Traveling for the holidays? There are some chickens in Wisconsin that I would like here in Reno Nevada. They are White Chantecler a super cold hardy breed so winter transport is not a problem. If you are traveling along I80 to or from northern California, northern Nevada and wouldn’t mind 3-4...

I am thinking about raising some turkeys next year but am concerned they will fly into the neighbors yard full of dogs. Has anyone pinioned a turkey before? Just wondering how well they can fly after pinioning.
Is there a good book or web site that will help me understand if its possible and how to maintain decent genetic diversity in a small flock of chickens? Line breeding, spiral breeding, out breeding, inbreeding… Is it possible to maintain a closed flock with only a couple roosters and a dozen...
