    Why are baby Turkeys so hard to Raise?

    She hatched them in an old chicken hutch that was elevated and moved them herself outside. So I moved them inside because it was going to rain that night,

    Why are baby Turkeys so hard to Raise?

    Well, add me to the unsuccessful batch. My nargonsett hatched 16 of her 18 eggs 5 days ago. She did great as a mother, and I moved them inside to a pen we use for goat birthing. I now have 2 babys left. I watched them eat, and drink. Then a few hours later there will be another dead chick...

    *** OKIES in the BYC ***

    HOwdy all. Been a day or 2 since I posted Poultry doing fine, and we have migrated to pygmy goats. 7 born during snow storm. Someone should have planned that better... Now I'm in the hunt for some turkeys. Wife had lined up some royal plams, but money was tight, and we had to pass them up...

    I finally found something that seems to work well (so far). I have an old police scanner in the barn near the critters. It's set to local ham repeaters (radios) and police, and RL Jones airport. So it has voices, and chatter all night. I leave a light on in the barn too. Haven't lost a bird...

    Wish I could make it, but to be honest I don't NEED to now! Just brought home a truckload of birds from luv2bmemaw2. It was a good visit with Donna, and Claremore is a LOT closer for me than Blanchard. Getting home at 1am makes it tough to get up for church in the morning. And since I teach...

    Let's see. January was the last time I logged in! Life moves at a pace way too fast. Especially when you have 4 sons! I got online in the "chicken" mood because for once I have nothing scheduled tomorrow. Not sure how that happened? I just slumming for a bird auction/show/swap. I see one...

    OKLAHOMA AUCTIONS and SWAPS

    Ahhhhh. I had everything planned for Saturday to go to Afton. I just checked their website, and it was last weekend. Apparently 3rd weekend of the month means if Sunday happens to be the rd one too. AHHHH I am NOT happy at all. There was a vendor there last year with buff laced polish, and...

    We were at Blanchard too. There was an accident on the highway, so we were kinda late. We missed the Welsummer chicks selling, or we would have bought them. Sale was strange. Eggs bringing $10/doz but young bird of same breed couldn't get $1.50. I was going to buy the OE BB reds, but they...

    OKLAHOMA AUCTIONS and SWAPS

    I'll be at Blanchard. Look for a guy chasing 4 boys with a Mounds Fire Department hat on. IF there's any welsummers or nice polish, I'll be the guy with my hand up!

    I'll be at Prague Friday. If anyone has nice white silkie hens, welsummer hens, or polish, I'd like to know as we will be in the hunt for those. Shoot me a PM if you expect to be there and will hove those birds. JimD

    Anyone going to prague Friday? Looking to pickup a white silkie hen or two, and a couple of welsummer hens. And probably a trio of Buff Laced )or something similar) polish again. We're doing good on eating eggs, so it's time to get the breeding program back in shape.

    OK, as one who travels all over the country to help with such things, here's my take. Chances of acutally getting hit by tornado - very low (although I've been hit 2 times personally) And you can easily hide from them. Chances of getting hit with huricane. If you are a coastal state 100%. Ice...

    Looks like myself and 2 of the boys are planning to go to Jones. I usually have a "Mounds Fire Department" hat on. I'll admit though that I'm not real out going, but don't be afraid to introduce yourself. JimD

    Been too long since I've been on here! Don't even want to try and tell what all has happened but suffice it to say, life was full. Anyway, We made it this far through the winter with 1 roo and 1 hen Welsummer. Would like to find more hens as I built a super-delux trios of pens for them, and...
