The boys of the fowl world take their job seriously! My Tom turkey will occasionally get on my goose! She let's him is the strange thing. I'd love to see a pic of your girl.
They both were drakes. One died but I still have five females and one drake. I have hatched out the eggs and they are sexable because the drake is gc and the ducks are silver appleyards. If your egg is pure gc you won't be able to sex the duckling by down color. I do like my drake but he isn't...
Anyone down near Alpine that would have some free fertile hatching eggs? My brother's hen has gone broody and he is looking for some. I told him to look on KSL but thought I might ask here as well.
I thought broodies were the way to go?!? My frizzle had five chicks hatch last week and as of today, one is still alive. Grrr! She smothered three of them. Absolutely doesn't care what is going on when she sits down and won't move no matter how much her chick squawks. Is this normal or do I just...
Mine turned out to both be males. One of them died so now I have 5 S.A. females and one GC drake. This spring they started laying so I gave some eggs to a friend for incubating. I spoke with Dave Holderread and he said that the GC can only be autosexed when they are crossed with another breed of...
Thank you Karen! Please let me know if she would be interested in getting rid of a few ;) My momma turkey runs around the coop shrieking all day because I haven't let her sit in a nesting box. I don't know what to do for her because she has suddenly stopped laying so she doesn't even have eggs...
Thanks Amanda, you are so sweet! I have looked on KSL but the only ones available are below Provo. I have looked on Ebay but their prices are super high. Hmm. Hopefully I can figure something out. Thanks for offering though. :)

Amanda, there are oodles of folks out here with roos in with their girls. I could get you as many as you like and bring them as far as Logan. I don't think any would be banty though. Just mixed mutts. On the up side, they would be totally free :).
Red, I was wondering if you might be interested in a turkey egg swap. My midget white has gone broody and I am looking to get some eggs to put under her. Are you interested in MW eggs??
I just went through them. I have pictures of them hatching but they are all wet and poor quality. I noticed that after the hatch my ducklings must have been shipped to me because all of the photos are of baby ducks from then on. My husband and I both did a lot of research before we decided on...
I purchased some eggs on Ebay this past spring and two of the four hatched. There was one with a white spot on its head and one with chipmunk stripes. Male and Female right? The one with the white spot didn't make it more than a few days but the chipmunk lived and grew and grew and I thought to...
Yes, I got them as babies so they imprinted on me mad my husband. They would follow us around and one of them loved my husband to pet her. They hated my cats and would nip at them if they came near. They even chased the dogs once because it got too close. They were fine with my chickens because...
