What is it called? Im starting my 15 poults with unmedicated feed, i couldnt find any medicated feed anywhere. Can you buy the medication separate and add it in the water or something?
Who has raised easterns? Are yours actually from the wild? Did they tame down? Post pics!!!
I have 12 that i hatched out, straight from the wild. My bronze hen hatched them and they are completely OK with being near me. My last batch of completely wild ones they were deathly afraid but i didnt...
I raised a wild mallard hen and shes very tame now and she goes into the coop every night. She usually flies for like 5 minutes straight but i can see where she goes, well today she went away for a long time, shes back now though. Do you think she got bred? It was the warmest day of the year so...
I got my first egg of the year. I wonder why my hen picked the coldest day of the year to lay it? It cracked when it thawed. But the weird thing is only my gobbler was in the pen with the egg. The hen must have fit in the tiny hole to the barn attick and dropped in the other side.
So a few weeks ago i emailed Kevin Porter. I asked what would i get if i bred my turkeys then listed all the combinations. Well i really want to get bourbon red so to do that i need my red bronze tom and mate my golden narri hen. Well, the red bronze tom isnt dominant so i have those 2 separated...
I have 4 turkeys right now, all 4 different breeds but im planning on having my Red Bronze gobbler mate my Golden Narri hen. The problem is the Red Bronze isnt the dominant tom, so i put him and the golden narri hen in the shed and shut the seperating door with my red palm gobbler (dominant...
I started my flock 2 years with 2 gobblers, a red bronze and red palm. I added a bronze hen last spring. I had many poults and sold all but 1, a golden narragansett hen. I contacted Porter and he told me my breeding combinations, and if i breed th Red Bronze to my Golden Narri, ill get Bronze...
I have a pure wild mallard hen that i hatched and raised (my dad got the eggs because the wild duck laid her eggs on their machinery outside) and i have a question.
When i was raising her she was very afraid of me, but know she knows this is home, she will get flushed by my dog fly out of...
Over the summer i let my turkeys free range from sun up to sun down so i only feed them chicken scratch but now the snow covers everything so i have a few questions.
The Chicken scratch is 9% protein so i was wondering if i could get a higher protein feed and a layer crumble and mix it in with...
I have a question about a snack for my turkeys. This deer season i was lucky enough to harvest my first buck. Well we usually make whats called summer sausage its kind of like a salomi well the smoker was left on overnight and a stick of it was cooked too long and its very dry and doesnt taste...
I cant believe its almost laying season! Now up here in PA its very snowy but last week it got up to the 50s and my toms were strutting all day long, i cant wait to get my first egg again! Anyone get any eggs yet? I wont get any until Mid March or so.
Well, i posted alittle while back saying my dad rescued 4 wild mallard eggs. With out him getting them, they were a gonner. Well, all 4 hatched, and 2 died. I have not the slightest clue why, but the other 2 are thriving. I think i have a hen and a drake. One kind of squeals and the other...
