Ours not meat birds they are Royal Palms. Was going to try to breed them and see how that goes.

I find this funny. So when I let my turkeys out they love to follow me. If I pull up the driveway they come running but they do not want to be touched they just like to follow me. This normal?

Found this one to be very helpful for anyone else who is looking into doing it

Clipping the wings seems to be the best idea. My next question would be how often should I do it?

yeah I had a pair for about a year before the fox got them not 10 yards from the house. I could see it but I was afraid of the spread of the shotgun to hit the bird. 2 weeks later the fox it it anyways. Bird kept flying over the fence to due to wild toms. This time at the start had 2 hens and 2...

Right now at 85 it feels nice besides the humidity we had a lot of rain today. When it was 90 was bearable to work in the side. The run will be open during the day which will have shade anytime of the day and apples during the summer.

Both. They will have a run when I am not home and free range when I'm home. I have fox and coyotes that love my chickens went from 7 to 1 in less then a year letting them free range all the time so not doing that again.

Was hoping to have a roost in there today but did not happen due to weather. The chicks are currently in a store bought coop with my last older chicken. It is starting to fall apart was hoping to have them moved in by tomorrow may not happen. The Fan is not a computer fan though it does look...

So I'm finishing up my 10x14 metal shed. I added a fan should I have it blowing air in or out?
