    Broad Breast Bronze Poults

    There's tons of info around that Poults can go outside permanently around 8-10 weeks. I was wondering how old they could be for me to place them outside on warm sunny days, while in an enclosed cage. I've placed chicks outside during days like the ones I mention, as soon I knew they wouldn't...

    New Poults

    Thanks, we soon figured out they are Bronze once we realized blonde turkeys aren't a breed, atleast that we could find. We do plan on them being meat birds. As I've nicknamed em the holidays... kinda dark.

    New Poults

    Recently, about 2 month ago ago, I received several baby chickens. It had been a blast raiseing them. Unfortunately I've lost half of them to predators. A problem that has been fixed. Today I came home to a surprise from my mother, who felt bad about my loss. Our local farm and feed had some...

    Good news and bad news. for a temporary fix we have fixed a large net over the run. It cover the whole run. So that's a temporary. And I also found two chicks (I'm not sure the breed of one, but the other is a silkie) running in our yard. We assume they escaped during the attack. However our...

    I am new to keeping chicks, and unfortunately that has shown.

    A few months ago I got 7 chicks from a neighbor. The chicks did fine, they were a week old when I received them. Once their feathers came in we had put them in a coop outside. It's a small coop but was a lot of room for them. And unfortunately we hadn't put a roof/cover over the top. They have...
