    Chicken sausage recipe wanted

    Thanks for the reply Osbmail. I ended up using a recipe I got on line and the sausages were great. I added 12 oz ground up bacon to my 5 lbs of ground chicken breasts as well as a cup of red wine,2 jalapeno peppers, some cilantro, salt and pepper. It was great. I have heard that apples go well...

    my chickens havent layed an egg yet

    Hi and welcome to BYC . Is it possible that they are laying eggs in a spot where you cant find them? When you attempt to pet them do they squat? If they do that usually means that they are laying eggs.

    how old are these turkeys?

    My best guess is 6 to 8 weeks. If we have some turkey raising members maybe they can give you a more accurate guess.

    If you are going to raise birds, predators are a fact of life. Some of us shoot predators and some of us do not. For this post I am only referring to coons. I salute all who do shoot and either eat or feed the coons to their birds. I respect the fact that some of us find this repulsive. I would...

    Please see my previous post. I said if a coon was healthy I would eat it. Rabies is in everyone's area. If I thought that it was not healthy, I would incinerate the carcass.

    If they smelled badly, they may have been eating garbage or other things not too appetizing. I wouldn't eat them either. A coons normal diet consists of what it can get in the environment that it lives in. They actually prefer fish and corn but will eat what they have to in order to survive. I...

    How about S-C-C-E? Shoot, Clean, Cook, Eat. Chickens and you win.......the coon loses.

    I certainly would if it was after my birds and I shot it. Why waste it? I believe that GClark states that release is not an option. I am suggesting that a coon dinner is an option and one that I would choose.

    Good for you Gclark. As a youth I trapped coons when I could and one of my neighbors told me they were good eating. I roasted a few and found out they were right. They were delicious. Taste a bit like pork. Do you eat them? If you don't, you may want to consider it. Good luck with your flock.

    Hello from Durham, NC

    Thank God she is the only coop inspector in the county. I would hate to think that there could be more. I know counties need more coop inspectors. Great way to spend our tax dollars . Sorry for being such a smart A## but I couldn't resist. Good luck with your flock .

    Hello from Durham, NC

    This still scares the B. Jesus out of me. Since when does your local govt. have the authority or the knowledge to decide how you should build your coop? It does not surprise me that you knew more than the inspector did. What do they know about raising chickens? This really irks my liver! It...
