    Royal palm question

    We incubated a batch of turkey eggs that we were told were all royal palm. The ones that hatched all looked the same in the first few weeks. The eggs were all stereotypical-looking turkey eggs. However recently - one of them is looking more like a chicken than a royal palm. The black tips...

    Eggs are gone

    we have new hens, but they all started laying. We were getting 10-11 eggs per day (12 ladies). All of a sudden 4 days ago, production dropped to 1-3 eggs per day. I've in teased food and water to make sure that wasn't it. Gave them extra treats. This is my first year. Any suggestions...

    Base for Brooder

    Hubby built a brooder out of leftovers we had in the garage. It is 3ft x 4ft and we have 12 chicks. The floor is cardboard with pine shavings. Is there something we can put on the cardboard to reduce the constant scratching and pecking sounds? They are almost 2 weeks old.
