He is the most adorable thing. Almost 3 months old, black, with red comb and big solid black eyes. He is tiny only about 6 inches tall from the top of his head. His "sister" is already more than twice his size. I cant find anything that looks like him. A lot are close, but not exactly, so I...
Ok, little update, as I was doing the treatment for egg binding, and when I picked her up, I noticed her abdomen is hard as a rock. I don't feel any particular lumps just an over all hardness. My poor girl. It doesn't feel like fluid in there, but I will take a needle to it per the...
I don't think she is going to make it past today. But I will definately try that when I get home if she is still with us. She was pretty hunched up this morning. I put her out with her sisters as she was so sad by herself.
Hi All,
I noticed one of my barred rocks had an unusually large crop last week. I went to pick her up and she is skin and bone. So I massaged the crop to see if I could feel anything, and felt nothing but liquid. I separated her from the flock, massaged her crop etc.. and when I checked on...
She comes and sits in my lap everyday and I check her over pretty good then. Nothing in her mouth at all. Everything looks normal except for those spots.
Well she is my only turkey, so no worries there. Poor Mabel. She is such a sweetheart. She doesn't seem any worse for wear, so I will consider myself lucky
Hi All,
I posted this also in the turkey section but since they get a lot of the same issues, I wanted to cross post here. Here is a picture of Mabels neck. Day before yesterday in the morning her neck looked like this, today it looks exactly the same. I researched fowl pox, but it just...
Thank you, I did read up on fowl pox, its just that none of the photos looked quite like what she is exhibiting. I found something about mosquito sores, but then lost the link.
I figured I would ask here while doing more research as well. The bumps have not spread. The ones she has (which...
These black scabs showed up on my girl the other day, I have no idea what this is, and cannot find anything on line that looks similar.
So far her behavior is fine, she doesn't mind me touching them at all etc.... she is eating and drinking fine.
Any information you have would be greatly...
Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but poor Sprout passed away shortly after this posting. I have no idea what could have been wrong with her. I am thinking she had cancer, but that is not a for sure diagnosis.
She would hang out with me I would just spoil her rotten give her tons to...
I feel horrible. I don't want her to suffer but I also think what if I finally figure it out and it works and she pulls through??
I am going to get some medicated chick starter on the way home. Maybe it will help
No but she is still with us for now. I gave her the poly vi sol and added pedialite to her water. She will perk up a little in the evenings, she can walk a little but that just poops her right out. She found a favorite place for an earthworm a couple days ago and I started to dig some up for...
They aren't pale, but they also are not as dark as the other girls either.
I ordered the water soluble vitamins on line, but is there something I can give her in the mean time in case I can't find them at any if the pet stores?
So sprout is still with us this morning, she went from not being able to stand last night, to being able to stand this am. Although she drank some water for me, she didn't eat her worms. :(.
This is horrible. None of my other girls are showing any signs of anything thankfully
