I finally found someone to process my 3 turkey's ( not an easy thing in New Jersey) in exchange I am giving them one of the birds to eat. I want to eat it on Christmas, he may want to process tomorrow - 10 days before Christmas. Can I keep it in the refrigerator that long or will it have to be...
I use olive oil in all my baking that calls for oil - yellow cake, brownies, carrot cake you name it, have for 6 years now. Cannot taste anything but the good stuff, even the batter tastes great!
I left the empty heavy duty paper feed bag in the coop after emptying it into the metal feeder rushing off to work. Later my son called that the turkey's were eating the paper bag - pecking away and seemed to have eaten 1/4 ? of it before he saw and got it away from them. None of them (turkey's...
Chickenstock: :weee Everyone from BYC met up on a farm in New Tripoli PA. luckily they had a barn we put the chickens in as it poured rain that day. We all talked about it forever before it happened and people planned and asked people to bring certain chickens they wanted to buy/trade with...
I am glad to see some people close with chickens! I can't believe some of the ridiculous laws some towns have against them. I understand not allowing roosters (my town ) because of the noise but chickens in general seems ridiculous. Welcome to the forum. Ann from Long Branch
I also met "Tootsie" Jane of Macopin farms and saw her show rumpless aracanas - really amazing looking. Very nice lady also, I love nice chicken people. A lot of fun meeting people from BYC

I would like to check it out. Is there an address that I could put in GPS to get me there? I went to the directions they posted - I think I could use them but Like gps. I was disappointed it only goes to 2 pm. What does one do there as a visitor? Do we walk around and look at chickens on...
I saw 2 turkeys chasing my duck and the other day her head was bloody so I ran to intervene. One was standing on her back, mating or trying to, pecking at her head. She is a muscovey so can't even raise a ruckus ( they don't quack ) the other standing by. Obviously the turkeys are going to be...
