    We had a respiratory disease about 1 year ago. Started off treating/isolating a couple that showed signs with Duramycin. Soon however, it was spreading rapidly, so we treated the entire flock, and all was well. Since then, at least 6 times we have introduced new birds, either hatched by...

    Baby turkey questions

    Ok, so our poults (BBW's and BBB's) are about 5-6 weeks old now. Ran out of first bag of gamebird startena, went back to the feed store and asked for more. Surprisingly, she sold me a different feed "Purina Turkey Starter" in a brown paper bag with a drawing of a turkey on the big. Anyone...

    How do I go about processing my first Rooster?

    We just processed 5 extra roos yesterday. We've always eaten our extra roos, and they have been WAY better meals than store bought, factory farmed chicken. I was apprehensive about a year ago, when I processed my first. The first one is the most difficult, and they get easier after that. Go...

    Help! found rabbit in yard. She's having babies now, what to do???

    We have never had a rabbit before. A few days ago, a rabbit showed up in our yard, so we gave her a cage at night. This morning, she had a baby under her when I went out to feed her. We brought her and the baby in the cage into the house, and have a heat lamp over the baby. What specifics do...

    Muscovy, the underground black market duck.. a rant

    I'm experienced with chickens, but not ducks. I've been wanting Muscovies so maybe this will motivate me. How many ducks to one drake, or do they pair up as couples? If ducklings are ordered from a hatchery, will the ducks still be broody (with chickens most likely not)? Also, will the ducks...

    This past year we had 2 of our 3 Black Sumatra hens go broody, each one twice! Also had a hatchery RIR go broody at the same time as one of the Sumatras
