    I'm sorry

    Well I guess my joke about kissing a cow was too racy for BYC. I am sorry if I offended anyone. I thought it was cute.

    Hard working, old fount heater needed help

    I bought this HD Hudson Mfg. Co., Chicago IL, Catalog #570, model B 13.5w, 115v fount heater about 5 years ago at a swap. It died on me. Unlike my "Farm Innovation" founts that need to be replace every 13 months, this thing will darn near boil water. It is an adjustable thermostat...

    Peafowl question (after hatch)

    Last weekend Mrs. Pea hatched her 4 eggs. The chicks are eating, drinking, and following mom around the pen. I think everyone is fine in the pen. Mr. Pea on the other hand is just kinda stumbling around. It's been very hot and humid, so I understand he doesn't have the energy to do much...

    4 out of 4 hatched today!!

    A bit of back story: On Fathers day I was awoken to our dog barking. But this time I heard other dogs too. I found 3 Bourbon Red Toms dead, my eye candy Rooster missing his tail feathers, and my Peacock sitting on top of the barn's roof. Mrs. Pea was missing and presumed Dead.... I found...

    how to put a price on flock?

    Fathers day was not so good to me. A couple neighbouring dogs killed 3 of my Bourbon Red toms (and a pea hen). The owner of the dogs said they will make it right with me. Problem is we haven't discussed the details. Like the fact that these are not butterfly turkeys. I searched and see...

    Is it ever going to warm up???.

    In years past, my Cornish X chicks would be about 3 weeks old. We just had our first 70 degree day yesterday. Today 50 and rain, tomorrow 47 rain, Friday 46 with a rain and SNOW mix. I just can't get the barn dry because of the moisture in the air and moisture coming up from the concrete...

    Need to add a BR Tom

    I bought 5 Bourbon Red poults this past spring. Lost one right away and wouldn't ya know, the remaining 4 are hens. Just my luck. I picked one out for Turkey Day and still have 3. I want to breed them so I need a Tom. How would you go about this? Option 1 is order chicks. With my luck...

    Topics not in the correct sections

    At first, I thought someone just mis-posted a thread. A lady's aunt died and the thread is in the feeding and watering section. Then I noticed a thread about congress in the Meat Bird section. Is there something wrong with the thread sorting??

    Heated base makes a great mouse house???

    Just a heads up to those in the cold. Make sure that you have your heated bases on a sheet of plywood or something that doesn't allow little critters to crawl inside and stay toasty warm. They will eventually make more mouses and chew at the heating element

    BR Turkey with some really interesting "issues"

    I picked up some Bourbon Red Turkey poults this spring (2010) and one of them we called Circles because it always turned it's head and walked in circles. Kinda weird, but cute. Well the last week she is getting worse. Her neck goes straight down and then U's back up with the head straight up...

    Peas are making them selves at home

    I picked up a pair of peafowl mid-June, kept them in their pen for a month and let them out. Now they are roaming all over the yard. Roosting in the weirdest places like on top of my beer fridge or the top of the chicken run (btw, hens don't like it as much as I do) They eat out of everyone's...

    Well, I give up. Bald hens

    I can't seem to figure out why half of my hens are bald. I don't see any bugs, they don't appear to be picking eachother, and I have no rooster in their pen. They are a variety of hens, all about 1 year old. The feathers don't come back. They are sore, but I think it is sunburn (very red in...

    Eggs, Fertility, and using chicken hens

    Last week we picked up our first Peafowl. A nice pair. To my surprise, she is laying an egg every other day. I thought it would take a while for her to get over the transportation stress. She has no interest in setting on the eggs. I have never seen them mate so I don't know if the eggs are...

    Jumbo Bobwhite Quail (near or in MN)

    I don't care if they are hatchery Jumbo Bobwhites, Butler Bobs, or Wis. Jumbo Bobwhite quail. I just want to buy a handful (dozen?) large Bobwhite quail to try out. Most minimum orders are 100 chicks and I don't want to start with that many if they are not for me. 6, 12, even 20 sounds like...

    Thinking of adding some peafowl (Edit: Got 'em!)

    I've got chickens (laying hens and broilers), quail, Turkeys (BBW's and Bourbon Reds), cats, and a Dog. What is another addition to the farm. I do have a few questions about peas though. 1) How much square feet per bird is needed for inside housing? 1a) Hoping to allow them to roam when...
