    Wild Turkey

    She's very friendly..or at least she was: Last night, the wild in her came out and she decided to fly high up into the trees to roost: This morning she had no head :( RIP Turkey In the Springtime, I'll try to find a pair of domesticated turkeys.

    It's free range so we don't "keep" it. Sophie the Maremma livestock guardian dog protects it like she does the rest of the flock.

    Back in August, our dog brought us a turkey chick. We raised it with a new batch of day old chicks we had just received. It's November now and the thing has decided to stay with our chicken/duck flock but I'm wondering if you all can tell me if it's a hen or tom?

    We have 4 females and a drake and they are huge. The drake is breeding the females or at least going through the motions. Is this earlier than usual? Thanks.

    New Pigeon

    The only sounds I've ever heard him make are when he's eating and the chickens or tweety birds get too close. It sounds like he is growling at them. Listen close to this video and you can hear him: https://goo.gl/photos/yfNUvatQdPXvk2ra9

    I've only had them in since 10pm last night but they just eat and drink and it looks more like they tolerate each other but that's about it.

    What do the toes tell me about babies/age?

    What does the black eye mean? He has one of each; one black and one orange like hers.

    We did the tail test and "his" tail goes down and "her" tail def. goes up. Hopefully that's a good sign.

    Ok, I got him a known girlfriend. Now that I have them side by side, does everyone still agree he is a he? Also, I'm told these are Rock Doves. Is that just a fancy name for pigeon?- Thanks; my 13 y.o. son is over the moon with his new birds :) P.S. I'm told I can pluck the primary feathers and...

    The toes looked even.

    We did the "tail up or down" test and it holds the tail level and drops it down so that would indicate boy. The pelvic distance seems close together. I'm guessing a young male.

    This bird is just a bit larger than a dove.

    I haven't had pigeons for almost 40 years. This beauty showed up and adopted us a few days ago and I need to know if it is male or female. My gut says female with the small head and feet but I'm not sure. - Thanks https://goo.gl/photos/PrfTdJnJAM7BRr4c9

    Chickens ate mice!

    I lifted up a sheet of plywood in my barn and there was a nest of 2 dozen baby mice just starting to crawl. The chickens took one look and it was like a shark feeding frenzy. I assume the eggs will still be good to eat the next few days, right? lol
