    Emu may be stuck inside the egg?

    It can take them a while to work their way out. I wouldn't be concerned just yet.

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    That would help a lot. I bought these off a friend when they were younger for $70 for the pair and raised them up, and wasn't sure what the going rate for a year old pair would be.

    A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

    Does anyone know of a place or breeder that's selling Royal Palm pairs that I can use as a proof of value for the birds? I've had a crazy day today and part of it is that a dog killed a pair of my Palms. The owners are GOING to pay me back, or I'll be taking it to court, and I need something to...

    The Quack Shack

    I had quite the day. Last night before I went to sleep at midnight I checked my cameras for the emu pasture - I do it every night to make sure all is well. All was not well. I saw a dog repeatedly going into and out of the emu barn, meaning it had gotten into the emu pasture somehow. I jumped...

    The Quack Shack

    Hello all! Today was busy. I went and picked up a Pilgrim gander to go with that rescue goose I took in. However, now looking at his size compared to her, I'm worried she's maybe not a Pilgrim. Anyone in here keep them and can weigh in? Please excuse the mud, we are in mud season full swing...

    The Quack Shack

    Because of that reason, conservation efforts are underway to put up 'fake' chimneys for them to live in! VINS in Vermont is working with Audubon Vermont to get some up. Here's a video of one going up:

    ➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

    I've got a batch of celadon layers just coming into lay. Tonight as I was out topping up water I see one of the hens with what looks like a bloody mass hanging out of her vent. Upon closer inspection, it's an egg that was most of the way out but somehow dried to the tissue of her vent, causing...

    Review by 'Pyxis' in article 'Montanachickenss Chicken Coop'

    Looks like an awesome coop for raising meat birds in each year.

    Review by 'Pyxis' in article 'How to Ready a Rooster for a Show!'

    A good article about bathing a chicken before a show. I might add something about when you let it go after the bath, don't let it go back free ranging in the mud, haha.

    2023/2024 Emu Hatch-A-Long

    13...and my friend Tom handed me a box of nine more yesterday :oops: I'm trying to be good and not set them, and instead sell them for him. So...anyone want some eggs? Lol. They're from two unrelated pairs.

    2023/2024 Emu Hatch-A-Long

    My oldest eggs are 32 days in now so I did some whistling, and 10 is alive! B14 I'm pretty sure is too - it rolled instead of wiggling, but I didn't bump the table so I think it moved so hard it rolled itself, haha. 12 I think I saw move. 13 maybe a little too, but that's the one I'm most...

    Sure! I'll message you with the zip codes :) I used a quick tool to check because I was curious, and distance by land transport is almost 3000 miles :eek: As the crow flies is about 2500.

    TSC Assorted Duckling Breeds

    There's a chance that these are Golden 300s. They're a type of sex-linked mixed breed. The chocolate ones would be girls, and the one little one with the black would be a drake, if so. Or, as Jed said, they might be Golden Cascades, a Buff, and a Silver Appleyard.

    2023/2024 Emu Hatch-A-Long

    I always mix a little bit of chick grit into their food. Not a ton, just a couple sprinkles. Day 17 and day 4! So I'm still in the wait and see stage with them all. BUT, my friend that sold me the first four eggs just had her first chick hatch! So chances are very good that these are fertile...
