Lol, thank you ... That's kind of what I was afraid to hear. I'm not sure I can handle more turkeys. So far they are the noisiest & neediest of all my animals! But I think you are probably right. Unfortunately I think no matter how many hens he has, he thinks he's one of the dogs and...

I have a tom who is a little less than a year old. I've had him and a hen since they were about a week old. He's very friendly and attached to people. They free range along with my 6 peacocks and some chickens. He is obsessed with us. He sits by the windows and doors waiting for us to...

I'm in California. My husband has wanted an Emu for many years and I think now is the right time to add one to our farm. I would love to get him one for Father's Day, so I am starting to research them. I can't seem to find any close by. Is is safe to have them shipped? Where should I start...

I am in the process of designing a new coop for my 8 chicks, which are 3 weeks old. I also want to incorporate my 4-5 week old goslings (2) and ducks (2). I am EXPECTING, because I know myself, that i will be expanding the number of birds I have. Turkeys? Peacocks? An emu guardian? I have...

Thank you guys! You've made me feel much better. I have them in their new temporary home now, out of that stuffy rubbermaid tub. They have three times as much room and wood pellets instead of shavings. They are racing and flying around like 4 year old kids! And they have never acted sick in...

I'm new here. I appreciate any advice as I have never had chickens before. I have 8 chicks all the same age - 3 weeks approximately. 3 silkies, 3 Frizzles, 2 Ameracaunas. They are in a Rubbermaid plastic tub with shavings (which are a nightmare and someone told me to buy pellets which I...

Thanks for the reply! Do you think I should get another Indian Runner (and should it be black like her?), or is it okay to get another type of duck?

I am new to BYC, having recently purchased my first birds. I have two African goslings, female aged 4-5 weeks. I have (had) two female black Indian Runner ducks, bought at the same time, same ages. All four girls were growing like weeks and great friends. This past weekend while I was away...
