    That is a lovely feeder system! I have all of my birds together in a good sized field with a few pans and buckets and such. I really need to make something like this. You bought that from TSC or the likes right? Thanks for the idea. And I really liked your other pics. :)

    threatened by a turkey?

    I have 12 Bourbon Reds, 1 full grown tom and I'm not sure how many juvenile ones yet. We've had them for about 4 months now and I've never had them act aggressively toward any of us, even my 18 month old or my 6 yr old. The tom fluffs up and dances but he never faces us and never charges us...

    I think everyone's trying to take advantage of the nice weather. I'm wishing I had made those camping plans now! This is the perfect week for outdoor activities.

    Need advice losing poults!

    My poults are about 10 weeks old. I've been watching for yellow poo, so far none. The one tha5 died had a little bit, but its been a few days now and no signs in the others. (Knock on wood) Maybe by confining them I've removed them from the issue? The little black dot on the other one is healing...

    Need advice losing poults!

    I've been looking for yellow poop and have found none. Hopefully, that means it wasn't blackhead. If the back bump on her little face is a sinus infection, should I just let that go? Everyone ate and drank and slept well today. Thanks for the info, hopefully, I won't have to put it to good...

    Need advice losing poults!

    I'm wondering that myself. The first one that died we have no idea what happened there, but I'm thinking cat. They've been wandering around the whole yard and not just their field, we found the whole little flock in the garden one morning and they were on their way to the driveway when DH and...

    Need advice losing poults!

    I'm in need of advice. I've lost 2 poults in the last 2 days, one to animal attack and the other just looks like it fell over and died in the yard. I noticed another one has a large black growth on its face next to the beak. I've been able to get 4 of the remaining 8 into the baby pen we built...

    We have some blue ones that we picked up on eBay cheap. They worked great until the goat started sleeping in the coop and broke half of the system. The downside of them is that they would get dirty and were hard to clean out without a sponge and its a chore to keep a sponge around out here. We...

    This is an excellent piece of advice! Now that I've had my birds for awhile, I'm wishing I had gotten some from a local breeder instead. My turkeys are from a local breeder and they're handling their first summer far better than my chickens did last year. It may cost a little more, but its worth...

    I guess its a good thing we have a bumper crop of cantaloupe this season. I LOVE it! My girls get to use the airsoft pistol. We want a 410/22 Rossi combo for them, but its not in the budget yet. Grammie's talking about getting them each (save for the 1 yo) their own for Christmas though. I...
