    Dilemma About An Outdoor Cat Hanging Around My House..

    I tear strips of newspaper and put in a box on my back porch. The newspaper gives them warmth, and its fairly easy to change out when needed. The stray/ lonely kitties usually will be found in the box versus a shed.

    Sick Turkey on the mend but his hen is attacking him!

    He defends himself , he puffs all feathers out and it's the ugliest fight! I'm worried that hes not strong enough or that it'll take too much out of him as he's still fairly shaky and shes absolutely vicious!

    Sick Turkey on the mend but his hen is attacking him!

    Wow, just went to check on the turkeys and she's making the softest "coo's" to him and as usual Dumb is standing right outside her fence.

    Sick Turkey on the mend but his hen is attacking him!

    Hey all! I have a 6 month old BBB pair of turkeys, the tom (loving named dumb) got sick 3 days ago very lethargic, refused to eat or drink. the hen (loving named dumber) kept picking fights brutally and he'd hold his own, although I feared for both as it was ugly! So I figured it was because he...

    Silkie thread!

    I'm new to raising chickens and bought 4 silkies from IFA. 3 are roosters so I finally found some hens for sale today and brought them home. The roosters are being very rough with them is this the "pecking order" or do I need to separate them? The hens are quite a bit smaller size wise and they...
