    Yes, this is true. And once a hen sees a hen eating a egg, they all try it. If that is the case, I can't help you... I have never successfully broke a egg eater. I have not tried too hard, though because I have only had a couple in mixed up flocks do it. Sometimes it isn't so much a nutritional...

    Sometimes the move stresses them out and they take a while (week or so) to settle in. But also flip them upside down and check they abdomen for mites. (it is a favorite spot of theirs to hide) They can be healthy and just have mites and they won't lay because of the itching. If they do have...

    Where is Bulls Gap? What kind of turkeys? Would you let them go to be eaten or only pet/breeders?

    I don't clip chicken wings but had parrots and caged birds growing up... you only have to clip a inch or two of the tip of the primaries... keeps them from getting "lift off". I can see where certain breeds and certain locations, it would be better to clip, but for me... I just leave them be...

    Everyone is free to come or go as they please... but I don't see a reason in leaving because others got "in trouble" with staff. Again, it is also against the rules to question staffs decisions and also against the rules to keep gossiping about the problem that caused it all. That said, this...

    Yeah they are a sweeter breed. I have been around geese often at various points in my life and they are one of those breeds that is more prone to being nicer. I'll have to remember you when I want some. lol. I used to have my heart set on Cotton Patch but I was turned off when I talked about...

    Yeah I got them for that reason. Years of strict breeding to SOP standards and these are like a vacation. You get the fun of mutts but can still sell them as purebred. They also are very good rangers and lay large white eggs. White egg layers usually are spazzes and lay smaller eggs... not these...

    Those are Swedish Flower Hens. A wonderful breed if you like the toss up of mutts but still keeping them purebred.

    Molly is probably mostly Australorp... people cross either on purpose or out of a lack of knowledge that there is no telling if it was the person you got her from or someone else down the line. With the "chicken boom" a couple years back, there were alot of people who jumped on to breeding for...
