Thank you! He is an impressive bird, and so sweet, too! I'm glad to have him in my flock. A friend suggested Augustus for his name, and I think it fits him perfectly!   I hope your babies pull through, Glenmar. Always so sad...

Thanks, I was thinking maybe royal palm and narraganset cross myself! I think he's too light colored to be a full narraganset and too large to be a full royal palm (we have some royal palms at work), so that could be it! I'll see what...

This guy is a rescue, he turned up in someone's yard unexpectedly. He's very friendly, and I think I'm most likely going to keep him (as a pet). I know a little about turkey breeds, but when I looked at pictures of different breeds he...

Thanks for the thoughts, everyone. She hasn't improved, and in fact is looking worse. I think she might be passing away in the next twenty-four to forty-eight hours. I still can't find much of anything specifically wrong with her, just...

I'm looking to fix up my coops so they are less muddy and more secure. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or sources for cheap 1/4" hardware cloth and gravel.   The best deals I've found on hardware cloth have...

I don't know how much she wants (PM her), but she said she'll be down there in the morning tomorrow, Saturday!

Thank you Walt, that helps! I'm going to head down there a little later today!   I guess I'm going to stay with my grandma... It's an hour away so that's not the best option, but oh well! Maybe if I see some friends there who...
