    Rescued Turkeys on Thanksgiving - Any Advice?

    The hubby and I rescued 9 turkeys from our neighbors. They're an older couple and the old man has had several surgeries over the last year. The lady hasn't been able to care for them as well as needed and no one would buy them because of the abysmal conditions they were in. I didn't see it but...

    Daily mail article on US broilers

    This article is so full of lies and misleading information it's sickening. My brother runs an 8 house farm and he is under an incredible amount of rules and constraints regarding the care of his birds. It's not surprising that the comments appear to be disabled and hidden after nearly 3k...

    Chicken feet

    Yesterday, the hubby and I processed 12 chickens. Because we hold the feet while scalding, they never got scalded. I was too tired last night after tending to all the giblets and getting the carcasses in the cooler to rest and just put the feet in a ziploc in the refrigerator. Would it be ok to...

    What to do with my roo...

    My flock is just over 8 months old. I have 16 hens and 2 roos that all grew up together. My SLW roo is dominant and has been seriously feeling his oats. While I'm working out in the garden or the coop he's grabbing a hen every 5-10 mins and the hens are not appreciative. Honestly, I didn't think...

    Anyone notice that in the egg disorders article that spots on eggshells is listed? If spotted eggs were a bad thing, I would be very sad. Anyway, been playing with the new camera...

    Predator or Rooster? **Graphic Pics**

    This is how I found my baby yesterday. I call her Polly because she flies up onto my arm every morning like a parrot, (which has everything to do with how much she loves me and nothing to do with the treats I'm carrying. ) Surprisingly she still flew up to my arm and didn't display much stress...

    My first meatie experience

    My brother just started running his own commercial chicken operation. He didn't realize that the company was going to leave some behind for him to deal with. Since he's new to the area he wasn't prepared to keep, sell or give away all of the extras and they had to be gone before the next load of...

    Silver Laced Wyandotte sex paranoia

    I think I'm getting paranoid because of a thread I read where a lot of people have received incorrectly sexed SLWs. I ordered 5 SLWs from eFowl: 4 pullets and 1 roo. I ended up with 5 pullets and a roo.The roo is defiantly a roo with a larger rose comb and more developed wattles but the pullets'...

    New member from the Georgia mountains

    Hi All! When I was planning the move to Georgia from the suburbs of Dallas, TX I knew right away I wanted a vegetable garden, an orchard and yard eggs. Last year I made a failed attempt at raising chickens by fencing and modifying an old shed that was already on the property. I liked the spot...
