Here is a picture I snuck in their coop. 🥰🥰🥰 I will get another of her back tomorrow. I just love the colors. I am a sucker for grey birds, but the buff with the grey is just so great. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I have one that is…. A teenager? She is very cute still! I will post pictures of her tomorrow. 😂😂😂😂😂

I have some of the cutest little Easter Eggers. Their mother is an Easter Egger, and father is a Tolbunt Polish. I have been thinking of trying to breed the cute babies to have more and more of this specific coloration. I have read some things that discourage invreeding and some that say...

Do the poultry shears cut through the neck well? I have broken down a chicken with a pair of poultry shears in the past, and it worked really well. I don’t currently own any now though…. But I will have to pick some up!

I think I will definitely get this, and the victorinox boning knife. I want to find a nice heavy clever too, but they all seem kind of whimpy. 😂 I need something that’ll really break through the necks on our turkeys.

Ohh okay. I get it now. I will try it still then and see what we get. Thank you! 😀😀😀

Though after watching some videos, I am not 100% sure there is this level of pus. I can still see her little eye ball through the wetness.

I don’t have any other symptoms, but what is going on with her eye. I had also thought possibly some sort of respiratory illness, but since she doesn’t seem to have anything else going on, i ruled it out. I have been able to get some pus out, but I will try to press it out as well and see what...

I just started saline rinses 2 days ago. Which has been helpful getting the medicine in. I will continue doing what we are doing then and making sure to get it in twice a day. We have been giving her nutridrench which has vitamin A in it…. So I will keep doing that too. Thank you for your comment!

This started possibly about two weeks ago. this eye is swollen and goopy, the other is just fine. I have tried Veterycin, and terramycin and neither seem to do much. The Veterycin is helping me get the eye open to clean out some of the gunk. We had just recently moved her i to a new pin with...

Hey all! What are the best knives for butchering birds? Best for the value. We range from quail to full grown turkey. The turkey’s are obviously the toughest…. So looking for the best tools for the trade. Thank you!

We have Tennessee Reds, and they are so easy! Maybe it’s just that they are used to us now, but we never had health issues with them, they were always very calm and tame. People say they are super aggressive, but never had that issue either. I can pick them up and cuddle them and they are just...

They are We are working on getting them separated, so there are less in the pin together. Looking at 6-8 per pin. And we put them back in the starter just in case the protein amount is too low. Thank you for your comment! Hopefully everything calms down now. For such a little bird, they are...

It is a dust bath. They get new clean water every day, and their food is checked every day. we put in a few more places for them to get off the wire and added tree limbs and sticks and twigs for them to hide in. They certainly seem much less anxious now that they can hide in it.

Okay, I will replace their food with the starter our store has. It’s 28%. And get them a few more places to hide in. Thank you for your suggestions!
