    Cackle Surprise box

    I'm still in the ID group and they were saying that day, they came up short on turkeys and ducks (even just for regular orders) so they weren't able to tuck any into the surprise boxes, but I think they tried to make up for it by including a couple of rarer chicken chicks where they could...

    Guineas + Treatments

    I could definitely see that happening out here, although nobody's claimed him or come looking for him despite pretty extensive efforts to find his owner. :( Poor little guy. Lots of predators out this way!

    Guineas + Treatments

    Yep, I've already read up on the basics and know they have similar nutritional requirements to gamebirds and turkeys. :D I've had the keets for about a month and a half now, and have had keets (although not adults) in the past. I just want to treat the new feral addition as part of my standard...

    Guineas + Treatments

    Can guineafowl receive the same treatments (antibiotics, mite & lice treatments, coccidiosis treatment, etc.) as chickens and turkeys? Is there anything I need to know? I received a few keets as a gift this summer and am also getting a local feral guineafowl pawned off on me, and I definitely...

    June to July Turkey Hatch-a-Long!

    The last of my poults for sale should be going to their new home today! And if she backs out yet again, I have got SEVERAL people asking to be next in line for them. It's wild the demand I had for them. I got in a Cackle surprise box yesterday and now my spare time over the coming week will be...

    Cackle Surprise box

    I'm in the FB group for the surprise box, which is run by employees, and they've said that half the box is sexed females (which of course is not 100%) and the other half is straight-run. What you get is dependent on what's hatching on that date since it's made up of "extras," but they make an...

    Turkey- Pheasant Cross?

    I'm dying for an update!

    B/B/S Ameraucana Questions!

    Here you can see her with two of the other blues! It's crazy. I'm not sure, maybe she will grow in some splash later. Edit - Okay, a friend of mine says she may not feather in with any splash until after her first molt. Interesting! (I have obviously never had splash before.)

    B/B/S Ameraucana Questions!

    I just thought I'd update this now that they're older! The black is black, the typical blues and atypical blue all seem to be blue, and the pale one isn't feathering in splash at all but looks like a lavender -- very, very, very pale blue-ish color and no dark edges on the feathers, no white...

    June to July Turkey Hatch-a-Long!

    Two didn't make it. :( But of the remaining 18, it looks like we've got 6 different colors/patterns! We are planning to keep 6 and sell the rest. I had all of them reserved, but one of my buyers backed out.

    June to July Turkey Hatch-a-Long!

    Yes! I am SO excited, and the poults are super adorable. Honestly, I can't believe that so many hatched! 😅

    June to July Turkey Hatch-a-Long!

    Oh my goodness so this weekend was INTENSE but the hatch is about over, I'll be moving the remaining birds and probably stuffing them under a broody chicken I've got because I'm out of space in the brooder! 20 out of 22 turkey eggs hatched (one sadly died after pipping) 4 out of 5 chicken eggs...

    5 pips!

    June to July Turkey Hatch-a-Long!

    AHHHHHHH It's two days early but I've got at least 4 turkey eggs that have visibly pipped!

    June to July Turkey Hatch-a-Long!

    Oh, that's awesome, I'm glad she's taking to them! We started lockdown this afternoon, and all 22 turkey eggs and 5 chicken eggs were looking good! I think I may have a cool spot because the ones directly under the fan seemed a little less developed, but I am pretty sure a few of the other eggs...
