Peachicks of 2016 photos -- Let's see the babies!!!

Dead :hit I don't think I posted it here, but they were killed by a neighbor's turkeys. The neighbors have a habit of not taking good care of their animals, so they had two giant toms that kept coming over and eating all of my feed. I got sick of it so I took it up after feeding my birds in the morning. However, I did not take up the feed in my brooder pens in the coop, so the turkeys busted in there, knocked down the fence, and trampled a ton of my babies in their rush to gobble up all the feed. I lost all my peachicks to them, and most of my other chicks from that year. It set me back nearly a whole year in my breeding with a lot of my birds, and I lost some new breeds I was just getting into entirely.

Between them and their pig that they let roam around around which also just helped itself to my feed, I was very angry with them. But neither the pig nor the turkeys will be a problem again now.

Oh my, that's horrible. I'm so sorry. Did u ever get any compensation from the neighbors?

Nope, been down that road before when they had a dog that kept killing my birds and never got anything from them then either. This time around they promised "a couple bags of feed" to replace what their pig and birds had eaten and, of course, never delivered on that either.
 
Did you get to eat the pig and the tom?


I didn't eat them, but after threatening them with calling the police they did. Or the turkeys, at least. The pig I think is finally penned up. They apparently bought him as a pet for their daughter without actually building a pen for him first. When I complained about the feed it was always that they were 'working' on the pen and that it wasn't done yet but it almost was.

Funny how quickly it was done once the police were mentioned. Then again, there are rumors that they are growing some illegal stuff over there that I'm sure they wouldn't want the police finding.

If that pig does show up again though I'll probably turn it into bacon. They've had their warnings.
