Gender unknown at this point... he/she is looking for a name (was born on my grandsons birthday). This cutie was just days old in this photo and is now 3 weeks old.
He is a bronze turkey and I am sure he probably is a meat turkey. He was actually bought to be put on the dinner table, although I fell in love with him and his personality... I do not do well with raising food.. .lol We actually figured we would keep him and his "girlfriend" and raise the...
Hello everyone!
In the past you have been wonderful with all your great words of wisdom on my silkies, polish, and giant cochins. But today I actually have a problem with my Tom turkey. I am hoping you can help even tho he is not a chicken!
My BIG baby is not wanting able to walk. He does...
I have one silkie that is continuously laying for me and when going out this afternoon to collect the eggs, I found a surprise. There was an egg about the size of those malted milk ball eggs that you see at easter time. Is this a fluke thing that has happened or does this happen often?

This morning his head was being held up a bit easier and ate like a pig when I...
Yes, I have asked my son not to let them back on the property if they can not behave themselves. The problem is, the chasing was weeks ago and the roo is showing signs now.
A crook neck does sound like what may be happening. Although, I do not give much scratch because they would rather have...
Yes, I agree they should not be chased. This was done when I was not home and believe me it was dealt with when I got home.
But, the chasing was weeks ago and that was what I thought happened to the hen.
I am the one that owns the silkie roo that is showing weird signs that has been posted yesterday.
The roo, after bringing him in the house and looking him over better. He seems to have issues holding up his head, some what like a head tilt. Reminds me of a rabbit with pasturella.
The roo did...
