    Pricing Live BB Turkeys

    Okay understood. I did a search on craigslist in my area. Southern Tier of NY, right on the PA boarder. I'm seeing BB Thanksgiving turkeys which I'm assuming means dressed for $4 a pound and another for $55-$90 depending on size. Personally I think you'd have to be out of your mind to pay...

    Got too many poults.

    I've sold almost 50 poults on Facebook this year. I'm not a Facebook expert but we found a local Facebook homesteader group in our county and we post there when availible. You can't put prices you say I have so many avalible PM me for info.

    New Coop

    I have 11 chickens (I think they're 3 to 4 months old) that I'm finally getting a coop for. They've gone from brooder to one of those larger outdoor cages and now their overez coop will be in place this weekend. I've raised turkey for a year and have had quail for 2 but this is my first...

    Spayed Leg

    Sorry I wasn't able to get a picture last night. The 1st one had to be culled. I think R2elk was right and it didn't have spayed leg. He was just dragging his legs around trying to pull himself with his wings. He wasn't eating or drinking and not culling would have been cruel. #2 spend the...

    Spayed Leg

    I'll take pics when I get home. No, but the first was a very long hatched and I almost thought I was going to have to. It piped almost 24 hours before zipping and the 2nd one was normal. At least I didn't notice it pipping at night and it hatched overnight.

    Spayed Leg

    I honestly have never seen this before. The first one is dragging both legs around behind him and just kind of kicking and spinning in a circle. The 2nd has legs going both directions and is flopping around. I was going cull the 1st one and then was in shock when the 2nd hatch like this.

    Spayed Leg

    I've hatched close to 50 poults this spring and have got all healthy poults until the last 2. In the last 2 days I've had 2 with spayed leg. These eggs were originally under a broody hen that I caught leaving the nest so I stole the eggs and put in the incubator. Could the hen leaving them...

    Angry broody hen

    Well yesterday I went out to check and when I went in the coop she left the nest. There were 5 under her but 2 were dead I'm not sure if they were crushed or what happened they were very dried out so I assume they had been there for a day or so. I figured it she was going to leave them I'd...

    Angry broody hen

    my intention is to try and sell the poults and my coop set up is shared with 6 other hens. I'm thinking it'll be safer for the poutls to brood them.

    Angry broody hen

    I have a hen that is currently setting, per my count she's on about day 26. She was kind of on and off for a couple days prior but I started counting when I noticed she wasn't roosting. She's in a corner of the coop that I've blocked her off so that the Tom can't get to her but other hens will...
