    Encouraging ladies to lay?

    Brooder System?

    Hello! My friend and I have decided to order some hatching eggs from Myshire Farms! However, I at least am going to need a better brooder system because the Midwest is bipolar. So the hatched out chicks would be staying in the house. I have two cats (one never goes near any birds EVER) and a...

    Any websites for showmanship?

    I am in 4h and our fair is just over a month away and I desperately need a way to study for chicken showmanship! We sometimes get a packet from the judge but we rarely do and even then it is one that we all have to share. So we are that group of 15-20 7-10 graders taking up an entire section of...

    Why is there such a low hatch rate?

    I have discussed this with some other breeders of D’uccles that are porcelain in variety and they all say that the hatch rates are really low. In my (minimal) experience, all my hatched had about half infertile, 1/4 develop and die halfway through, and 1/4 actually pip. I’ve only ever had one...

    Can I keep both of my toms If I get them enough hens?

    Hello, I am very new to turkeys and last year I bought six mixed breed poults, of which only ONE survived (the rest either 1. Ran onto the highway 2. Drowned themselves at 6 weeks old or 3. Stood in the rain and ended up freezing to death). Of course, the one that survived was a tom. At the time...
