    Let’s Talk About Bird Flu

    It's not practical. It's people behind a desk in a fantasy. I have a similar run. Also I am on a hill so my neighbors water runs through my poultry yard when there's a big rain or snow melt.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I was sleeping and when I let the dog out the north door at 2 I didn't notice anything, but I wasn't looking for it either.

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    Life is much easier when I fill the freezer with these types. 😂

    FB doesn't allow animal sales People have to be creative and usually post in a private group so they don't get reported. The "feed store " in summit takes roosters and resells. https://www.facebook.com/share/1BuRS87xxY/ Also these FB groups might be a resource...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Mine must need Styrofoam. Anytime a piece blows in, probably from the highway, they fight each other. Corn is another. The feed first ingredient is corn, but if I throw corn out they go crazy. I literally had a hen killed. She was trying to get it all and I heard a hubbub behind me. She was...

    I never heard of it and had to look it up. Looks cool but toxic if pets or people eat it.

    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    I have a couple buckets I leave in the shower that I fill while the water is getting hot . Handy if the toilet that is older than me acts up or the power goes out.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Last year I walked in the basement during the day and they were running everywhere 😭. Bucket traps didn't catch much. I have no problems getting them to eat the bait. They ate 8 lbs of one bite and still running around, fat and sassy. A lb of this purple was gone and so were they. Prowler...

    BYC's Random Funny Posting Thread! Hosts Mike & Sally

    I just bought a new TV because the last century TV died. I mainly use an antenna. Internet is too slow most of the day to watch anything. Heck sometimes I can't load byc pictures. At 4 or 5am I watch Midsomer murders. Sometimes the commercials are HD and it keeps buffering.... so I miss the...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Yes to all 3. Extra cockerels coming to age are trying to get a flock. Rooster and uninterested hens chase the cockerels. The cockerels either sneak in at dusk or try bushes. Pullets coming to age are chased by cockerels and lower ranking hens. Some pullets switch coops to get away. I bought...

    Turkey Processing Questions

    Traditionally harvested weekend before Thanksgiving. Definitely don't freeze, needs to rest (up to 10 days if close to 32 f) so rigor mortis passes. I start harvesting jakes at 6 months. Otherwise the same as a chicken with a huge cone.
