Hey there! So we used to have chickens, ducks, turkeys, and guinea fowl several years ago, but then my kids and I moved to a new area and have been renting for the past 3 years.
Well, we just bought a house with a nice, big (for this area anyway) yard and I (and the kids, of course) am super...
Hezz! It was great meeting you today!! Thanks so much for the ? boys!!!
Just so you can rest assured that they're in a good home, here's the scene at our house right now:
They're hangin' out on the couch with the kiddos!!
Thanks again!

I ordered 15 hen chicks, 2 female khaki campbells and 2 female indian runners this past fall. They all arrived healthy and quickly and we even got an extra runner.
My experience with them was positive.
Good luck!

Hi All!!
I just wanted to share this picture of the beautiful and different colored eggs from today. It has just started warming up here and the hens we raised in the fall have *just* begun laying. Today I confirmed that it is, indeed, the Easter Eggers laying the beautiful blue eggs.

Hi All! Is it safe to assume that I shouldn't use any kind of lawn fertilizer with weed killer in it because it would be harmful to the free range chickens/ducks/guineas/turkeys?
Thanks!

I had a really good experience with Natures. I actually called after I ordered because I had a question. We somehow got disconnected and the guy called me right back. All the ducks and chickens were super healthy and we even got an extra Indian Runner in our order.
I hope the OP got things...
I ordered 5 white leghorn chicks from Nature's Hatchery about 3 months ago. We got one extra white ones for a total of 6.
5 of the white ones have yellow legs and the 6th one has blue legs. In all other aspects she looks the same. Is she a leghorn too?
Thanks

Hi all! We have 5 bantams (2 roos and 3 hens) and we thought we had lost one of our hens. None of us had seen her for at least 2 days. Surprisingly, my hubby said that he saw her with the other bantys this morning, but now she is MIA again.
I know that at least one of the bantys started laying...
Hi all! We just got 3, 20 week old turkeys today. The guy we got them from said to keep them penned up for a few days.
We free range our ducks, chickens and guineas and put them in a coop most nights.
Is it necessary to keep the turkeys penned for a few days?
Thanks!
Helga
Thanks everyone! We are the proud parents to 3 Royal Palm turkeys, though I really have NO IDEA if they are hens or toms.
I will try to get some pics of them tomorrow!
Thanks!
