    There are bigfoot pictures in Pennsylvania by auto camera

    It has been a long time since I posted on here. It is good to see Rufus and Suzierd still on this thread. I have one story of a friend of mine from last July to share. He took his family camping to the South Hills near Twin Falls Idaho to participate in a archery competition. He explained that...

    How difficult are turkeys?

    That turkey is a Calico Turkey. I bought Sweetgrass and ended up with the Calico's. What I have researched claims they do not breed true, however all of mine do breed true. I locked my original birds for 2 weeks and they all flew away. I thought they were gone but they returned that evening and...

    what breed is this?

    Calico turkey. I was sold sweetgrass and my birds all look like your dark bird. I Finally found these on Porters website last year. My birds breed true but the neighbor also has a flock of them and his poults usually look like palms.

    What would you do?

    Little fellow was probably a late hatcher and couldn't keep up. I have a brooder full of them from my turkeys. Seems that my birds hatch a bunch but only a handful reach adulthood. This time of year I can hear the lost poults and round them up before they succumb to the elements. The hens are...

    what's the youngest age you've successfully integrated chicks to the main flock?

    I have two brooding rooms set up. Just hatched chicks stay in the enclosed brooder until a month old then go into a larger room enclosed with poultry netting. As soon as they can handle the temperature swings they are turned out with the adults. Within days they are foraging and taking care of...

    i love walmart b/c they sell chicken feed

    I won't buy a thing from them. I get all my feed so much cheaper right from the farmers who grow it. Corn is 7.00 for 50# wheat,oats and barley is 12.00 for 75# and a 55 gallon barrel is 55.00$. I have been burned too many times on the cheaply made WalMart products. I can buy the same identical...

    Wattle fence

    I used willows when I tried building one. They are real pliable and around the same size. They will grow roots if used in wet areas though. I just didn't have enough willows that were accessible to me. keep us posted on the construction it just might motivate me again.

    Farm fields

    Keep the farmer happy, it will be miserable if you don't. There are two fields on each side of me with two different farmers. The one could care less saying the wild geese do more damage. The other guy is something else. As long as he knows that I contain the birds till his crop gets going he is...

    Drive by mosquito fogging dangerous?

    They have done this for years here to prevent west Nile. I have not noticed the fog effecting anything but the insects. According to the county its harmless- so was DDT at the time.

    Farm fields

    You must be up north as well. From what I observe they don't really dig the seed up but graze the plants down when they are young and tender.

    Will Radio keep predators away?

    I keep one on 24-7. Its tuned into a talk radio station that I can't stand but its the only one I can tune into. Keeping the coop predator proof is #1. I don't have opossums but raccoons are around. The old barn is not 100% but a hot wire,dogs and the radio do the trick. I have not lost a bird...

    Wattle fence

    The wattle fence is cool,I tried it once and found out just how much material is really needs and never finished the job. I went with the plastic deer fence stuff as well. The only problem I have with the deer fencing is if something like a dog or turkey goes through it chicks can get tangled up...

    Farm fields

    Yep its a problem. My birds also free range except now due too the newly planted sugar beets. After the crop gets so high the birds seem to leave it alone. I grow corn,sunflowers,sorghum and pumpkins for my birds and after its 8 -9 inches they just wander around in it eating bugs. Talk to the...

    How easy is it to breed turkeys?

    I would be concerned about the weight of the bird crushing eggs getting on and off the nest. I have never had a commercial variety,the neighbors have had them and from watching them its as if all their natural instincts are gone. My birds are friendly but act more wild then tame some days...
