HELP!!!
I have 3 turkeys sitting on eggs..... they are all in the same pen. I have left them alone, other than feeding and watering them. When I went in the pen yesterday to check on things, THE STINCH WAS UNBEARABLE!!!! I feel so sorry for them laying there in the smell...... it's...
I have one slightly better for you....... A couple of years ago, I was working at a customer's business and locked 3, yes THREE, sets of keys in my work van! Now, I could not have done this in the privacy of my home...... I had to do it at the local newstalk radio station. I was their main...
Yes...... The meaties are notoriously NASTY! I've done them for the last 2 years, but have gone with more traditional breeds for my flock this year. Good luck!
BTW...... just a word about their customer service...... THEY ARE AWESOME! I sent them an email Sunday night, fully expecting it to take a day or two before someone got back with me. NOPE! I had an answer to my email within an hour.... on a Sunday night!
Harris Farms makes these, as...
I bought one tonight from TSC, got it home and the thing just WILL NOT hold water! There were no instructions, and there was a loose plastic piece that looked similar to a plastic nipple...... I put this piece between the float plate and the bottom drain under the bucket, with the flat side...
Thanks for the replies. I knew that they could get over the fence........ I was just curious if anybody thought it would be a big problem given that they have so much other room to roam. I will give them a mulch bed close to the coop...... That is a great idea! Thanks, y'all!

Hi all,
I am going to fence off my garden this year since I am going with a more sustainable flock. (I have always done the Cornish X's, but this year I am raising dark cornish and white Rocks, along with a few remaining layers of mixed breed)
I have always kept them penned up, except for...
Well..... here's my McMurray experience: I have ordered chicks from them the past 2 years with no problems whatsoever HOWEVER...... Last year I ordered turkeys several months in advance. I took the time to build a new pen for them and get everything ready. The week they were to ship...
I know alot of this area is flooding, I need to get to the 100 block of main street tomorrow to sandbag a building........... I'm just wondering if there is anyone on here from that area that can tell me if I can get into the area tomorrow afternoon...... what's being said about when the...
ooohh, I don't know. I have too many as it is. You can also try an ad on Craigslist.... you might find someone who will process them for part of the birds..... Good luck!
What area of West TN are you in? I am in the Medina / Jackson area. I am not aware of any processors here as I process my own. I just try to set aside a day to do them all at the same time. I currently have 30 cornish X, 22 turkeys, and quail........ and cats, and dogs, and fish, and...

If we had the money we would invest--but if we did enough birds a year to make it worth it...we would have to invest in more freezers...and it just seems like a money pit. I still don't know where we are going to put these 25 that we are raising! We have Beef in our deep freezer, my...
I absolutely LOVE my Whizbang plucker! I do about 30 birds a couple of times a year. I can drop 3 full size chickens into it and have them all de-feathered in about 20 seconds. AND, it's big enough to do small turkeys (which we will have several to do this fall) I don't know about plucking...
I forgot to mention..... When they finally DID ship my eggs, in order to save on THEIR shipping costs (I paid extra for separate freight) they packed all of my eggs in the same box BETWEEN two brown paper bags full of the gamebird feed I ordered from them. The bags were busted (overfilled...
use them to make chicken stock...... you can strain them out after the stock has cooked, but you will have some of THE BEST CHICKEN STOCK ever!!!!!!!
Or use the livers as fish bait...........
