I actually use eggs in my mash, they love it. I'll have to try some of the other things.
Crooky is doing good and growing nicely. I asked the feedstore if they had vitamins for chickens and they looked at me like I was crazy, lol. I haven't bought the infant ones yet but she seems to be doing...
Oh wow, I see what you mean. He is a cutie =)
I hope to get some more Turkens next year, so now I'll know they get big combs young. Ours were from a hen run this time, I just wasn't sure since I've never seen them before. Thank you all
Thank you, I'll be sure to check it out. I don't really care what breed we had, I was just curious and figured I'd try to learn something about these breeds.
That is so sad about your eggs.. but so glad you got 2 out of it! I loved reading your story. =) I've never ordered eggs before, we usually just order day old chicks from the hatchery who ships them to our feed store here.
Sorry about the roo, we have 4 at the moment, 3 months old, and 2 of them...
So sorry about your loss. I hope you find another good dog soon enough to help you with the chickens.
I don't think breed matters, what matters is the dogs personality/prey drive. We own an Australian Shepherd and my sister owns her sister. Our dog is great with the chickens, she doesn't care...
Can chickens eat catnip? Ours were outside the other day picking at it and eating a bit of it, I'm just wanting to know if this is ok. I've put chicken wire around it till I know for sure, but I'd like to take it off because we had it where the cats could get to a side of it. You can see how it...
Thank you for the info, I'll keep trying their site as well so I can check it out.
and LOL at your bottom comment, you have no idea how many "stupid" dog breeders are around here. I just laugh when I see them ads in the paper.
Oh my, I want to see them babies when they hatch and as they grow! We have a cochin frizzle bantam roo as well I was thinking about breeding to the turkens next year, so would Love to see yours. Your Turkens are lovely, love the whiteish one.
I hope the hens matter, I was hopping breeding them...
