    Golden 300 duck non stop layer!

    I have a Golden 300 Layer, which is, for those of you who are aren't familiar, a high production Khaki Campbell hybrid cross. I got her last spring as a duckling.

    Do all turkey breeds have wander lust?

    I hatched out a few poults a years ago and fell in love with them. My 2 girls were calm and pet like but insisted in laying their eggs out in the woods even though provided with a coop and nest box and as much as I tried to hunt down their nests and break them up they both ended up setting on...

    Who has Khaki Campbells?

    I'm thinking about getting a few for egg layers. Do they really lay super good or is it just some strains and if so who has them? Do they have good temperaments? Any comments appreciated. Thanks!

    Wing problems in Sebastopol Goslings

    Has anybody figured out how to prevent wing tips from flipping out at the heavy blood filled pin feather stage and even later after corrective wing taping when the feathers come in and they still don't tuck into the natural position? Is it just caused by too fast of growth, too much protein or...

    My happy & sad experience with turkeys

    Last year I purchased 16 turkey hatching eggs. This was my first experience with turkeys. Only 4 hatched and all turned out to be females. I sold two to a lady for breeding stock and kept two, a Royal Palm and a Blue Palm. Long story short they were destined for the freezer but I fell in love...

    Will wild turkeys breed domestic turkeys?

    I have 2 - 2012 female turkeys, I don't have a male. One of the females squats in a breeding position every time I get near her and started calling a lot this spring, I'm assuming for a male. The last few days she has gone off into the woods behind our house doing the repetitive calling. I've...

    Drought has dried up all my grass! What are you feeding?

    Hey folks in the drought/dried up grass areas... what are you feeding your geese this summer? I've been supplementing with hay but mainly Alfalfa available around here so a lot of that goes to waste because its stemmy. I think this is the first summer ever I'm looking forward to winter.
