Nice Brooder! I am so jealous, I use a large Rubbermaid box with some wire cloth connected to a wooden frame on top. Thanks for posting the pics and measurements.

Do you have a website where we can look at the book? I am from Hurlock, now I live in Howard Co. Md. This looks interesting. I have some other books that were given to me by family members about Dorchester Co. Is the book hard cover or paperback? Thanks Amy

Does anyone know of a video out there on how to butcher a turkey? I have butchered turkeys before and it is not easy, so I was looking for something that I could watch that may make the job a little less of a struggle. There is a video on You Tube called "Survival Skills with Russ - How to...

Hen treats would be a cute thing to go in the basket.

I have had Marek's go through my flock a couple of years ago. I only knew that it was because one of the hens that was affected was one of my daughter's favorites. It had trouble walking, flying and getting up on the the perch. We took the hen to our 4H vet and she had to euthanize her...

Hi, How much is shipping? Thanks Amy

I just love your coop design. I have been looking for one that would be good for a flock of silkies and this one fits the bill. Thanks for posting.

Oh Wow! Frosty! Now you have literally scared the bejeebers out of me. I am not a fan of any rodent, rats are the worst of the bunch. Can't imagine them staring at me in the dark. It is too cold here in Maryland to sit out there with a gun although I have thought about setting some traps...

I was just reading another thread on BYC and it was all about the various predators in our coops. Anyway, it sounds like it may be a rat. Apparently, they dig in and take the eggs, whole, and roll them out. My turkeys aren't even supposed to be around right now, they did not make weight...

I have a coop that sits on the ground but has fencing attached to the bottom as flooring. I then put a 2" layer of pine shavings on top of the fencing, and that is where I keep my 4 turkeys. One of the hens just started laying eggs about 3 weeks ago. Shortly after I noticed holes around the...
