    Turkey has decided to come in the house ...

    I know someone whose turkey hen steals clean laundry out of the laundry basket when she is hanging it. LOL

    Best feed to finish off heritage breeds? (And new to turkeys)

    I got my turkeys (a pair of Norfolk Blacks from what I can tell) just over a week ago. They are this year's hatch as well. I clipped their wings and they have been free-ranging in our 4 1/2 acre fenced area. They made themselves right at home and have even put themselves up in their pen each...

    Problems with neighbors

    We have tried rectifying each of his complaints, it always ends up being something new afterwards every time. I truly don't even know if the duck actually went through the fence, there are no signs of it at all, no footprints since it was wet out when this alledgedly happened, and I couldn't see...

    AHHHH!!!! Anyone else have problems with neighbors???????????????

    He's not going to go back to work, because he decided to retire and live off of his wife's income from Wal-Mart. We already have a ton of vegetation covering the fenceline since it is in the woods, this duck loves thick brush. Since we have two shared lot lines of 1000' total, it is just too...

    Problems with neighbors

    I think it is just the female duck that went through the fence. She had never done it before Friday, I am outside enough to know what my animals are up to. He is constantly calling about something or another though. As soon as we fix one of his complaints, he comes up with another. My hubby was...

    AHHHH!!!! Anyone else have problems with neighbors???????????????

    He has complained about the guineas several times also. We called the Sheriff's Dept to see if there was anything we had to worry about and they said he didn't have a leg to stand on. I keep everything squeeky clean too, so there is no odor at all with any of our animals, no room for complaints...

    Problems with neighbors

    It is perfectly legal for me to have whatever kind of poultry/animals I want with my zoning. We also have perimeter fencing around our entire property. Our birds range freely within our fencing, we have ducks, geese, guineas, and chickens. I have a neighbor that is constantly harrassing us...

    Found: Boer doeling

    A lady down the road from me saw a Boer doeling standing next to the highway. She brought it home, and left me a note to call her about a goat. I don't have a place to quarantine a goat, so I brought her hay, minerals, feed, and some probios. She is willing to hold onto it until we find the...

    Whoo hoo, I hear Muscovy eggs peeping **Got 6 total**

    Well, I ended up with 6 out of 11 to hatch. 2 hatched Monday, 1 on Tuesday, 2 on Wednesday, and 1 today. I though this was interesting considering that last Sunday was Day 35. Disappointing compared to my chicken egg hatches, but not too bad for my first attempt at duck eggs, especially Muscovy...

    Whoo hoo, I hear Muscovy eggs peeping **Got 6 total**

    My temperature has been stable from day 1. Now that they are supposed to be hatching today, it decided to be 65 outside which made our house warm up by 4 degrees. The house was a constant 70 degrees until today. My incubator rose to 102.5 while I was at the grocery store. It was 101.4 when I...

    Whoo hoo, I hear Muscovy eggs peeping **Got 6 total**

    I do have shelf liner stuff in there to keep it clean. I also have a couple of bottles bottled water in there. I have found in the past that those help keep the temps stabilized when opening and closing the incubator when I would turn the eggs. My temps only drop about a degree then when turning...

    Whoo hoo, I hear Muscovy eggs peeping **Got 6 total**

    I have a little giant still air. I have never had to worry about getting the humidity high enough with chicken eggs, so I didn't realize there would be a problem getting it up past what I needed for them. I have an indoor outdoor weather station that measures humidity and temp, and you can see...

    Whoo hoo, I hear Muscovy eggs peeping **Got 6 total**

    I put 11 Muscovy eggs in my incubator on November 28th. 1 died sometime after the 7th day, one more died sometime after the 25th day. I candled them at 25 days only because I thought I possibly had some Khaki Campbell eggs too, but I didn't. My temp has been VERY consistent, but my humidity has...
