    Eight Week Old Muscovy Ducklings Feather Picking

    So, I was told they might be bored, moved them (8 ducklings) and Momma to a much larger coop with enclosed outdoor run. However the babies are still picking at each other's wing feathers. I saw a suggestion somewhere to hang a head of lettuce, put peas in a bowl of water for them to dive for...

    advice on keeping ducks winter proof needed!

    I live in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. My ducks did fine in their coop last year. They have an indoor outdoor coop and chose to spend all their time sitting outside in the snow. My biggest problem was keeping them watered, I didn't have a heated water base, but because they are very...

    What Breed of Turkey is my Tom Tom (I know original name, Huh?)

    Thanks ThomasTurkey. By the way, is there any way to gauge the age of an adult turkey? I know it's a strange question, but I didn't know if there were some tell tale signs of their stage of maturity, like with horses, etc. Something like the amount of growth/sagging involved in the skin on...

    What Breed of Turkey is my Tom Tom (I know original name, Huh?)

    So, I went to the poultry swap over the weekend. Turkey hens were hard to come by and certainly no Narragansetts. I have been worried about him wandering off to find a wild female and it is Turkey season in my area, so I got him a friend of another breed. She (hopefully) is very young but as...

    What Breed of Turkey is my Tom Tom (I know original name, Huh?)

    Good, I had hoped he was right. I really wanted a Heritage breed, but when this guy was at the auction, I didn't want him to end up in roaster... I sadly can't join the other owners who send their birds to freezer camp. I can send their off spring to auction if I don't think too hard on it...

    What Breed of Turkey is my Tom Tom (I know original name, Huh?)

    I am very new to turkeys, this fellow is my first, bought at auction on Monday. I am wondering what breed you all think he may be. He weighs 47 pounds. Someone at the sale suggested Narragansett. We have the Bantam and Pigeon Swap this Sunday (05/01) and I am hoping to find him a female. He...

    Mixed - Breed Nest question Ducks/Geese

    So I have a Production Tolouse goose and two Pekin ducks who have cooperated on a nest. They currently have 20 eggs in the nest and I believe Greta (goose) is going broody. Is it a bad idea to let her sit on these eggs? Will she leave the nest once the ducklings are hatched and leave the...

    Wanted - Ameracauna/EE, Buff Orps, Black Giants and Midget White Turks

    Thats fine, any numbers of any breeds work, I don't have pure flocks, I have a barnyard assortment, I just love those breeds. I have an Ameracauna roo, thats why I was specifically looking for those hens/chicks. Just let me know how many you want to place and how much you want for them and I...

    Wanted - Ameracauna/EE, Buff Orps, Black Giants and Midget White Turks

    @6happiness, I am hoping for a about 6 of each breed. I do like the Palm's too. And would consider them. For the Turkeys though I would only really want a non-related male and female. Or male and two females, I don't plan on eating the turkeys but may let them raise their young.
