So there is an ad on craigslist for turkey poults, and the guy has rio grands and bourbon red turkeys. I am looking for a couple of turkeys to raise for thanksgiving/the holiday season, and was wondering if anyone has experience with these birds. If so, which do you recommend? I also have a...
So today I went to TSC bc I heard they got chicks in, and it was on my way home....so I stopped in. They had comets and amberlinks. I currently have 14 BOs, and thought, hey, the flock could use a little variety. So I decided to pick out a few. I got 4 comets and 2 amberlinks. At the time I...
So I got my chickies on Friday (already posted pics) and thought I would update. So far we have lost 2 (we ordered 15 and got 16). The first one died within hours of coming home. She wasn't doing so well from the start. The second one died last night/this morning of unknown cause. I was away...

anyone have any experience with randall burkey? The chicks were to be shipped out today, and I'm wondering what the likelihood is that I would get them tomorrow? Also, what is the general consensus about RB? how many packing peanuts did you get if you used them?
gah I'm so tired of waiting!
So, knowing my vulnerability to things cute, small, and fuzzy, I asked my mom to pick up a bale of pine shavings today from the feed store.
...and it's a good think I did, bc they had little ducks and RIRs. I need neither of these things (but I'm sure they would be cute to have around)! and she...
So I guess I'm new to BYC--so I'll introduce myself. My name is Kendra, and I live in Lancaster county, PA (most of my neighbors are Amish). So I thought I would stop stalking the message boards and introduce myself.
I ordered 15 buff orpington pullets from Randall Burkey on 3/19, and found out...
