I was wondering the samething? I threw a full cup of the stuff on the open ground and the chicken and wild birds haven't hardly touched it. Months ago a friend of mine had gave me a full bag a scratch after she lost all her hens to a coyote and my girls wouldn't touch it. It was mainly emptly...
I think I've read somewhere That the BBB's will have a flat chest and it will not be curved. I have a 8 wk old BBB poult and it's flat maybe that'll help. Good Luck.
BTW~ This is my first poult
sorry I haven't been back. my sweet neighbor down the road has a couple of turkey poults that are a few weeks older and has hers on Nutrena all flock grower and gave me some to see if mine would eat it and mine took right to it. Thank the Lord, I was at a loss. So I went yesterday and bought a...
Our BBB is now 8 weeks old and I just bought it's first bag of gamebird grower on sunday and was mixing it with the rest of the starter that was left. Well we ran out of the starter Wednesday morning and my poult refuses to eat the grower. I don't know what to do. Right now it's eating hard...
Dan, My hubby and I have really have took a good look at my poult since yesterday and this morning while playing with one of the barred rock hens, the only one that will play with poult. We for sure have a tom on our hands! The hen started eated out of his food bowl and I guess he didn't like it...
Thanks for posting this thread. My BBB is just a week younger than yours and they're identical. Hasn't actually gobbled but made a sound yesterday that was very close and funny. I think he scared himself.
I was really watching today. Mainly just strutting, kinda dancing. lol... not charging. Even tried to do it to my feet while I was in the kitchen doing dishes. Yes stinker!!
Our little BBB poult has turned a month old and is thriving and growing like a weed.
My question is "she" has started when playing with the dogs, she's still in the house. Not ready be to put outside yet, Will ruffle her feathers, drop her winds down and "charge" with head down. Then run the...
We have it ground, then about 8 and 12, 18 and and 24" then top, still don't know how?? We moved one of the gamecamera to actually inside the run pointing to the corner of the coop that we know it came out of, so I'm hoping if it does try to get back in we can see exactly what night, what time...
Might sound silly, but my poult hated the clear heat lamp I think it hurt her eyes, as soon as we changed it to a red one she hushed. You might already have one, but if not maybe a suggestion.
Good Luck!
Forgot to mention in my post i also have electric fencing, and I know chicken wire is worst a thing. Did a lot of work to to run and coop yesterday, and I hope it helps.
