The Poultry reddit
Poultry - domesticated birds kept by humans for the eggs they produce, their meat, their feathers, or sometimes as pets. These birds are most typically members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), especially the order Galliformes (which includes chickens, Guinea fowl, quails and turkeys) and the family Anatidae, in order Anseriformes, commonly known as "waterfowl" and including domestic ducks and domestic geese. The word "poultry" comes from the French/Norman word poule, itself derived from the Latin word pullus, which means small animal. Wikipedia: Poultry

I bought a silkie chick and this chicken today to go along with my sussex hens. I’m not too sure what type of chicken this is tho if anyone could help 🤷♀️
Everything is going well!
I’m not sure if this is a the right place for this but I have a problem with one of my Turkey hens, she’s been broody and sits on her “eggs” for long without food. Well yesterday I had to move her to get her to eat and I discovered that she has somehow acquired a tennis ball which she might have thought was an egg. She had three eggs in the past few weeks but somehow they’ve all gotten broken… what should I do to help her? Is it wise to take the tennis ball away ? Can I get her some fertilised eggs or would she reject them ? It makes me sad seeing her like this :(
This little egg has been internally pipping for over a day. I've looked everything up a million times and I'm getting a million different answers. He has made a really small hole on the shell surface but the outside of the hole has turned crusty. The duckling is still moving a lot inside the egg and I can even hear him chirping. The egg itself was moving around yesterday but there hasn't been a lot of movement from the egg for a while, despite the chick inside seeming very alive.
got today through transport. what does it have and how can i help
For those of you that ferment feed, what brand of feed do you ferment? Also, do you feed your roosters the same feed? We let ours graze feed out of the same dish all day/night so I guess if we were gonna feed them separately then we would need to have designated feeding times. Also, red pepper flakes in the food, how much do you add? For vitamin e, do you regularly supplement with vitamin e drops or only give when you suspect wry neck? Also, what herbs do you put in your dust baths? I have heard of putting DE, sevin dust, wood ash, potting soil, construction sand, and herbs in there but I am not sure what herbs.
I have a broad breasted turkey, shes pretty old for a broad breast, about 4 years old. Today I noticed she has a nice sized injury on her stomach, looks to be a bit old, and looks like someone stabbed her or or sliced her with a knife or something, its an odd looking injury for sure. I'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out if there are any kind of antibiotics I can find over the counter to give her or something. She's not acting too different, shes eating well and doing her strutting thing, but her injury looks pretty significant to me. I can't find any vet around me that will see birds. The closet one is almost 2 hours away and I really don't know how I would even go about getting her in a vehicle safely, especially without disturbing her injury. I know there are rules against giving poultry birds antibiotics, but she is strictly a pet and will never be eaten.
Woke up this morning to let the birds out of the coop. I noticed one of our turkeys had passed sometime last night. They were started on gamebird starter and switched over to gamebird flock feed, they all looked fairly healthy, did not show any signs of being sick before passing, 4 months old, first time raising turkeys any ideas?
We have all our poultry together, up until recently no problems. Both turkeys now spend all day, everyday in the chicken coop. (Despite having a nesting space of their own.) They'll come out to eat and right back in. She's now not laying, they aren't mating because they're just laying in the coop. They're too big for the chicken coop so the chicken eggs just crushed by them. It's aggravating me to all hell. I understand it's hot but has anyone delt with this...how can I fix my laaaaaaazy turkeys?? I really don't want to eat them...I wanted turkey babies.
A chicken of mine has tiny white swollen spots on parts of its comb Refusing to eat or drink water And it closes one of its eye which is now reddish. I don't know what's wrong with it
