I have raised Black Mottled turkeys for many years. But does anyone here have any Blue Mottled Turkeys. I have been working on producing the Blue Mottled for awhile now. Which I am producing the Blue Mottled, however I would like to see if anyone else has some.

I know it says house pets...... but remember many animals like hedgehogs, zebu cattle, llamas, alpacas, swans, peacocks, pheasants, many types of fowl will be included as...
I have heard of using sponges to kill coyotes. If anyone has an experience:
Does it need to be a natural sea sponge?
Does the sponge need to be tied in a ball with cotton rope, so it expands in the stomach?
Do you place it in a meatball, or soak it in bacon grease or ?
In all the years I have raised pheasants- This is a new one!
I purchased some golden males put them in a crate and when I went to get them out of the crate, all 6 were stuck together in one ball. They had long tails but somehow they get tangled together. 2 males pulled loose when I got them...

The domestic hens are a Pearl and a Royal Purple. The hybrids are getting the Vulturine colors. Here are photos of the oldest hybrids: (the color is better than what the...
Anybody else with Mule duck photos?
MULE DUCKS:
We raised about 20 mule ducks this year, Rouen drakes on lilac muscovy hens. Most are Black with greenish/purplish heads and backs. Very beautiful, just can't get a good photo.
A bunch are blue with different irredescent sheen.

How are everyone's sales going this fall on surplus peafowl?
The interest seems to be high. We had about 80 breeder peafowl and have sold almost all already in the last 6 weeks. Only have 13 left out of the 80, but have some more that we be coming home from the zoo's in the next few weeks. Plus...
When we were done shipping Muscovy eggs this summer, we turned them all loose to free range- so most of the hens went and built nests.
Well now we have a muscovy explosion! One hen hatched 25 babies herself. Most of the others have 12 to 14 babies. In the last couple weeks over 150 ducklings...

Why do people post a topic- asking questions, then when they comeback with an update a week or two later they start a new thread??????????
Why not just go back to the orgininal thread and post the update on there?
For me--- if I did not see the orginal post..... then I do not know the back...
Score--- just went out to finish late night chores (pick peacock eggs, water brooders, check incubators, give calf a bottle) when the dog barked by the pheasant pens.
After watching her for a bit she went back to a tree- where she had tree'd a coon. She is only about 18 months old so is still...
