    I assumed they were atleast similar in how well they would work, but knowing which is easier to use or alteast more common to find, was the point of the question.

    Freezing butchered turkeys

    What is the best way to freeze a butchered turkey? I can't find freezer bags over 1 gallon size, or I would just use that. As far as how long they will be in the freezer, just from this weekend to Thanksgiving. Any help would be much appreciated.

    1 single hen dead each morning - may not be a predator?

    I have been through the coop and pen multiple times, not really seeing any places I feel something could get in. When I built everything I had rats in mind. I put a radio in the coop and keep it on 24/7 and no longer let my flock free range late in the evening, the killing has stopped. But I...

    1 single hen dead each morning - may not be a predator?

    I never thought of them being in the rafters or even nesting in them. The blood I mentioned was accompanied by an egg half way coming out, hopefully it has nothing to do with a disease. The mink that was spotted earlier this year was bigger than a ferret, very dark in color. They tend to be...

    1 single hen dead each morning - may not be a predator?

    For the most part, opossum, raccoon, mink and skunk is what I will have problems with. Foxes and coyotes don't come close to my area. How much more can I add? The coop is built like a shed, all walls, ceiling and floor is made with plywood, windows and pen area are covered with 3 layers of...
