I found this thread because I was trying to find Tom's number, when I want turkeys, he is the guy to call. He has the best turkeys, nice nice guy, he will spend time and energy to help you get set up with the RIGHT turkeys. He does not judge if you want to eat them, raise them for fly feathers...
Thank you for replying,I read your message to the kids this morning and they felt more confident today, the geese leave all of them alone except my own daughter who is still afraid of them- we will keep working on it before it becomes an issue

We just got a pair of very pretty, nice geese from the humane society, I think they are imprinted on people, as they follow me everywhere and do not want to be away from me. Very nice to me

great post! My two year old Austrolorp had a HARD hard molt like that just this year( her molts before were not this dramatic). I was on here researching if she had mites or what, I had even contimplated culling her becuase I really thought she was sick, she looked terrible. Anyway, my dad...
We are having a lot of snow in Western Washington, the first snow of the year for my birds

I wanted to check back in to update that she is still here with us, and actually showed some improvement yesterday:)
I feel like I am not doing much for her, but she seems to be wanting to hang around the water pools, so we keeping pushing those fluids and keeping them very clean

Thank you! She is still here with us, and we are pushing fluids, and trying to get her to eat and such, I am thinking botulism too- but have not found a lot of good treatment ideas

1) What type of bird , age and weight. Muscovy hen- three years old
2) What is the behavior, exactly. She was FINE today- took a swim in her pool, ate well, hung out with us in the yard as usual- we had a picnic for dinner not two hours ago- she was FINE. Now she is trying to make her way to...

I have three broody banties right now. One silkie, one silkie mix and one antwerp quail mix.
I have three serama hens and a rooster. They have their own side pen. I have a big coop that all my birds share- that opens to free range of yard- I know my broodies can not brood in the big coop...
