crossbeak?
Is she eating and drinking on her own? We have a baby chick just like that, and she's doing fine now but I'm worried about her as she gets older. :/- Pinkbow1

crossbeak?
I have a baby chick right now with a terrible cross beak :/ We got her like that from the hatchery about a month ago and didn't think anything of it since she was (and still is) eating and drinking just fine. Hopefully she'll be okay as she grows up.- Pinkbow1

Get a Pheasant Or Not?
I own chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, and duck. Would it be a bad idea to raise a pair of pheasants with that whole mixture of birds? Or do they have special needs and requirements? I thought it would be cool to have some because I know a woman who hatches them and would sell me a male and...- Pinkbow1

Raising Turkeys with Kids
A turkey could get scared if it sees something running up to it quickly, and will even run after it if somethings running away if it feels threatened. My brother got scratched across his whole chest from not approaching the turkey slowly and safely, instead he was running through the backyard... -

Breeding Turkey
I have separate pens I'll probley split them up in if I don't sell a few by then. I'm hoping to make them free range by the time their grown up completely, or just let them roam my backyard. -
I Found a Stray Blue Swedish Duck
Duckling would be fun, I'm almost positive he's a HE, lol. A little hen duck would make a great pal for him. As I said, he hangs out with the turkeys allot. It's funny to walk in the pen and he's snuggling his head against my turkeys! I heard Blue Swedish ducks are often standoffish except for... -
Breeding Turkey
This is my first time having a hen turkey- not so much morals, but uh, my own comon sense. NO, i've never had livestock before. Didn't know... That's maybe why I asked???? -
I Found a Stray Blue Swedish Duck
lol, I grew attached to him very quickly, must say wild ducks are not at all as tame as domestics. I think getting a mallard duckling would be awsome! -
Slow moving 2 month old turkey
Check his legs. One of my poults had legs that grew too far apart. Which caused him to lay down quite a bit, then he eventually died. It's common for poults to grow a leg that is turned 90 degrees, especially in turkeys that are bred for eating. Their body mass outgrows their legs, it's... -

I Found a Stray Blue Swedish Duck
Okay, so my friend and I were checking out duck hunting spots and scouting around some lakes and we found 2 stray domestic ducks- one was a Blue Swedish, and the other was a white duck that someone had most likely let loose there. We were easily able to capture the Blue Swedish duck, but the... -
Slow moving 2 month old turkey
As long as he isn't always laying down, I wouldn't be too worried. A calm turkey makes a great turkey! Altough, if he lays down and sleeps allot, I'd be worried because it COULD be an indication he isn't healthy. Just give him lots of human interaction and he'll turn out great. Some turkeys... -
The Turkey or Poult or the egg what is better to start with ?
I've had many turkeys and I personally think choosing a poult is the best when wanting to raise a successfully friendly and tame turkey because you can go in and see which turkey is the calmest, and you can pick your favorite. Going in to a hatchery is the best choice. By then the poults are... -
Breeding Turkey
I have 3 tom turkeys and 1 hen turkey. They're all from the same trio.... If I decided to keep them, would they breed? It's naturally a disgusting thought to me. But it's not like I could prevent it from happening. Would they breed & produce eggs? -
Extreme Heat
My flock-o-birds LOVE it when I spray down their pen when it's watering time. It also makes it easier for them to find grains when it's muddy because they don't blend in with the dirt as much. It wakes them all up a little, but don't spray directly at them, you don't want to harm any. (: It's...- Pinkbow1

Why Are Adult Turkeys So Expensive???
If they don't sell soon, I'll probley raise my price as they grow. They're healthy narragansetts. -
Why Are Adult Turkeys So Expensive???
I live in Idaho, a woman I know breeds all kinds of turkeys and other poultry. She'll charge you $3 for a poult, and if they die she'll replace them for free! It's great. $10 seemed really cheap around here. I bought them for $25, which is still cheap compared to what most people are charging... -
Why Are Adult Turkeys So Expensive???
I was shocked today when I saw people on Craigslist selling their adult turkeys from costs ranging from $30-$80! I thought this was an outstanding price since you can buy poults from $3-$5. One person was selling their turkey trio for $120. The breeds aren't THAT rare... Mostly narragansett's...
