thanks so much for sharing and the ideas. I have already separated the turkeys during the daytime when the hens are in the brooder. As dusk comes along, everyone is calm and ready for bed.
I will keep an eye out for the behavior. I think I have a new home for the turkeys in a week or so...
I wasn't sure which forum to post this on, but it seems like kind of an emergency to me. So I apologize if this is the wrong forum to bring up this subject.
I have a Blue Slate female and Red Bourbon male turkeys that around 5-6 months old. They recently have been attacking my broody hens...
This year, I ordered about 75 chicks from various hatcheries and in the mix of having the chicks in various brooders, there are a couple of chicks I can't identify what they are. They are now feathered out and in the big coop.
The pullet in the pictures has blue legs (the picture doesn't show...
Thanks for the ideas on the greens. We just got 8 inches of snow today, but they loved it when I took them outside the other day. I think I will let them walk around the garage a bit when I get home. I have some greens I will feed them as well. I also just stopped at Petco during lunch and...
Thank you all for some of the great advice and suggestions you offered! They have a good sized brooder, but I think they are bored. I also talked to someone who said that maybe they need some protein too. So I will be adding sunflower seeds to their diet and maybe some meal worms.
Will pick up...
This is the first time I have decided to raise geese. I thought I would give them a try after two years of raising chickens and turkeys. I bought two gosling 5 weeks ago and really love them. I had put them in with some of my chicks that were the same age, when I first got them, but I had to...
Wow! I have been really wanting some Breda chicks! When do you think you all will be opening up for shipping? Would love to buy some from you if you would consider shipping.
Thanks
I will be traveling out to Omaha next weekend (March 1-3). If you are not able to find a home for them, by then, I would be happy to buy them from you. I live in South Dakota.
Let me know and I will send you a PM with my contact info.
thanks much

I am interested in buying Frizzle chicks. I am looking for Frizzle Standard Cochins, but open to other Frizzle breeds.
Please PM me if you are interested in selling and shipping. Willing to drive to neighboring states to pick up. Interested in purchasing up to a dozen. Thanks and have a...
I appreciate all the comments on this topic. It is good to see the varying views, opinions and experiences. I always seem to learn more ever time I get on here.
I am in the Black Hills of South Dakota, where winters can be super cold (not as bad as in Canada). We have a coop that is...
I have 52 chickens that free range. We live on 25 acres in the Black Hills of South Dakota, with lots of predators, including mountain lion, coyotes, fox, eagles, hawks, etc. I have lost about 20 hens and pullets to predators. I have now tried a couple of new ideas that I hope will help...
