    Naked neck babies!

    I just bought 5 turken chicks who look just hatched, and to be honest a little weird. :) I was just wondering, do these chicks need any special care? Unfortunately the clerk at the store didn't seem to know anything about them saying they were half turkey and half chicken. So any extra advice...

    Lucky red isn't recovering

    Sorry I've been out of data for a while, Lucky actually has been much better she stopped limping and is out and about with the other ladies. I didn't do anything but I did check out her foot and she still has a little black dot but it's not hard. After talking to the old owner about it he said...

    Lucky red isn't recovering

    I think this may be my best bet for Lucky if she has it, she doesn't really have any sign that I could see other then tiny black dot on the bottom of her foot. No swelling anyway, but after seeing this I know Hazel has a huge bubble looking thing on her leg and had since we got her.

    Wow they try to breed with chickens?! O.O I do not want that to happen. Yikes... Do you know about what age this happens? My birds are still pretty small but I don't want to lose any of them. I'm hoping to have a separate coop for my turkeys this summer but if they Breed young I'll build them...

    Lucky red isn't recovering

    So my Rhode island red "lucky red" has been limping for weeks. She's laying but hasn't left the coop and isn't "broody" when she leaves the coop she has to hop on one foot. I've tried setting her in warm water checked her foot visually but she won't let me touch it. How long should it take for...
