    New roo issue

    Good morning all..... a few weeks back I shared the story of my frizzle roo that was trying to flog me and was very aggressive. I gave up the ghost and gave him away. That was last Wednesday. The energy in the coop was wonderful. So relaxed and the two remaining roos seemed to enjoy having...

    Aggressive Roo

    Hello all.... I have a flock of 19 which include 3 roo's - 1 Americana and 2 Frizzle. All the crew were purchased around the same time and grew up together.

    To keep or not to keep???

    I rescued a Cayuga male (Cranberry Sauce) about 2 years ago that has terrorized my hens AND turkeys trying to mate with them since we brought him home. My DH went to Tractor Supply 2 months ago and picked up 2 baby ducks (Pekins) for him to play with. He totally ignores them. They are bigger...

    A lil info please.... :-)

    I got 5 turkey peeps last spring, 3 white and 2 black. My thought process was to harvest the 3 white for meat and keep the black pair to have peeps in the spring. Well, it didn't pan out that way. I love seeing them in my yard, I love seeing the males do the "I'm better than you are" dance...

    Kill but don't eat

    I started out my winter season with 42 chickens and 9 guineas. I am now down to 19 chickens and 9 guineas. My coop is secure, but I would find a chicken dead in the woods or in the yard very evidently with it's neck broke. What predator would kill but not eat? TIA.

    Wry Neck in new chick

    This is a 1 day old chick. She started looking to the ceiling of the incubator as soon as she came out. She does seem to be thriving but I want to make sure I'm doing the correct treatment. None of the other chicks in the incubator came out like this. Just her. I've been told to use...
