I have two extra Bourbon Red tom turkeys hatched in May. They have been raised with chickens, ducks, dogs and cats. Since I only have one hen I need to get rid of the extra boys. They are quite fun to watch and keep my pushy roosters in check. $20 each.
Is anyone able to sex young rabbits? We got two last night and I took some pictures of their "goods." I'll send you the pics if you're able to take a guess.
I'm looking for a few heritage turkey poults to add to my 10 BBW poults i'm getting early April. I'd prefer something close to I live. Thanks for looking!
Has anyone seen in the news of a family in Florida that was keeping a few back yard chickens to help their Austic son? Keeping chickens was an ordinance violation and they were being pressured to get rid of them or face fines. Before they could act, some thug or thugs came in and killed their...
This morning I came home from work (I work overnights) and like usual, I let the chickens out to free range. They usually bolt out the door and spread out to eat grass. I watched them go outside and noticed that one was missing. Something seemed amiss. Norman, my EE roo, happily crowed away...
I recently had to cull my roo for attacking my son. I had been raising some chicks, two of them grew into handsome EE roos, named Goliath and Norman. Norman is standofish and avoids me. Goliath is also standofish but wasn't when he was a baby. He was always the friendly baby. I have been...
Ok, so I had you all sex my chicks a couple of months ago. I still have lingering doubt on one, the wyandotte. His/her comb developed early then didn't get much bigger. While my EE cockerels are big, struttin their stuff, and have pointy saddle feathers, this one does not. no crowing from...
I got this little girl(?) as a sexed pullet at the local feed store. I'm wondering if it is truly a girl. Legs are a little thicker and tail feathers are a little curly and have a green sheen. The comb only has one row of peas.
I have been dealing with a rooster that has been good to his flock, protective and attentive to his girls, but aweful towards people. Last night was the last straw. My kids, ages 2 and almost 4, were out playing with the chicks and feeding the flock. Maynard, the roo, was out running around...
So when I was deciding to get some chicks, I thought i'd try using a broody to be a serogate mama. Of course, none of my pullets were in full broody mode so I opted out of using a broody. Today when I got up, I noticed someone left the partition door open where the chicks are kept, thus...
