I would be interested in bourbon reds. Let me know if you have any available. Mary

I haven't seen any wild turkeys around our place, but I know there are some about 2 miles from here. I'd be really surprised if any showed up here. There is a lot of traffic around us. I'm going to either order some hatching eggs or poults. Mary

Well, I got my answer today. We had both turkeys out of their pens, free ranging for the first time since last year. They were both flirting with me and they both gobbled. So now I know for sure I have 2 toms. No eggs this year. I'll have to order some babies. Mary

The beard isn't very big and the snood is small. I have never seen it get long like our other turkey. The turkeys are almost 8 months old. It hasn't laid any eggs At what age do they start laying eggs? Mary

Okay, thanks I was hoping I had one of each. Mary

This is my first time having turkeys. I feel stupid asking this, but do hens have beards? I have a bourbon red turkey and we yet to figure out if it a tom or a hen. One thing is I have heard it gobble, but it has been a long time since it has done that. Two, is it's neck isn't anything like our...

Finally, today was a gorgous day. I have officially turned off my heat lamps. They will now have to get along without the extra heat. My DH is so funny, he put night lights in their pens. Our turkey hen was so afraid of it, she went into her pen and came running back out just carrying on. Boy...

I plan on coming. This will be my first time, I'm so excited and nervous. I have BO chicks and BO/cochin chicks to sell. Do I bring boxes or something to put the chicks in for the customer? How much does it cost to park? What time does the swap open? any info would be great Thanks Mary

Welcome Melissa, I live between Cedar Rapids and Fairfax. Sometimes we camp at Walnut Acres. I can hardly wait for spring. This winter has been too long. I just hatched 2 buff orpington chicks, 1 more in the hatcher. It was iffy, so I'm not sure if it will hatch. Today is the actual hatch date...

Today is my day 20, and I woke up to a baby chick chirping away. Late this afternoon another egg has pip. Man it takes them a long time to hatch. It's driving me nuts. I only had 3 eggs that went into the hatcher. Good luck on your hatch!!!

Are turkeys like chickens, do they need oyster shells? My turkey hen just turned 8 months old, so I'm figuring she should be laying soon. I didn't know if I needed to put a bowl of oyster shells out for her. She isn't getting to free range due the 50" of snow on the ground. So they have been in...

I have 3 Buff orps due in 3 days.

I live right outside Cedar Rapids and we got 13.5 inches of snow. Also there is more to come, ugh. I'm so tried of snow and the cold. I haven't let my turkeys or chicken free range since the begininng of December. I know they are getting awfully tried of snow. I'm trying to think Spring !!!!

My sisters think I'm nuts. They can't believe I'm hatching and raising chickens and turkeys. They didn't think I would like any kind of farming. Makes me sad that they really don't know me very well. The chickens actually relax me, they are my stress relief. If I need to get away, I go down to...

I just ordered the Hova-bator 1588 from Culter Supply for $110.00. Their website is cultersupply.com.

I have the same problem. I had to bring a hen from the barn. She had inch long gashes just under her wings. So I put her in a kennel in my garage. She loved being babied and getting all the treats just for herself. I kept her in the garage for a week. I just put her back, the other hens didn't...

I bought my water wiggler at Walmart in the toy section for .88. I thought humdity should be between 50 - 65%. I'm not positive. Does somebody else know for sure what it should be? I'm fairly new at this.

Okay, I just fill my incubator with my BO eggs. I have never tried to hatch any of their eggs. They are know 9 months old now. I'm hoping my cockeral is doing his job. My DH doesn't think any of the eggs will hatch. I went out and got a water wiggler. I've been running my incubator almost a...

I haven't noticed our Tom doing anything yet, but he sure likes to show off. When I come out he always fans his feathers, gobbles and struts. I probably better go ahead and put a nesting box in the barn for her. They don't like anything new, they'll need time to get use to it.
