    Can my turkeys weather a heavy rainstorm on the roof

    Hey everyone. Live in Northern Arizona and expecting heavy rainfall late tonight. My two turkeys are roosting up on the roof. Short of climbing up on a ladder they aren't going to come down. Even if I get them down they usually go back up. Do I need to worry about going up to get them? It's...

    Hey guys. I have been surfing the web and reading through old threads for an hour and finding some conflicting information about crossing turkeys. I have a narragansett tom and about to get a black Spanish hen. I saw on a few posts that crossing a chocolate tom to a black hen would produce...

    Runaway Hen at Night. How high up is she likely to roost?

    Howdy everyone. I have a year and a half old Easter egger hen that I rescued alongside 2 other hens from a boarding situation. Her two sisters integrated into the flock perfectly. They sleep in the coop, hang out with the other hens all day, submit to my rooster, etc. Miss Fancy Pants on the...

    Chick death for unknown reasons

    This morning I noticed one of my 5week old chicks acting strange. She was fluffed up in a ball in the corner and wouldn't move when I picked her up she didn't fight at all and was basically limp. I moved her into a box in the house with water and food but she just sat fluffed up sleeping all...

    Blue Isbar and Runt Black Ameracauna Pals

    I have a breeding trio of Isbars that I'd love Burnadette to join and a blue ameracauna rooster that I want to put Geraldine with. I'll probably end up just shifting the pair back and forth between pens if it's not too stressful for them. Either cross will produce olive Eggers I believe

    Blue Isbar and Runt Black Ameracauna Pals

    Love these girls. Bernadette and Geraldine have been best friends since they hatched. Geraldine is a runt and never quite got big so she thinks she is an Isbar now. Can't bear to separate them at this point

    Chicken keeping without coops or with mutiple coops

    Got them from the same vreeder but one is a blue ameracauna and one is a blue isbar. The isbar is MUCH smaller so I think he just yields all the time. Big roo has 5 hens, lil guy has 3, then 3 hens that kinda float around or sleep alone or with the Turkey. Not in a position to build dual coops...

    Chicken keeping without coops or with mutiple coops

    Following. My flock mainly roosts in the coop but I have a few hens and a Turkey that refuse to and will inevitably break out to roost on my porch or nearby tree. Every morning they are back at the coop waiting to be fed. I have two roos that get along fine but wont roost together. During the...

    Blue Ameracauna Roo x Dominique Hen = sex link?

    Newbie question. I have a random Dominique hen running with my ameracauna flock. My rooster is a blue ameracauna. He regularly mounts her. If I were to incubate the eggs or allow her to, would the chicks be black sex links?

    When Do Blue Isbar Roos Get Their Silver?

    Hey everyone. Just got a young Isbar breeding trio that has 1 blue roo, 1 blue pullet and 1 black pullet. Not sure on age, though based on size compared to my other Isbar hen (separate from trio) I would say they are 14ish weeks. My question is: when do the roosters get their beautiful silver...
