia?
We had devastating flooding, it brought in a bunch of crap. I noticed some thinner chickens today and thought I should treat them to be safe.
I have corid(liquid) and...
Butchered this corn x yesterday, as I was plucking I noticed its very strange skin! It looks like different colored patches but it was actually more like it was patches of super thin skin that I could see through. And visible thin veins. I skinned it and the meat seems fine but I'd like to know...
I am lost! How can I save my pullets? I posted a couple of weeks ago that I found one pullet very thin and wobbly . She couldn't really stand. I had already treated all with Corid since I had seen some strange pink droppings. I isolated her right away We tried to get her to eat and gave her...
Edie couldn't walk this morning and she is very thin. She is about 14 weeks old I think. She is housed with three other pullets. I though some poop looked suspect, so I treated their water with Corid (5 days strong dose, 5 days the preventive dose). I couldn't tell who was the sick one because...
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site. We bought 6 chickens 3 months ago who were already laying and are about 2-3 years old. I think.. I free range them in our fenced in back yard, they have about an acre to roam on with plenty of shrubs, bushes and trees to forage through. I feed them oyster...
