I believe my turkeys have pox and its running its course now. After healing up from this are they safe to butcher and eat?

Thanks for the info i'm going over there right now to check it out. I recently joined weight watchers at work program. I mainly do it for the support becuse i cheat to much on my own. But my coworkers are not very supportive, ugh so frustrating! So maybe this is just what I need to help...

I want some Turkeys.........anyone, anyone??? I would like a few young or even chicks.

Thanks, so would it be similar to beef or maybe deer?

I am pondering on purchasing an extra wether this year to feed out and butcher. I have never eaten goat meat before. So tell me what does it taste like and how does it cook up (greasy, lean etc)

Out of my 11 girls i have 5 "older ladies" that are molting then I have 6 girls that are 8 months old. They have all stopped laying! We are on 2 weeks now of no eggs. I can understand the Ladies who are molting but my girls? I thought someone was actually stealing my eggs but I ruled that...

I have a mouse problem too! Has anyone tried those sound things? You plug them in and they put off a high frequency sound.

I too have this problem and have been working with it all summer, i finally found DE so i cleaned the coop, dusted everything, added shavings, dusted the shavings, dusted the birds. I still had mites. So i have since dusted them with straight sevin dust and so far so good but now i have all...

Your roo is awesome looking! That is what I am expecting. I feel better knowing that it takes them a while to get their color. I have been a bit worried and that is one of the reasons I purchased these because I love the pics of SF that i have seen. Now I just need to replace his girlfriend...

can you post or email me a pic of these guys. I have a almost 5 month old roo and he looks nothing like i am expecting a salmon to look. Mine is just starting to crow and it's a sick sounding crow right now. Not as loud as the big boys yet.

Do you still have the brahmas and the rir roo?

Its just dirt, the hole can be filled back in. When you have access to a backhoe it's not that big of deal to dig a 12 ft hole. I think this "hole" thing is funny real or not!

Our fair is going on now and the chicken show is over. When showing a pair of hens they look for several things, condition of skin-feathers, breast size, breed standard and they want a matched set (two birds of same breed that are similar in apperance and size) My son was counted off because...

my son is taking a pair of buff pullets. From what I read they are to take pairs of birds. Our 4-H really has been no help to newbies. I have never shown birds before so I really am clueless in this area.

Looks like mine about the same age so i am hoping the same thing.
