    Toms raiding the nest, eating eggs

    Thanks for the reply! I'm fairly certain my Royal Palm is culprit... maybe I'll separate him and see how it goes!

    Toms raiding the nest, eating eggs

    This is our second year with turkeys, and our female went broody in the flower garden's tall grass 🤦‍♀️ I'm keen to let her be because she's in a protected area, but our turkeys free range and the past few days I've caught our tom's eating her clutch. 😬 It's been about less than a week since she...

    Sexing day old chick

    Hey there! We've got our first chick from an incubator hatch we did, and wondering what sex this might be?

    Incubator broken, day 20!

    Incubator broken, day 20!

    Hi there! Still relatively new here, and I've had 7 eggs incubating the last 20 days, 3 of which continued development along the process. One bantam chick hatched earlier yesterday, and I still have 2 in the incubator (no pip yet). Alongside this, one of my Bantam hens went broody about 3 days...

    Will definitely keep that in mind for our redesign! I've not actually seen a hawk in the area since we've moved here. Same with other animals actually now that I think of it. The only constant wildlife I've ever seen here are two Sandhill Cranes that continue to visit daily (the past 5 years).

    Hey there! 👋 New Member!

    Coop is temporary at the moment, I promise!! We are building out a larger one if the weather can cooperate. :) Will post pictures as soon as it's complete for feedback! As for the run, it's lined with long metal stakes, every 4 metal squares on every side (about 100+), but will be redesigned...
