    URGENT! 38Chicks alive,all SHRINK WRAPPED,Day24!*UPDATE* 1chick dead)=

    At this point you are going to have to help them out. Once they get shrink wrapped they simply cannot get out by themselves. If you tear away some of the membrane does the blood come out in drops, or like a stream? A few drops of blood will not hurt, but if it's a steady stream it will kill...

    Turkeys as Pets?

    Turkeys are THE best pets ever. We raise blue slates and sweetgrass turkeys. The slates are more personable, but I've had them the longest and they are used to out family. They free range on 5 acres but mostly stay in the pasture. They are very inquisative birds and are way more personable...

    Anybody downsizing?

    I've sold down to about 12 of each of our breeds instead of 50 of each. It sure has helped on the feed bill. I've also got about 100 chicks that I'm fixing to give away because I'm tired of feeding them LOL. So if there's anybody close to me that wants Dominique and cuckoo marans chicks...

    Newbie with Turkey raising Q's

    Turkey poults may not be as smart as chicks that are the same age, but once they get a little older they are very smart. We raise 2 different breeds, and unlike most chickens, they have unique personalities. I would take a turkey ANYDAY over a chicken. Just make sure that you show them where...

    SAND or MULCH (or something else???) in the RUN???? What do you use??

    You want a courser sand like mason's sand, and make it deep. If you throw fine sand out it will just pack down and get hard. If you use only an inch of it, it will become one with the clay and will be hard as well. We pay $40 bucks for a dump truck load of it.

    Are you pro-icing, or against?

    NOOOOOO icing for me, UNLESS it's my buttercream recipe and then only a little will do. Everybody else in my family fights for the corner piece that has icing just running down the side.

    Confused

    Now this is just ME, BUT mine get chick starter until they are big enough to eat layer pellets. Been raising chickens for years, and never have any die, so that's that.

    SAND or MULCH (or something else???) in the RUN???? What do you use??

    We have 6 to 8 inches of sand in all of our coops and runs, wouldn't do it any other way if I had to do it over again. ANy organic matter (leaves, mulch, etc) will break down and compost over time so it will stink if it gets wet. The sand allows water to drain to the bottom and is also...

    Can I brood Turkeys, Chicks, Ducks, and Guineas together?

    The chicks, poults and keets can go together for a while, but do not put the ducks in with them. No matter how diligent you are with cleaning them, the ducks will mess the brooder up and it will not be good for the others.
