    Blue slate turkey poult question, with lots of pics

    My thing in turkeys are Slates. I have other varieties, but will always raise the Slates. I realize this is an old thread, but in case anyone else wanted to know sometime... The greyish ones with the white faces are Splash/Slates. The ones which are all lighter will be Self Blue/Lavenders...

    refrigerated eggs for hatching

    I found a neighbor had duck eggs and since we have a world's supply of snails and millions of Banana Slugs here at the farm (and I raise heritage vegetables for seed), I decided I needed ducks. I don't bring live chicks in unless it is from a certified source (NPIP), usually incubate fertile...

    What is your elevation? Many times it can cause heart failure. Especially with Cornish X and and the so-called "Nicholas White" turkeys. Cedar

    Anyone order from Farwest hatchery out of Oregon??

    I stopped by there today on my way back home from a doctors appointment, as we did not get a call after placing our order a week and a half ago.

    Chicken attacked by dog

    The honey I used came from 2 sources. My friend's bee hives in Wisconsin and my bf's hives in the Corvallis, Oregon area. Both are raw and both are filtered (gotta get rid of the bee wings and such *ugh*). Like I said, before a couple years ago I would have said BS and 'you are going to kill...

    Chicken attacked by dog

    I have been a vet tech for 20+ years and normally until the last couple of years I would have shaved it with a #40 blade, cleaned it with Betadine/Povodine, antibiotics etc. But the new thing I have been doing is proven thus far on for a stray cat who had mastitis and sloughed off 4 of her...

    Anyone order from Farwest hatchery out of Oregon??

    I know Terry and have met him several times. There has been some health issues on top of starting out, but I think all is better now. He is a really nice guy and seems to have a true love of birds. He has been hatching for others for a long time and is very knowledgeable. Cedar

    Greetings from soggy, rainy Oregon!!!

    It is quite beautiful and SOOOOO quiet there. It will be a challenge however as there is alot of wildlife who I am sure would love a poultry dinner, not to mention cougar and bear. But we will have to work out a compromise... like leave my livestock alone and you can live. I realize I am moving...
