    Blue slate turkey poult question, with lots of pics

    My thing in turkeys are Slates. I have other varieties, but will always raise the Slates. I realize this is an old thread, but in case anyone else wanted to know sometime... The greyish ones with the white faces are Splash/Slates. The ones which are all lighter will be Self Blue/Lavenders...

    refrigerated eggs for hatching

    I found a neighbor had duck eggs and since we have a world's supply of snails and millions of Banana Slugs here at the farm (and I raise heritage vegetables for seed), I decided I needed ducks. I don't bring live chicks in unless it is from a certified source (NPIP), usually incubate fertile...

    What is your elevation? Many times it can cause heart failure. Especially with Cornish X and and the so-called "Nicholas White" turkeys. Cedar

    Anyone order from Farwest hatchery out of Oregon??

    I stopped by there today on my way back home from a doctors appointment, as we did not get a call after placing our order a week and a half ago.

    Chicken attacked by dog

    ...bee hives in Wisconsin and my bf's hives in the Corvallis, Oregon area. Both are raw and both are filtered (gotta get rid of the bee wings and such *ugh*). Like I said, before a couple years ago I would have said BS and 'you are going to kill your animal'. Most of the time I still do the...

    Chicken attacked by dog

    I have been a vet tech for 20+ years and normally until the last couple of years I would have shaved it with a #40 blade, cleaned it with Betadine/Povodine, antibiotics etc. But the new thing I have been doing is proven thus far on for a stray cat who had mastitis and sloughed off 4 of her...

    Anyone order from Farwest hatchery out of Oregon??

    I know Terry and have met him several times. There has been some health issues on top of starting out, but I think all is better now. He is a really nice guy and seems to have a true love of birds. He has been hatching for others for a long time and is very knowledgeable. Cedar

    Greetings from soggy, rainy Oregon!!!

    It is quite beautiful and SOOOOO quiet there. It will be a challenge however as there is alot of wildlife who I am sure would love a poultry dinner, not to mention cougar and bear. But we will have to work out a compromise... like leave my livestock alone and you can live. I realize I am moving...
