You guys are awesome! Thank you!!!

Is the oyster shell ok for the Turkeys?

What are thoughts and opinions on pellets vs crumbles? My big chickens Lucy and Ethel aren't laying yet but will I have to buy " food layer" or can I keep them on the all flock?

I've had them on a 30% but trying now to see what i need to go to (why i asked for advice) They are not being raised for meat, they are pets. The 18% all flock is an all around bird feed? I have chicks on their own food but I have two chickens the same age as the turkeys. They have been on the...

Well that's what it was I found it at TSC for an awesome deal but it was a pick up from that store only. I can't order it online. I found a good deal on it out of state but shipping costs are more than the feed itself. I will talk to them see what they say at TSC.

SO my turkeys are now about 16 weeks old. I am finding a hard time finding feed for them at local feed stores. I found one bag of feed for about $20 at feed store where that same bag sells for $54 on Amazon. Any reasonable recommendations that won't break the bank? The feed I found before I can...

We have had chickens and turkeys for almost 2 months and I've started to look into an agricultural exemption and to start selling the eggs once that time comes around. Just trying to get my ducks in a row before the time comes. I have read so many pages and I have seen where you can get an ag...

That's why I wanted to ask, to see if anyone has done it and what is the fine print. What actual requirements are there, ie how many chickens, do you have to sell a certain amount, ect.

I have been trying to read all into it and I can't find where it states land requirements. I read somewhere that selling chicken eggs can make you exempt as agricultural (not timber)

Any luck ever getting one in Texas?

I am thinking it is fowl pox. The bump has now turned red. And now after investigating, I did find a sore on one of the other turkeys. It is not raised like the other one and has already scabbed over. The pic with the red circle on top is a different turkey than the one with it around the eye.

Foul Pox? Contagious? Should i worry?

So I just noticed a “sore” above my turkeys eye. There turkey doesn’t seem to be in pain and act completely normal. There’s no blood, puss or anything. It’s just a bump and it seems to have a tiny pin prick in the middle but it’s hard to see. Possibly a spider bite? Anyone seen anything like...

These are very nice pictures thank you for sharing.

I will be watchful to see if the redness begins to go away, to determine if its a sunburn.
