    Keeping roosters with a tom?

    Personally I would not recommend putting turkeys with chickens. I have 36 hens, 4 roosters, 1 tom and 1 hen turkey whom all free range on 20 acres.

    What to do with all these eggs?!?!?!?!

    Is that safe to feed your chickens their own eggs back to them? I feel like I've read on here that's not a good idea? But that could be my imagination. I have the same problem I'm getting on average 3 dozen a day.

    Adding new birds to flock?? Need ideas

    Oh no I cleaned out the coop put new wood shaving in, dusted everyone and gave everyone antibiotic in their water when I got them all home. I don't have a way to put them in a completely different area away from the others so I should leave them in dog craig for a week?
