    Turkey with Puncture Wounds

    Hey all, My turkey has two jagged puncture wounds and I think they are definitely stitch worthy. However, after extensively calling around, no clinic within a two hours drive will see a turkey (not surprised, but this is maddening). And since the car is in the shop, my insufferable ride isn't...

    7 chicks - 7 weeks old - pullet or cockerel?

    Assuming that #5 & #6 are both Betty Sue; That is not a pullet, but you knew that as a first timer? Also, I believe that barred rock is a male, only "his/her" chin is not visible. Update in a week or so please (and tag me so I can check it out) I am impressed. (and relieved that some...

    You are correct; she is a female. Probably on a lower rung of the hierarchy though. Nicely loose feathered & filled out. That hen is a beauty ;-) _twilia;-)

    Of course. I understand that perspective, thank you for mentioning that:) Too extreme in either direction is dangerous. There is a balance to reality, and I find that respected Truth by using our critical thinking skills, curiosity, and being fresh about traditions, or preconceptions. *sigh...

    Anxious Chicken

    Seriously, I think it would be closer to reality "humanize" an animal than to act like they are robotic;-) Though like I said, humans only have a few actually unique traits that differ from any animals... Mind you @BlindLemonChicken, not to be too frank or directed at you even, I do get it ;-)...

    Review by 'Twilia' in article 'Rooster behavior modification'
