    The beautiful Welcome sign is by fellow BYCer "Painterman" Steve in the UK. Boy the coop build was an adventure in living! I did it myself with some assistance when it was time to raise walls and some invaluable building advice from wonderful BYCers. It's a little difficult to lift those...

    Turkey Tractors

    I had my 7 BBW's in an 8 x 12 hoop coop. This worked fine up until about the last two weeks of 19. The last two weeks - in order to not be laying in total nastiness - they had to be moved every day. I had a very dense CRP pasture to move them around in so it was fairly hardy. There was still...

    I know this makes me crazy but I'm going to ask anyway

    Thursday night the boys went to the processor. It was a hard night. BUT - they came back on Friday. They weighed between 17.5 and 25 pounds. They were 19 weeks old - I am pleased with their weights - except for the 25 pounder was a little large - he was the biggest Tom. Next year I'm going...

    Just another funny turkey post

    I love my bourbon reds - they do whatever they want - whenever they want - when I holler at them they look at me like "you couldn't not possibly be speaking to me in that tone of voice" - they do provide a lot of entertainment. Be careful though - my big tom Kramer decided to take on the...

    Any advice from managers out there?

    I think you want this job - BUT I think you want it to be easy. It's not easy - anytime you have to manage people -it's just not. I floated along happily in my career as a lonewolf. All my successes were mine - and just as importantly all my failures were mine. As a manager - I share my...

    Any advice from managers out there?

    Quote: My Dear, the person with the people problem in the situation you describe is not you. It's him. If I talked to my boss in the way you just described - it would be career-ending. If my employees talked to me that way - we would be making a trip to HR. That is not acceptable...

    Is there any way to sex buff orpington chicks? They're 2 days old.

    All you can do is hope for another five to ten weeks when they are feathered out. I butchered my buff roos at around 17 weeks when they got onery- they were a little skinny but tasty. I think locked up in a pen on some hot feed they might be better another few weeks after that. I would...

    Advice before I jump in and make a ton of mistakes.

    Heather - just get the turkeys - you will be in love by day two - none of the rest of it will matter My chickens didn't like my bourbon reds when they were babies - now that the turkeys are big they are large and in charge Now that it has turned colder some of the hens have discovered that...

    My turkeys are begging for an early Thanksgiving

    ...house was a good idea - I thought for sure they were going to pull it down. Nothing looks dumber than a woman in the yard yelling "get down you D**M turkeys before we all get killed" and throwing pebbles at them. They looked confused for a few minutes and then they flew to the fireplace...

    Anyone ever made Weasel Sets? *Descriptions a little graphic*

    Woodmort - what did you do with it after that? That thing looks huge in the pictures! How big was it?

    Anyone ever made Weasel Sets? *Descriptions a little graphic*

    aprophet - I did just that to find out about weasel sets - I think I saw your post on another thread when I searched. So there's no "trick" to it? Does the rat trap act as a foot trap or does it work like a rat trap? I guess what I'm asking is - will it kill the weasel - or will I have to...

    Anyone ever made Weasel Sets? *Descriptions a little graphic*

    I've got a fricken weasel. In the last two days I've lost seven of my four month olds. It has to be a weasel. Last night it killed six in one night. The babies got chased out of the big coop and were sleeping in the old little coop. I didn't think too much of it. It just has a piece of...

    turkeys and the cold

    It's been in the 30's here at night and last night instead of going in their shelter my BBW's stood out in the rain cold and wind. I don't know if BBW's can get cold - they seem to be hot to the touch even. I will say they do seem to be a little more "ruffled" these last few days when it's...
