    RIP Peaches

    These birds don't have much longevity anyway. I only got the broad breasted out of ignorance. For a pet, I won't make that mistake again. The royal palms are doing well.

    RIP Peaches

    I found my broad breasted white Peaches in the coop this morning in rigor mortis (or frozen). He was born in March this year and must weigh a ton. I think he was victim to hypothermia. Because he couldn't perch like my heritage turkeys, he was always lying in the wet muck outside and it...

    Turkey tunnel ?

    I am planning to make a turkey tunnel. My search doesn't come up with a single mention of such a thing anywhere in the Googleverse. Am I overlooking some obvious reason why no one does this? I am raising my first pair of poults in the brooder at the moment.
