I have a turkey poult that's the same thing has happened too but the racoon did the amputating for me. Poor thing. I have been treating her and she's been eating and drinking well.

I have one doing the exact same thing. Whatever happened to yours?

Yay! Those look just like mine! Thank you! I searched online but didn't find anything.

Sorry about the size of these pics. I don't know how to make them any smaller. :hide Anyway I was given a dozen eggs by a friend whose sister has an npip certified farm/hatchery and they were supposed to be either golden laced or blue laced wyandottes. He couldnt remember for sure. However...

Okay I have a homemade wood cabinet style incubator that I want to seal. I dug around and all I have on hand is Thompsons deck and Raincoat oil based with the antimildew stuff in it. I'm not really sure about using either one of these because I'm afraid they'll poison the eggs. Will they be...

My closest neighbor threatened to call the police if she caught one of my chickens in her yard! You are very lucky!

My sebbie got it's egg crushed by it's momma stepping on it after it pipped(at least I think that is what happened-I know she left the nest to eat) and then it looked like she nibbled on the egg some. Anyway I checked her before I went to bed to make sure everything was going okay and found it...

I am in north central arkansas. Our river is up, but not nearly as much as I had expected. Your description of your place sounds like DH's uncles camp we spent the weekend at in South Louisiana on the river swamps. In by boat and out by boat with alligators under the porch and fishing on it...

I have a good one. We used to live a mile from the bus stop so I had to drive them to it every morning and pick them up in the evening. There was only one other house anywhere on that road. Anyway, one evening I had just pulled in the road from town shopping to wait for them to get off the...

Maybe she just ran off in a panic and will turn up somewhere. Is it a rural area, or do you have nearby neighbors that she might end up at? Hope you find her safe.

A hawk will kill and leave. BUT it is NOT typical. I had a mostly enclosed pen with a section of top open and the rest covered containing about 30 barred rock and EE chicks about 3 weeks old. A hawk got in there and killed 17 of them. I heard the racket and looked out and saw the dang thing...

I am unafraid to show my ignorance - what the heck is SS? Super Silkies Silly String Supremely Stupid Short Spuds Just wondering cause I hate not knowing things. Sufficient Self It is one of the sister sites! LOL Look at the bottom of the page and you will find a link.

Wow it's been a while since I've been to BYC. A couple of years at least. I usually hang out at SS, but thought I would wander over here for a while. I am glad the Arkansas thread has taken off so much! Now I don't feel so lonely! We have had well over a foot of rain here in the last couple...

Okay so about 2 years ago I got a pair of geese right after laying season. Male and female for sure. Well I kept them and the next spring she laid 2 eggs by June. In June we moved to louisiana. I knew the stress alone would make her stop laying, even though my chickens and turkeys didn't...

Thank you!
