    Free Cat in Gainesville area

    She seems young, maybe 2 or 3 and she's ear tipped so I assume she's spayed. Not sure about how she is around chickens, but she loves to sit and watch my rats.

    Free Cat in Gainesville area

    I live in Gainesville, Florida near Santa Fe College and found a cat almost two months ago that my neighbor lost the day she was moving out. I went to the office and had them contact her but never heard back and she didn't have a microchip so she's been staying with us since. We've been trying...

    Red feet and beak

    I just came home from college for the weekend and noticed that my bb turkey has very red legs and feet (possibly swollen) and an equally red nose. She's on the older side, about 3 years old, is currently broody and besides the redness seems otherwise fine but I know birds hide things until it's...

    HELP! Hen eating eggs

    I got fertilized eggs for my bb hen to hatch and she took to them right away everything was looking great. But then, 3 days laters we found 3 broken eggs scattered around, so I picked them up and assumed she accidentally broke them getting in and out of the nest. But then, the next morning she...

    Turkey vs. Ducks

    So I'm getting ready to buy fertilized eggs for my hen to sit on, but I'm not sure if I should get turkeys or ducks. So, I originally wanted to get turkeys for her to hatch and raise and then sell all but one or maybe two depending on how many survive. However, I recently discovered some...

    Turkey Eggs

    I don't have a Tom so I was thinking of getting some already fertilized turkey eggs and seeing if my hen will hatch them by herself. Is this a good idea or should I stick to an incubator? Also, is there any way that I can help to improve the chances of hatching? I would be getting the eggs...

    Looking for a Tom

    Does anyone know where I could buy a Tom? I live in the Tampa bay area and have a hen but would love to get either a Bourbon Red Heritage Tom or a Royal Palm Tom. Don't know where to start looking for one though.

    Weight loss

    She is a broad breasted but we have her as a pet. I exercise her as often as I can but I get really busy. However, I do feed her 2x a day, should I cut it down maybe?

    Turkey friend?

    I was thinking of getting my turkey a new poultry friend, since she only has my dogs to play with, and was thinking of getting a silkie mix but was not sure if that would be good considering she is so big and silkies are so small. Also, should I get more than one silkie if I did get one?

    What to feed a pet turkey?

    I just recently got a pet broad breasted turkey, she's a little over 6 months now and I don't know what to feed her. We were hoping to use her for eggs and then probably breed her eventually so my teacher recommended an egg layer type of food that she uses for chickens, but I'm not sure because...
