    Turkey mating my hen.

    Well, apparently it IS possible... http://www.messybeast.com/genetics/hybrid-birds.htm "TURKEY-CHICKEN HYBRIDS There have been attempted crosses between domestic turkeys (Meleagris gallapavo) and chickens (Warren and Scott, 1935). According to Gray (1958) in 12 studies no hybrids hatched...

    June Hatch a Long

    Time for me to chime in with my feathery zoo! :) I've got a bunch of eggs in the 'bators right now, and I've been going strong with hatches a few times each week since early spring. Just this last Friday and Sunday I hatched 14 Jumbo Coturnix and 6 Red Golden Pheasant (and one surprise Yellow...

    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Anyone know of anyone else (aside from me and my eggs in the 'bator) who breeds (bantam or standard) Phoenix or Ohiki in Washington?

    How big is the turtle (hard to tell from the pictures)? In any case, I'd get him away from the chickens ASAP. Snappers LOVE meat and fowl, so maybe it is indeed trying to hunt the chickens on land if his pond is running low on food. PS: I've heard many horror stories back home in Florida about...

    Are turkeys louder then roosters?

    Although... actually thinking more about the issue of males and turkey fertility... aren't female turkeys one of the oddball creatures that can occasionally display parthenogenesis?

    Are turkeys louder then roosters?

    Birds do not need a male around to lay eggs, however they would need a male around to lay *fertile* eggs. I would definitely do some reading up on turkeys and other fowl before getting any! I personally think its fun to study up on and learn about all of the different breeds of fowl, their...

    Peacock x Chicken hybrid.

    OK, now that is just a cool looking bird. What's it's height and weight, and does it make any vocalizations?

    FOGHORN LEGHORN~ "Lookit here son, I say, I say son, did ya see that hawk after those hens? ....

    Those are food-begging 'KLEE KLEE KLEE KLEE KLEE KLEE' sounds; they cut that out after mom and dad stop feeding them and start laying the hammer down about getting their own food when they are hungry. The parent birds are the ones that make the classic 'hawk sound' of 'KEEEEERRRRrrrrrrrrr' and...

    Oh nice shot CaCO! That's a juvenile red tail sunning him or herself (sometimes, just like chickens do, they lay completely flat while sunning... Like a wide, flat hawkie umbrella). Juvenile red tails are sweet as pies to work with and have great personalities, and are quite easily my favorite...
