currently taking care of an old neglected hen. she is the sweetest (big) little thing ever. i have been slow blinking at her like i do with my cats AND SHE DOES IT BACK! not sure how similar turkeys are to cats lol but i’m choosing to believe that she understands the trust 🩷 i just slowly blinked at her and now she is falling asleep. so cute. just thought i’d share!
just took a turkey home that was stuck alone inside a dark barn for years. we just relocated her and that was definitely very upsetting for her. she’s now panting super hard to the point where she is salivating a ton. i’m sure she has some pre-existing issues. but what can i do her comfort immediately? i’m trying to tell my family to leave her alone and give her space but they aren’t listening. she has been given food, water, and a dish of cold water with ice cubes and small frozen veggies. help !
My chickens have been pecking at a cardboard box in my yard whenever they get the chance... I’m not sure if they’re just ripping pieces off for the fun of it or if they’re eating the bits as well. Is it safe for them to ingest it? I’m moving the box but just want to know if there’s anything I should to to prevent a blockage or something
