    Ever lost standard size DUCK to hawk in daytime?

    Yes. I have. And I also just recently lost my 6 remaining meat birds (Cornish X) to hawks. They had a good life. I bought them 2 years ago as day old chicks from McMurray. The other 30 turned into our dinner and we ran out of good processing weather so they were turned out to pasture. They...

    You mean so they learn to live like this with the chickens? This is Sam on a very cold February night. Those meat birds are like little heaters. Tami

    Help! Found Bird! What is it?

    I found 2 very young turkey poults in my backyard a couple months ago. Someone obviously dropped them off at my house because they were in one of my empty chicken cages. I don't know who... never figured that one out. The only thing I can figure is that someone found them and knew I raised...

    HELP - Unexpected Pips - my humidity is too low!!

    Don't take the shell off. It will cause them to dry out faster. Just keep the lid on the bator and let nature do the rest. Only help them hatch if it is absolutely necessary. Tami

    Frizzle, new mama UPDATED w/ New Pics of NN chick

    2 of the NN frizzle eggs hatched today. One with a feathered neck (not pictured) and this cute little baby. I'm so excited to have another NN. If I'm not mistaken, her mother, Nadine was from an egg I hatched from Lisa. (Dipsy) Take care, Tami

    Frizzle, new mama UPDATED w/ New Pics of NN chick

    I've incubated lots of chicks but these are the first my own chickens have hatched out. One of the silkies is still sitting on the frizzle eggs and they should be hatching sometime today. I could hear peeping in a couple of the eggs yesterday. This is Nadine and a chick she hatched out that...

    How to wean bottle baby lambs

    Thanks. I will just keep bottle feeding them then. I wonder why the guidelines on the milk replacer container and the websites for the other lamb milk replacer say to wean at 4-6 weeks. Take care, Tami

    How to wean bottle baby lambs

    Interesting. The lamb milk container says to wean at 4-6 weeks and the other lamb sites I've read also say 30 days. Thanks. Tami

    How to wean bottle baby lambs

    Hello all, I have 2 bottle baby lambs that are 1 month old now. I want to start weaning them but I can't get them to drink water out of a bucket. They are eating grass and they started nibbling at the sheep feed but what they really want is their bottle. I try to get them to drink water out...

    only guien is dead

    I'm sorry. I've had 2 guineas die the same way within the last month. They are very curious birds and not very bright. Mine won't get out of the way of our own car. They just stand there even when you honk the horn. Take care, Tami

    Free-Ranging Turkeys

    I have 4 Narragansetts. 1 Tom and 3 hens. We have 18 acres with a cattle farm on one side. They spend a lot of time across the fence on the cattle farm. One of the hens is sitting on a nest on the neighbors property. I actually saw her fly "home" the other day for about 15 minutes to...

    Duck Responsibilities (aka Slaughtering Our First Duck)

    Quote: Mine was a Rouen, about 10 months old. They are also free range and don't get any other supplemental food during the warmer months. He hunts wild mallards in Florida so I'm sure this makes a difference. What kind of ducks do you have? I may consider raising some meat ducks next year...

    Duck Responsibilities (aka Slaughtering Our First Duck)

    One of our ducks sustained a broken leg the other day after being stepped on by a horse. We decided to butcher it so we could eat it instead of just tossing it away. What a disappointment. There was no meat on his bones. There was a breast bone with a real thin strip of meat and then skin...
