    kids 4 H project

    I do think the culling is a good idea, but I am worried about them suddenly being too big for the housing as fast as these chicks grow. And how it will time out, etc, such as finding ourselves needing to cull birds the week of Christmas. At how many weeks can you anticipate starting to cull...

    We do not want to kill them to early beacause we would like the best selection for showtime.

    kids 4 H project

    We have them in a rubbermaid brooder right now with heat lamp. What we really need is an idea for cheap outdoor housing. We were prepared to house about 15, but somehow our order was doubled, and we need additional housing for about 15 birds. These birds get so big so fast!!! Any suggestions?

    Crowing golden sebright hen

    For about a week and a half I have been hearing an odd sounding crow. It sounded like a juvenile male rooster. We've got a golden sebright hen that sat and hatched out a dozen eggs, and we moved her and the baby birds outside the main chicken run. I thought one of the hatchlings was already...

    Baby turkey strut...

    Didn't really take it as criticism, been way more critical of myself for the way it happened. Also I guess I wanted to point out the old "never trust a predator" rule....not that we intentionally left our "predators" to where they could get to our babies, but I really wouldn't have thought the...

    Baby turkey strut...

    Quote: This is EXACTLY what he did. It was so funny! He was fanning his tail "nubs" before they even feathered out. I miss our turkey babies. They seemed to have so much more "personality" than our chicken babies have had. Kim

    Baby turkey strut...

    For the record, none of our felines or canines have EVER shown interest in our bird brooder, which was a Graco play pen with a piece of wood covering the top, prior to this. Have had 20-30 sets of baby birds (chickens and quail) and never any problems til the turkeys. Our ten year old lazy cat...

    Baby turkey strut...

    The baby tom turkey that we had was exhibiting some very "male" characteristics from very early on. We had a Rio Grande and a Naragansette. By the time the Rio Grande was a week old, he (we assume) was strutting in response to "turkey talk." Just saying "turk turk turk turk" would make him...

    could a rat do this

    We were having things ripped off our young quail and at first we didn't think anything of much size could be getting in the bird barn. It also killed 6 young chickens, but never bothered the full grown ones. It turned out to be a skunk....my husband trapped it and shot it. Thank God because...

    Lake Cumberland quail egg order

    Updating.....they FINALLY, after much frustration DID ship our eggs. I will say that in the packaging, you DO get what you pay for, we only had 2 eggs that were broken, so with the extra eggs they sent, we came out okay there. BUT, out of the 80 eggs, NONE were the white A & M's. Invoice said...
