    Hatching Red Sex-linked

    What happens when a red sex linked rooster mates with a red sex linked hen? What are those chicks like? Are they just like the parents or are the their own thing? Are you able to tell the sex by the color like their parents??

    Gender confused hen...

    So my burbon red female hen came up to me yesterday, puffed out her feathers, spread her tail feathers, bent her head, basically displayed for me, and then started to make odd noises that hens do not make as if she was trying to gobble. This went on for a while, she walked around me a bit. I've...

    Turkeys laying eggs, now what

    Yes, one was cracked but im not sure what it is exactly im looking for. My dad said something about the yolk having something white on it? The yolk i looked at had nothing white anywhere in it, just yellow.

    Turkeys laying eggs, now what

    My two Burbon Red turkeys started laying eggs, however i do not believe they are fertile. What should i do now, keep collecting them and wait? How many eggs will they each lay? They each have a male with them but i haven't seen any mating yet this year.

    wry neck in Pheasants

    Ya we always seem to get one every once in a while, they can make it to adult hood but there isnt much to say after that.

    Quote: i totally agree, just like a teenager! Ive always thought that too, for being, in my opinion the most beautiful bird, before they mature they sure do look ugly!

    Escaped Pheasant!

    In my many years of raising pheasants this sounds more like a fluke. I think age has a lot to do with it though. The younger they are the more they seem to stick around after escaping and even try to get back in. The older they get the less they try to stick around for some reason. But it isnt...

    What's your opinion?

    My turkeys thought they were bantam chickens and had to be part of my small group of 5. They didnt really follow the other chickens around, just the bantams! They all got along though just fine. Free ranging them probably helped though but at night they would also try to roost with them. I...

    Quote: That box turtle was your pest the whole time! They've been known to eat all the chickens out of a coop in one night then slowly make their get away into the night.

    raising turkeys

    I got my first turkeys last August and i love them and wish i would have had turkeys for years before this. I really dont think they are that hard to raise at all. I also heard horror stories about starting them but i really haven't run into any problems myself. If youve rasied all those other...

    When can they live in the coop with chickens???

    That could be it, they are very social. When we took our turkey out of the pheasent pen, he about broke his neck trying to get back in by squeezing through the fence. We solved that problem by getting more turkeys. But they still follow the chickens around.

    How old is too old to eat turkey?

    I got these two last year along with another one that was a few weeks older. I did him for Thanksgiving and planned to raise these two and incubate the eggs this spring. Well the blue slate turned out to be a male, we were told that it was a female. Now i dont feel like eating either of them but...

    Is it possible to tell gender of pheasant chicks?

    A spur, like on a rooster of a chicken, is located on the back of the leg and is used by the rooster for fighting. Since it is the males that have them, youll be able to see them developing on the chick's legs.

    How old is too old to eat turkey?

    One is a Royal Palm and the other is a Blue Slate. Both are the same age and are now a little over one year old. Like i said, i didnt plan to eat them but my dad was curious.

    Raccoon or Fox?

    Well i lost my 5 bantams but none of my dads chickens were killed, he has regular sized ones but they were all in the same flock. For whatever reason they went after my bantys.
