    Chicks not hatching?

    Hi all, I've just wrapped a batch of hatching and had some disappointing results. Out of 2 dozen Red Bourbon turkey eggs, I have only 6 live poults (Plus 1 who pipped but died before hatching). I cleared out in the incubator today and opened up the remaining eggs to find that they all...

    Dangerous Incubator Temp

    Hi all, On Sunday morning I noticed that suddenly my incubator temps had soared to 110F! The incubators and turner are plugged into a power bar that by accident was momentarily flicked off and back on again, and this is the only thing I can think off that could have caused the sudden burst in...

    Ameraucana?

    Recently acquired Mr. Glen Coco and Jelelle. The sale said they were Ameraucana, but they don't seem to quite match up. He doesn't have any fuzz/feather on his cheeks. Mostly bought them as some pretty lawn ornaments.

    Quick Partridge Pen/Cage?

    Hi all. My dear old dad went out and bought 2 pair of Hungarian Partridge Friday without a decent place to put them. They are currently living in yellow shipping crates. Does anyone have a design I can slap together quickly so the poor birds can spread their wings a bit? He plans on reno-ing an...

    Lost And Found!

    About a week or two back our black hen went missing, and we thought a coyote had nabbed her, as it took one of our toms earlier in the year. Walking around yesterday, I discovered her nesting under a raised shed foundation in the shadows, in plain sight no less! Now our blue slate hen has gone...

    Fighter Goose!

    I've got a small flock with a pair of Africans, a pair of white Chinese, and a few Embdens (Never can get them to stand still long enough to count!). I've also got two lonely ducks, a large Pekin who kinda fits in, and a little bitty female Muscovy that we hatched and raised. They pretty much...

    Strutting and Displays

    I have only 6 turkeys right now (looking to expand) of a few breeds. Until recently, we though we had 2 males and 4 females. For the past few weeks, every time I look at our Blue Slate tom, he's on display and gobbling. The other known male is also Blue Slate, and although he never puffs up or...

    The Trailer-Coop

    My father and I have been debating plans for building a coop. I want to build a wooden one from scratch, but he wants to turn a big old camper trailer into a gigantic coop. Although this isn't it, this is kind of what it looks like, but much...

    New Kid...

    Hi there! I'm Rachel from Thorold, ON, CAN. I live on a little farm, and right now we only have horses and a herd of barn cats. I've been trying for years to convince my parents to get some birds, and it finally might be happening (Although the "Finally its happening stage" has happened before...
