    Cold?

    Do the broad breasted turkeys become affected by the cold? Do they stop growing as fast, do they need to go inside? Mine have a shelter but never go into it, last night it was rainy and 39 degrees out and they still stayed out on the lawn instead of going under shelter. Thanks I tried do some...

    How Big?

    I have a few BB Bronze and BB White Turkeys, I'm wondering at what size will they be unable to fly? They are about 18 weeks old and all around 25 to 30 lbs. I have moved them from a 10 x 10 tractor to a 1500 square foot fenced area 4' high with electric poultry net. Just nervous wondering if...

    Sick turkeys help if you've seen this.

    Just wanted to touch base here, I had 9 broad breasted turkeys and am now at 7, they are 11 weeks old but recently (over the last 4 weeks) I notice that a single turkey will all of a sudden start pooping bright yellow like egg yolk and runny. Next that turkey will just stand still off by himself...

    Poor Cockerel

    Somehow my poor cockerel got stuck outside today, I opened a different door than normal because of wind direction, he made it out but didn't go back in. When I picked him up and put him back in he went and started eating and drinking like nothing was wrong but I noticed he was limping. When I...

    Cold?

    So I haven’t been too worried about the cold issue anymore, these girls are doing fine. But my question is if they get too cold will they go back in the coop, it’s 1 degree here this morning and they’re all standing around on one leg, guess their feet are a little cold on the snow. There is a...

    Meat Bird sizes and grow times.

    So I've been raising meat birds this year and have noticed something I'm hoping someone can set me straight on. Had some red ranger type broilers supposed to take 12-14 weeks to get to slaughter size/weight. We were able to slaughter 1/2 of the 50 birds for an average weight of 3.75 lbs at 14...

    Safe to eat?

    we are finishing our run of CC's and ran across something we haven't seen before. Background is this chicken didn't grow as well as the others and about a week ago stopped being able to walk. Feeling bad we decided to cull it with the other birds today we noticed right away after plucking that...

    Cornish Cross Outside.

    I know I've read that at 21 days or so you can put the birds out in the tractor. My question is it's becoming colder here at night (gonna be 50 tonight) are they still ok to go out? I have 3 lamps out and wind blocks up but its gonna be like this for the next 2 weeks any way. Any thoughts would...

    What kind of predator?

    Today when I let my Chickens out they were acting very funny, usually they are stepping all over each other to get out and free range. They do have a 4 foot fence that covers roughly 1000 square feet but no over head cover except under the coop, in a small enclosure and some pines that they like...

    Week old chicks

    I have 7 week old chicks, they've started chasing feathers around the brooder and pecking dots on the cardboard. I was heading to the pet store and thought it might be nice to pick up some crickets or meal worms for them to chase. Is there any reason not too? If its not a good idea when do you...
