I'll take a picture when I get back to the farm. I was reading through some of the turkey stuff but it's so much to absorb I was hoping I could get some advice on time to make some difference to him if i can.
My Tom turkey isn't doing so well. I thought a while back, when my chickens started to molt, that my turkey had also started to molt. He was acting funny, shy, he wasn't going out into the courtyard anymore or gobbling. I noticed he would huddle under the roosts and I thought it was maybe a...
This was her progress standing...i kept her on really soft cloth and it seemed like her leg was maybe just really stiff and starting to unlock or heal. :(
I was doing really good with her. She was even starting to use her other leg, and I got food poisoning and left het care to my fiance. He said everything was going good until that effing when a cow kicked the door of the barn and he thinks startled it to the point that it passes? I don't know...
I had a buddy in with it for an evening, the little chick seemed to want to get away from it for some reason. All be it, the chick I brought for a buddy seemed to gave some delay issues I made the choice to take the other chick out. I think I will bring it a buddy but not leave it in there. I...
I've been reading a couple of the threads Before posting my own, ill be honest, I almost feel more comfortable not examining it or splinting it. I don't know that I can feel something so tiny and say its broken or supposed to be that way. I almost think the chick cup would be something in more...
This is what my farm sounds right around 11 loudest, until like 2. Of course their is always a few early starters, late in the day layers, but with over 600 egg laying chicken and their roosters, I hear this song a lot. And no, they aren't always successful at laying eggs, I think its...
Had a lot of chicks shipped, and in setting up the brooder I didn't notice a tiny crack between the divider door where I keep my young turkey hen and two bantam roosters, and when I came back to check the chicks I had 4 huddled in the corner, 1 dead by the door and this or one face into the...

Why was I under some weird impression brahma was a big chicken? The chicken in picture 2 is one of the smallest roosters in that coop, only the polish is smaller.
Im sorry I didn't mean golden buff was an actual breed, was just kinda a short that she's a buff Orpington. Just her color, so we've been calling her and her sister golden buffs..
I'm not trying to insinuate I've got some top notch show quality birds here. I've got hatchery birds, so I didn't...
Im not so sure I agree with this assessment completely. I was pretty sure that the golden one was a golden buff, from when she was given to us with her sister. Not a crossbreeds at all. Neither is the rooster is in the last picture, he came from a hatchery and was incubated as a project and...
Cool, I was pretty sure she was a golden buff. I've got two of them. I was pretty sue he was a polish in the 3rd.
Can anyone tell about the 1st. I thought she was a polish hen with like, a frizzle gene? Is that how that works?
We have 4 or 5 breeds of chicken we intended to raise, and because were a grandfathered farm, we're often the got spot of a lot of surrendered chickens. So, while I'm doing my best to learn to identify breeds, I haven't been able to get my hands of a copy of standard of perfection yet, and...
