Hi BYC! I have five turkey hens for sale! $75 takes them all and I will throw in a copy of Storey's Guide to Raising Turkeys! The two oldest hens are a year and a half old... they've been bred and are excellent layers. They began laying in February and continued to the end of September. The...

***The price of $25 is for all 7 hens (rooster is optional/free, I understand not everyone wants one/can have one).*** Hi BYC!I have 7 hens and 1 rooster who need a new home! They are about 8 months old and were bought as chicks from Tractor Supply this last spring. They are very hardy--this...

Hi everyone! I'm kind of new to chickens (most of my experience is with turkeys and emu lol) but I share a property with my Mother in Law who has a small flock of Rhode Island Reds and Easter Eggers... 20 or so hens. My main concern is that her flock looks SO raggedy... and I'm not sure what's...

Hi everyone! I have a hen sitting on some eggs right now (she started about a week ago) and I made a makeshift nesting "bucket" right next to her nest (so that the other girls would see it and not use her box). Well, it worked very well... maybe too well... because I went to give them a...

This is Buck, a beautiful, dominant Spanish Black tom... he is 2 years old, 35-40lbs (he is big!) and is extremely friendly and docile. He is great with people, dogs, goats, ducks, and chickens (though he has not been raised around them--I would let him and his hens wander around the yard...

Hi there! I'm looking to expand my flock... I'm interested in finding 2 dozen Standard Bronze Turkey eggs for hatching... I don't want to order from a huge hatchery or anything like that (plus I want to help out my fellow BYC-ers) . I'm willing to pay $3 per egg and shipping costs. If anyone can...

First off, I just want to give a big ol' THANK YOU to everybody on this forum, I wouldn't have made it this far without everyone's posts and info! So thanks, you guys!! Today is Day 45 of my emu egg incubation... I have two of the buggers, and I've been keeping them at 96-97°F(usually around...

I know you guys have all heard this before, but I'm new to ratites... Not new to incubating eggs, though! Last Friday, my Uncle in Law got a call from a guy who lives down the road from us regarding emu eggs... I guess his pair had finally started laying, and my UIL wants emus. He asked me if...
