Thanks again for the info.

Thanks for the info. I figured maybe fenced areas they would forget how they got out to get back in, our chickens do that sometimes when we let them out of the pvc tractor back into their setup 2 of them we let walk with us till we are moved and they all get use to openess and not in sock that...

Thanks for the tip about the female to male... so pretty close to the rule of thumb that you always want your females of a breeding line bigger than your male (with cows anyways if the bulls head is bigger than our biggest cow the calves will be big and you may have to pull a lot of them). I...

Thanks for all the info ill have to look into hatchery options prob or maybe someone that has heritage and breeds them... i know we have owls don't know what kind... the opossums, raccoons, skunks, and black snakes will be our main predators... we have grey fox but i think their numbers are...

we got hit hard by the 7yr locusts lol... we tried the pellets before (with the chickens) they could care less for them for some reason thats what i figured with the turkeys that werent heritage birds... sometimes our ruralking gets heritage ones... my only concern is if they are more...

I was looking into the midget white but our rurralking nor tractor supply sell them... even though our ruralking shows them on their image board of the different breeds... with the broad breasted i know turkeys in general don't lay as much as chickens, but when they would lay is there a good...

Thanks I figured heritage turkeys would have to be our thing if we wanted them to reproduce naturally....the kids like the broad breasted but i didn't think they would be broody or if they did lay we have an incubator, but also thought maybe if we had a broody hen (chicken) we could put the...

Thanks for the info. With the oysters i didn't think calcium would be a good thing due to their kidneys etc. but wasn't sure if my thinking was correct. I can remember when I had the mini lops as a kid mine loved the brown mineral circle, raisins (as treats), etc. we want to try and keep the...

we will be moving to 4.9 acre out in the country (buying my aunt and uncles family home) right now we have two flocks of buff orps.... our last hatching produced two roosters (which allowed us to weed out our really mean one) we like both of them the one moonie (was called luna cuz for the...

we are moving out to a 4.9acre property (buying family home from our aunt and uncle)... right now we have just buff orps (2 flocks since we have too roosters that are really good from last hatch but don't tolerate each other any more so had to make two flocks) we want to add "meat" rabbits to...

(*the post may sound similar as the birds that we want to add to our flock setup we are posting in their respective forum space) we are moving out to a 4.9acre property (buying family home from our aunt and uncle)... right now we have just buff orps (2 flocks since we have too roosters that...

Ok so first we are in ohio (if that makes a difference)... we will be moving into my aunt and uncles house on 5acres out in the country (buying once they get their spot in the retirement community towards the end of the year). I will apologize ahead of time for a long post :) Right now we are...

That makes sense and figured we would have to hatch the br eggs... Curious as you said the sexlink roo keeps the barred gene so does that mean if breed with br hens then it would make more brs? Only curious if we do get some br chicks and let them cross but want to add to the br line if that is...
