Hey! I've raised chickens for off and on for probably 10 years, but want to start with turkeys.. How different are they overall and is there anything I should know before I start? I have 50 acres and thought of letting them roam as we have random predators on our camera VERY RARELY (for now)...
I had some people making fun of our family for how lovey our kids are with the chickens. We were laughed at for treating "livestock" like "babies", please tell me that other people love their chickens this much too. I know we can't be the only chicken crazy folk out here!!!
Does anyone have a photo to share and some info on their homemade waterer? Or your heating choice for winter to keep water from freezing? I'd love to see pictures!
I have two chickens with bare necks, suppose they are starting to molt or that this is agression from other chickens? Is there any way to keep chickens from kicking one other hen out of the flock or is this just part of it?
