    New to Turkeys - Why are poults so cute??? Also, serious questions.

    We decided to experiment with poults this year - we’ve raised ducks for three years and chickens for two. We got 15 turkeys - 6 Midget Whites, 4 Blacks, and 5 Royal Palms. I am already charmed by them, the cute little boogers, and I’m excited to have them around the yard. But I have a couple...

    First Timer Question - Humidity

    Hey everyone! So this is my first time incubating chicken eggs, and I’m using a Nurture Right 360 incubator.

My experience thus far has been exclusively ducks, so are roosters...

    Anyone seen this before?

    She goes to the vet on Thursday, but anyone seen this before? My girl Fletcher is limping pretty badly. She is eating and drinking, and I couldn’t see any open wound.

    Goose Breeds for Big Family

    Hello! I'm looking at getting some geese to add to my flock. I'm thinking of getting a pair or trio to breed some meat birds. I have a large family (three adults, five children) and we're doing the whole homesteading thing. I already have some ducks, but geese look like they'll be a nice...

    Hello there!

    Ironically, I joined a forum called Backyard Chickens . . . and I don't really have any interest in raising chickens. My main poultry interest is ducks, so, as I answer the intro questions, I'm going to substitute the "chickens" for "ducks." (However, chicken lovers don't despair - my second...
