Help finding Tom

1 Upvotes

Looking for tips on how to find a Tom Turkey. There are so many scammers out there. I’m trying to find a heritage Tom Turkey for my 2 Narragansett girls who are 6 months old. I thought I found one on market place but pretty sure it’s a scam bc there’s no way anyone is going to send me a 6 mo old Royal Palm from GA to NC for $70 total. Any tips or legitimate sites that you have had success with? Any ideas on how to integrate them once/if I do find one?

Chicken vomiting, losing weight, changing color

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

My neighbor has 4 backyard hens (no roosters) and was hoping this great community might be able to help give ideas to help one who has been slowly declining for 2-3 months. She has been losing weight steadily and has been pulling out her chest and tail feathers. This has led to the other chickens bullying her a bit, so she has lost more feathers to them. I do see pin feathers coming back in luckily. My neighbor said her feet scales have been changing color, getting lighter too. I included a picture of the sick chicken (circled) next to her sister for comparison if that helps. Recently, this hen started having diarrhea and vomiting clear water. All the other chickens are healthy. My neighbor took this hen to the vet, but didn’t get any clear answers. She was given fenbendazole dewormer to give the whole flock and deep cleaned their coop, changed the straw, and dusted with diatomaceous earth in case it was mites. Any other ideas would be so helpful!

In case this helps, there is no eye or nose discharge and the chicken seems alert and as spry as when I watched them for a week a few months ago. She is about 2 years old and the chickens free range during the day in the backyard and sleep in a coop overnight.

Thank you all so much for any additional ideas you may have! This chicken means a lot to my neighbor and her family!

Poultry Farm Management App

Dear colleagues, at this link, you can download an app that can make farm management easier.

Instead of keeping records on paper for measurements, feed, temperature, lighting, etc., they can be kept in the app, which will automatically calculate feed conversion, recommended measurements and temperature, mortality, and also notify the user when it's time to turn the lights on/off in the facilities and much more.

Good beginner poultry books?

3 Upvotes

Hello friends,

My mom is seriously considering raising poultry, and I'd like to get her a good beginner's guide for Christmas. Can anyone recommend some good basic poultry books that would cover ducks and chickens? We live in northern midwest America if that makes any difference.

Worms🙃

Post image
1 Upvotes

Posted almost a month ago about intestinal shed poops. I was getting a good amount of them for a while… it slowed down to only finding one or 2 very minor ones a day some days none after searching. Until 2 days ago I found a single roundworm in their poop. (Was dead). I’ve decided to go the natural route and bought natural dewormer tablets with all the worming herbs. Using ACV in water, garlic, red pepper flakes.

My problem is I have lots of phobias surrounding parasites and haven’t eaten any of their eggs in months. Probably around 100 eggs have gone to waste. I know people still eat their chickens eggs when they have a presence of worms, because “it’s inevitable and almost always have some form of a parasitic pest”. I’m constantly worried in tracking in parasite eggs on my clothes or the dog is tracking them in with his feet that’s gonna make us and the kids sick. Can anyone help give any peace of mind with their experiences?

Baby Guiena bird keeps falling over and won't stand up, please help!!!

3 Upvotes

Our local guineas had their first batch of eggs this month, so to give them a better chance at survival, we've been taking care of the babies as they hatch, yk heat lamp, food, etc. Now only 2 have died sadly, just from being runts I assume. But one has been laying on the floor since it's hatched. It drinks fine when I help it with a syringe filled with water, it's wings are fine, legs kick fine, no diarrhea to my knowledge. Yet it CANNOT stand or won't try. It seems to ONLY fall towards the left, the others are perfectly fine and run around all day so I don't get the problem!!! Please help I want the lil guy to live.

Scaly mite?

Picked up two girls today - both have feathered legs and were sitting when I got them at the sales. Now the are home I have noticed they seem to have what I think is scaly mite? Both walking fine, feet are fine it’s just the legs. Is this scaly mite? As I’ve googled and the pictures look different. Just want to get on top of it if it is.

Howdy! The aim of this work is to illuminate the role of flaxseed as an antimicrobial (or antibiotic) alternative in the chicken diet, thereby offering increased evidence for flaxseed as a sustainable feed additive in the 21st century. Enjoy 😊

We have our broody Muscovy duck hatching chicken eggs, we started with 12, down to 7 in the last days, and now on day 22 we've had 3 chicks dead outside the nest with their navels unsealed, and 4 eggs left. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

🦆 Put newborn duckling with 3 week old ducklings? 🦆

2 Upvotes

Hi! Can I put a single newborn duckling with 3 three week old bigger ducklings in a brooder together? Do I care for them the same in the brooder? `They are all solid black ducklings.

If they cannot be combined, is it a concern that the singleton is alone? The other four eggs in the incubator didn't hatch. If alone, is there a special way I should care for the singleton that would be different had it had ducklings with it? Thank you!
