So I was getting meat birds butchered yesterday and they told me 1 bird from the guy they did before had Hepititas. What the heck does that mean? It of course was rejected but no one seemed to jump to much??? Like In the back of my mind i was like omg!! Is it something that occurs sometimes to...
Hey Guys so i do have a pecking problem, They have been attacking my Turkey Toms butt a bit and i want to put something on that they wont peck at! what other than the Blue-kote can you put on? is that stuff just like blue paint?? So a skin spray on paint should work eh? or maybe another remedy?
I am about to be ordering the peepers also as i have bad feather picking problems...Like a good 10hens picked backs and they irritate my Tom turkey also on his butt! hoping this will fix the problem i will be putting peepers on all to start and then remove when the feathers are all back and see...
Hey thanks makes me feel a bit more assured the Sawdust may not have been the culprit but i'll play the waiting game...see how everyone is in the next few days!
So I got sawdust from work that has a combination of Pine, Maple, Oak , and Minor amount of Regular cedar nothing aromatic...I put it in on Sunday(Into my front run for absorbing wet mud!) and In my coop...Today found a Dead barny Hen in a nest box....Is it possible she was egg bound? or Could...
I would wait and see to I have 4 Roo's with 19 hens all from chick and they don't fight at all or over attack the hens...I have more problems with a few feather picking hens i have to find!!
Ok that is good to know! That is what i'll do then I don't mind having some bantams...Is it a issue to have bantams with Full size or is that a big no no??
How would people go about this i can get These Bantam size BLR W and only Silver Laced, Golden Laced and White full size...if i got some bantam size and mixed say a BLR w with a Silver laced Fullsize hen or Roo what would people use to cross and retain Some color to breed to full size...
I currently have a Pair of Ridley Bronze Turkeys(heritage turkeys) And i want to order some Royal Palm Turkeys will it be ok to keep a pair of those with them when they are grown out? I have a 8 x 16ft run for them right now and summer i'll let them free range...Might add a hen to each male to...
So SOMETHING has managed to climb over a 7ft fence and into my chicken run during night I know my bad but i had no issues before with this i leave my animals to roam day and night and the animal in question has killed 3 chickens...3 ducks and a Fully grown Tom turkey...what is it! I lock them...
SO 1 of my toms were dead this morning in there house...No warning at all. The others look all good only thing is its been -8C at night last 2 days. But they are Heritage turkeys but i Could a tom kill another tom in just 1 evening??? Out of the blue? I still have 2 toms in the Run with the hen...
None taken, I want to see how they come along as they Have been brutally fighting as there are to many roo's(which i will be fixing today!) They are all about 12 weeks old so color wise i know it is hard as they are still "coming in" but alot of feathers are lets just say ...>Missing lol...Here...
