Hi Debbie, What are your ameraucanas like? Color, disposition, health, and laying rate? I'm looking for some, and my birds get pretty good retirement packages =)

I'd say in general my turkeys and chickens get along. The exceptions to the rule are the roosters and the toms - they will bloody each other out of pure stubbornness during the breeding season. As far as breeds go, I can't complement the royal palms enough for temperament. My old tom is such a...

Welcome back! I'm not sure I'll ever stay caught up =)

I had that happen, but the little guy opened it after a day! I assumed it was the bright lights after spending a month growing in a dark egg =)

I started sand this year. So far, it keeps up much better than the shavings; the constant rain has created some muddy sand areas though. I think it probably needs raking more often than I do it.

Do you want a broad-breasted specifically? I have 11 as of this weekend that are Narragansett, Royal Palm and Oregon Gray mixes. Heritage birds are pretty fun =)

Hi Emily, I'm in Bloomington - and I have all kinds of fertile eggs of mutt types - Jersey giant, blue wheaton, white silkie, cuckoo marans, and naked neck. I'd be happy to give you a dozen or so if you are ever out this-a-way. -Carrie

Quote: I'm certified to test, but I don't have any supplies, so mostly I can volunteer time in limited quantities =)

Are you looking for scovy ducklings? What age? Mine like to be in a row: Also, did y'all see this: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1125376/new-byc-breeders-directory-submit-your-info We need more Hoosier representation! -Carrie

Hi Everyone! I hope everyone's had a great summer. I'm slowly wading through this board from July on so I'm behind =) Has anyone seen this - I had a baby turkey born this year that hatched a little late. It was such a sweet little guy, and we handled it a lot as a baby because its siblings...

Ew, human cooties!

Yeah, the Bloomington store has lots of things, but not spark plugs for my tiller or oil filters for my mower >=' I'm surprised Lawrence county has these issues - some friends of mine in Springville are pretty happy with the zoning down there. I'm not a big fan of restrictive laws against people...

Hi y'all, I haven't had much free time so I've been a little scarce (I come back and there are a hundred pages of backlog! o.o ). Updates: - I'm now certified to do blood testing for NPIP. I haven't been able to find anyone else who does this, so I don't have any antigen to do the test, nor do...

Look at that face! So stern. Is it a robin, starling, finch..?
