I want to know if I can raise female turkeys with other poultry such as ducks and chickens? What are the pros and cons of raising turkeys? Are the males really loud just wondering?
The more research I do on ducks the more I find them fascinating. I would like personal experiences and opinions on favorite breeds please. Thanks in advance!
I understand it varies, but what I am looking for is consistency and patterns established more often than not. My basis is on docility, human-friendly, and taking care of hens. I appreciate all experiences to be shared, and opinions as well. I will poll and rate accordingly . Thank you!
I have the following breeds in mind already: Australorp, Easter Egger, RIR, Barred Rock, and / or Dominique. I would like the thumbs up or thumbs down on these, and even other recommendations for a stable laying heritage flock. I also plan to have a pet family friendly flock separated as well...
I definitely will have australorps and cochins. The breeds I would really love your experiences with are speckled sussex, orpingtons, Easter eggers and Rhode Island reds. I am trying to make fair evaluations on these breeds to have a solid efflatinf flock as the broodies should be handled nicely...
i would love to know about Rhode Island reds, barred rocks, and Standars Cochin Fowl? I am also interested in Buff Orpingtons. Which of these breeds would be compatible with australorps to make backbone egg layers and broodies.
I have committed myself to australorps but I would also like to add some great broodies and pets. I would also like a little bantam flock as well. Taking any and all suggestions to breeds that fit these criteria and get along with australorps as well.
Hello, I am Ben and I am from southern Louisiana. I am super excited to get to learning and getting the right breeds for my enjoyment and exciting adventures.
