It’s been a while since we’ve raised chicks and I can’t remember if we used pine shavings or not. Is it safe for them?

Hi all, I’m thinking of adding some chickens to the flock, any recommendations for hatcheries in valley area of Oregon?

Four months

I have this Ayam Cemani x Andalusian and I’m not sure if they are are a boy or girl?? Thoughts? I also see some green reflections... every part of me is telling me that this is a roo, but I want a hen 😂

Thanks so much! I have to agree that the left is a Tom, and three hens seems right by I’m thinking that it might be possible that one of the bronze are a Tom as well 🤔

My turkeys are almost a month and a half now (BB) what gender do you think they are?

Buy a new incubator??

I’m thinking bronze broad breasted, I have ones that look just like that and they look same age range

Do you rotate the eggs for even heat?

It does take some time, maybe put some chicken treats by mom when she comes out so she learns how to eat

Ahhhh, I see your point now. I wish they didn’t switch brooders as more chicks have been diying this year, but the brooders save a lot of space

1: turkeys do really well with my goats, so that would be no problem 2: depends on breed, maybe about the size that it can run and know how to hide, still depends on breed 3: I am not sure 4: I would choose bronze or white, they are very popular and grow very fast, while heritage turkeys don’t...

Also, here is a link to a video that explains all of this, to help understand my point more

The brooders in their stores are different this year, and it seems that they are all trying to get warmth, they are huddling together
