    Wow! You must be so proud! Please thank them for their service! I hope to be here a little more too. It was so funny, I have hatched lots of eggs in the past, but because the last few years have been such a whirlwind, I’ve forgotten a whole lot. :lol:

    Hi everybody! Not sure if anyone here remembers me, but hello anyways! It’s been a few years since I logged in. After trying for many years to have children, we finally got one! And then another, and another, and one more. :lol: When I was pregnant with my first, I had to give up all of...

    Cream Brabanters chicken breed

    Where did you find them? I’d been looking a while back, but wasn’t able to find any.

    Hey guys, I have to catch up on here again, I’ve just been loving the opportunity to work outside in this weather. I have a question for you all. A neighbor’s dog came through and killed two chicks that my broodies had been raising. I’m not sure if any of the other couple of chickens that...

    Hey Dennis, I’d love some more CCLs, and I have some neighbors asking for some layers also. I’d be happy to reimburse you for whatever they give me for the hens. Do you have any of the hackle Roos left ? My main Roo got snatched, and I’d love a pretty boy.

    Is this Bumblefoot? Or growths?

    That is quite a coincidence! I’m glad to hear it was only callouses. It’s just odd that this is her only chicken affected. The owner had original put the small rocks/large gravel in the run because it wasn’t covered. Now that it is, she is adding more mulch, soil, etc. I’ll be sure to...

    Is this Bumblefoot? Or growths?

    Hey everybody! I’ve had bumblefoot in my flock before, and I’ve been able to do surgery successfully (Thanks BYC and YouTube!). A neighbor asked for help with her hen who had bumble foot. I asked for pictures, and she sent the first two below. It seemed like caked on poo more than anything...

    You beat me to it. I have close to 40 birds in my coop, and it’s a 12x10 shed. But they only sleep and lay eggs in there. I have to do some serious repairs this spring though. I knew my floor was feeling squishy near the door, but the last time I was in my hands and knees cleaning the...

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    I would have never thought of this! Thank you guys! That’s why I asked here. Thanks again! My toms have a large area to free range, so I haven’t had that problem... yet! I’m glad to see it’s nothing more than stubbornness. X2!

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    Hi everybody! It’s been a long time since I’ve been on this thread, but I have a question for the experts. A woman I sold two poults go least year asked me about the Tom. She said his chest is bald, and I asked her to send me pictures. I first asked her if she noticed hiM preening...

    I love it when flock integration works out well. The two broody Mamas are doing great. The white turkey seems to be particularly good at chasing away anybody she doesn’t like around her peeps. Of course we don’t want fights in our flocks, but it’s great to see the Mama’s get in a tussle to...

    I’m so sorry for the loss in your family. Sending my sympathies. :hugs Welcome to the fun!

    So I figured out why my turkey wouldn’t take to the new black chicks. Apparently, she thought the first batch were her chicks also. She is not very vocal, so they don’t seem to respond to her, but they may come around. If you look at the pictures of Ruby below, you can see three chicks...

    Yeah, it is sad. Apparently there were over a thousand. :( My turkey is not being a very good broody Mom though, so I took the chicks from her. This morning, there was a broody duck in the same nesting box, and 3 chicks had gotten trampled and died. I am going to create a separate area for...
