I have not sold ANY this year. We are very small. I have a total of 19 peafowl ranging in ages from 6 months to 4 years. I advertise them, but have never sold any. I research and try to have prices equal to others in my area/state, but there does not seem to be any interest here in North...

I used to help with dog rescue. One day I brought home a tiny toy(5 lb), 10 year old, red Poodle named Pebbles who was on death's door. We nursed Pebbles back to health and she lived another six years. She was a spunky little gal and quickly became Queen in the household, even bossing around...

From everything I have read, turkeys get sick much easier than chickens as a general rule. I cannot name the illness because we don't have a vet in the area to treat poultry and a necropsy costs nearly $400! When it first happened, we thought maybe it was an injury from some kind of fight...

Turkeys are my favorite bird. We have quite a few. My babies are two that came from the feed store. They had gotten wet and cold and were dying in the cage when I bought them. I wrapped them up in an old baby blanket and held them all night to keep them warm. I would hold them every night...

Absolutely beautiful bird! What a great picture!

Turkeys are very vulnerable to illness from chickens. They will pick up chicken bacteria and disease easily. Bacteria, illness and parasites that cause very little harm to chickens will kill a turkey quickly with few symptoms and no warning. They cannot live together. We learned this the...

I wouldn't give up on dogs completely. My blind, deaf sheltie never harms our birds. She hardly even notices them! (Incidentally...she's not old. She was born this way.)

If feed is an issue...my hens are great layers. I have more eggs than I know what to do with and give them away! The girls are fed layer pellets and meow mix catfood. Catfood is very high in protien and they LOVE it. Some folks say don't feed catfood but my birds have been eating it for over...

We have beautiful chocolates. Currently we have pairs available from a March hatch. We also have ducklings that are 3 weeks old. Shipping is a possibility depending upon how many ducklings you would like to have.

Believe it or not, I have turkeys that follow me around and will hop onto my lap. If I leave the door to the house open Birdie and Ernie (originally they were Burt and Ernie, but Burt turned out to be Birdie) will come inside and follow me around the house!

Thank you Leecey!

Do you know we had a predator last year that was really challenging to trap. The trap was thrown all over the place. One morning we even found the door bent. My husband ended up using tent stakes to hold the trap in place and of course, camoflaging it as much as possible. Turned out to be a...

Goodness...it is really challenging to take closeup photos of free range ducks! The one in the center of the first photo is Mama. All the others are her March babies.
