    Turkey seizure?

    I came home from work today to find one of our turkey poults having seizure like symptoms. It was half standing, and kept swinging it's head back and forth. Almost like it was scratching it's head on it's back. It won't stop unless I support it's neck and head. As soon as I let go, it starts...

    Turkey seizure? Sick poult.

    Looking to add to my flock. Which breeds would you choose?

    We ended up getting one of the Cochin, one of the EE, and one of the Marans. That was my hubby's Opossum. Her name was Boog, and she was VERY sweet and well mannered. She died a couple of years ago.

    Looking to add to my flock. Which breeds would you choose?

    I have a small back yard flock (14 birds). I'm looking to add a few more to my flock. I already have Rhode Island Red, Black Astralorpes, Black Sexlink, Yellow Sexlink, Aracauna, Barred Rock, and Light Brahmas. Two of my flock are roosters (a Rhode Island Red and a Barred Rock Mix) I'm not...

    Have any of you noticed a real drop in egg production this year? My hens are just not producing like they have in the past (and I have added new hens every year, so it isn't just age). I've asked a couple of local friends and they are having the same thing. Is it weather? Or is there...

    The stupid sock made me mad. I do not like how it is coming out. I may just rip it now and save myself the trouble of finishing it. I moved on to a nice little crochet stocking cap. Finished that in one day, started another. I'm thinking with Christmas approaching, I'm going to start...

    Quote: It is knit in stockinette, one row really chunky yarn, one row REALLY fine yarn. Repeat. The fine yarn gives it the woven look because it is just holding the chunky rows together. ETA: clarification

    Good morning friends! I'm up and sipping my cuppa. My stomach and body seem to be doing better today. I certainly can't afford another day in bed, that is for sure! My house is scary trashed. DH was working on side jobs all day yesterday, so not much got done on the house. I honestly think EVERY...

    What breed am I?

    No worries on if they are "pure". Our chickens are all pets. He does look like the Freedom Ranger! Going to have to look into that breed! I was thinking perhaps the smaller one would be a silky or frizzle cross. At first I thought banty because he is so much smaller. After more thought...

    What breed am I?

    We just recieved two hens and two roosters from a friend. He was sold all of them in July 2011 as Road Island Red chicks. The larger roo is (evidently not ) definately a Road Island Red roo. He is beautiful. The two hens are obviously Road Island Red hens. However, this little guy was...

    If you had to live off just the food in your house...

    Ah, I feel so much better! We went and stocked up again last night. Now we could make it a good three months at least. I love the feeling of a stocked kitchen!

    Quote: Try knitting two socks at one time on two circular needles. Youtube it, it's great to have two socks the same size, done at the same time! That will be my next step. I would have done it this time, but didn't have two circulars in the same size that would work. I can't justify any...

    Quote: UG, living on the coast I am NOT happy to see fall coming in with such a vengeance! It usually means cold and storms are going to be in top shape this year. I guess it's time to start the storm prep already. We had a pretty good blow a couple of days ago, noticed some branches that...
