    MARYLAND THREAD!

    I think we are interested. Have to run it past my Dear Hubbie! We miss having turkeys around. Is the Tom friendly enough to let roam around the farmyard with the chickens and barn cats?

    What predators do you have

    We have racoons and day time foxes!! We also have hawks. We started with 27 chicks and let them free range during the day. We now only have 9 of the original flock. Very sad.

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    We are near Prince Frederick. Love to hear more info about your turkeys. We used to have Broad Breasted Bronzes. We were thinking about getting a different kind of turkey. We will go to the fair - but we don't show anything.

    MARYLAND THREAD!

    Hi everyone! We live in Calvert County near Prince Frederick. We have 20 hens and no roosters. I have a broody chicken (Buff Minorca) that I would love to give fertilized eggs to.

    I have been struggling with the same issue for the last few weeks! Our hens are almost 19 weeks old now.
