    What Do I Have?

    So I googled egg colors and came up with this: I'm thinking RIR and Andalusian based on colors? Need more info on what those chickens look like.

    What Do I Have?

    Greetings! I have been given 3 chickens. Our kids have named them: Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, Mrs. Gorf, and Miss Sparkle We have eggs already. The chickens are reported as being 3 years old. Any idea of what breeds we have? I'm clueless. I've done turkeys many times but chickens are a new thing...

    Poult on it's back

    My hubby said one of our poults was kipping on his back the other day. No idea why. The others were starting to peep at it and prance around it a bit, as if to say: "Dude, what u doing?"

    Ok experienced turkey folk I need your wisdom I'm new and ended up with a turkey!!

    Ok experienced turkey folk I need your wisdom I'm new and ended up with a turkey!!

    My friend was raising ducks a few years ago and ended up with a free turkey. She gave the turkey the same food the ducks were getting and no problems. She is now raising 4 turkeys and no ducks. Her first turkey got over 35 pounds dressed out. from the photos, I would say it was also a Spanish Black.

    First Turkeys, Bourbon Reds

    We've got a pair of bourbon reds along with three other pairs (three other breeds) one of our bourbon reds is really a bully. he/she keeps taking food from other poult's mouths. Not cool. Sure hope it gets out of his system quickly.
