    ok i am trying to locate a large live trap. I have several foot traps out already. What is the best bait? All this is new to me. DH works lots and I have 4 kids so I can not keep a gun loaded by the back door (or I would have had it already MAYBE;)) This had been going on for a while and I am...

    poisioning foxes

    we have had foot traps out for a few days where I suspect the den is located. Nothing. I know that this fox is very comfortable around my farm as I have seen it on my patio at 3 in the morning while I was awake nursing the baby. I have gotten up very early and stood in our stock trailer...

    turkeys in the chicken coop

    I just moved my young pullets out of the brooder house and want to move some 10 day old turkeys in today. Should I disinfect with bleach or rocal D? I cleaned all the bedding out and it is sand under. Or are they fine to just go in with out disinfecting? thanks

    introducing the babies...UPDATE

    How should I go about introducing the goslings to the rest of the bunch? I would really like the adults to "adopt" them and start taking care of them to get them out of the brooder as I have a batch of turkeys that will need it very soon. The babies are 2 and 3 weeks old. Sofar we have gone...

    I have a potential problem...

    If it were mine I would leave them all alone but have the incubator ready and watch them very carefully. I just had a silkie get off her nest with her 6 babies and napped the other 10;) eggs which I have hatched 6 more from.

    Who is having trouble hatching goose eggs this year?

    to wash or not to wash?

    ok here we are again. On saturday I locked down 36 eggs. 45 to 50% humidity (because I couldn't get it any lower in this incubator. During the first 28 days humidity was about 35% in a different incubator. ) On Wednesday I had 4 pip through the shell. I have 2 hatched and doing really well...
