I have found my favorite meat chicken and the variety is ironic because of present cost of these varieties. It is the huge Greenfire line light and Coronation Sussex. These birds get huge and put on weight pretty fast. Butchered 9 roos yesterday at about 14 weeks. Even with only about 8 hours of...

I have 7 extra Coronation Cockerals. Big and docile. Greenfire stock. $50 each. Pickup only. No shipping in this summer heat. Orange county California. 92653. Mike 949-735-6993 for serious inquiries.

I have a broody hen who is raising three poults that are now about 3 weeks. Excellent natural turkey mom. Just hatched 6 poults today that had to be pulled from a nest because 2 hens were starting to fight over them as they were pipping. Would the mom and older poults likely accept the newcomers...

I have a few day old poults under a Beltsville hen. This was a first attempt at using a broody turkey hen. Not sure how many exactly but at least 2, maybe up to 8 if all eggs made it. Pulled clear eggs and quitters up to a week ago. Will take pictures in a couple of days once she settles in. She...

Some things have to be learned the hard way. I learned several things last night but mostly bigger brooders are not always better for young poults. For this season I built several larger brooders for my poults and chicks. Last year they looked way to crowded at times. Most are in my garage...

I was curious how easy it is for other BYCers to sell healthy heritage poults. In my area which is rather urban I am having an unexpectedly hard time generating any interest in poults. Granted I will not ship poults but that is true with most hobby breeders. How has this year been for others?

I have my first broody turkey hen. Lucky for her as she is one of my favorites and I was searching for a justification for keeping her at least another year. She has been sitting for a couple of weeks on 3 eggs that all candle fertile. She is in a large coop and run with 3 toms and 3 other hens...

I have Midget white, Auburn and heritage bronze based poults available for local pickup only. $8 each. Most were hatched on 5/1. A few are 1 and 2 weeks old. Not easy to find in Orange County CA at any price. Please do not push buy it now. PM me to place an order or for any questions. My...

Is it a good idea to use betadine or other antiseptic on the drying belly button tissue of new chicks to minimize the chances of infection. I have a couple this season that got infected and it was a nasty way to die.

Has anyone here routinely treated the drying stump/belly button with betadine or other antiseptic to avoid the hopefully rare death from that area getting infected? Does it help or just leave them in the Bator an extra day or so? Have lost a couple to that problem this year and it was ugly.

My hatches are gradually getting larger. Up to now I have just put all my chicks in a brooder which has a single 100 watt infrared bulb and have had no trouble with up to 2 dozen in a single brooder. I have several brooders and heat lamps so figured it was time to ask how many chicks or poults...

Well like so many others I am sick of rehoming or eating all my roosters because of their crowing and can't do the breeding I want to do without a partner in an area with rural zoning laws. I have heard of some people making special sound insulated coops for roos and have begun to consider it...

Just got a call from home that there are several wild ducklings in my fenced in side yard that normally houses a cat and 3 chihuahuas. These little guys are way too young to have flown in and mama is no where to be seen. Told my family to take the pets out of the pen and let momma come rescue...

It is probably a lost cause but I still have to ask one or two times a year. Does anyone have or know of a source for Gould's wild turkey poults or eggs. Would love to raise some.

If anyone has some Silver Sussex hatching eggs they are willing to part with please PM me with details. Thanks, Mike

How many weeks after hatching can you securely determine which of your chicks is developing as pure Coronation Sussex vs Coronation/Light sussex split when you are working with a mixture of known pure and split eggs. The eggs are not labeled of course. LOL. Just date layed. This is I problem I...

Please do not push buy it now. PM me so I can answer questions and provide you with the eggs you want. I have 3 types of Turkey hatching eggs, Midget White, Auburn and a Mixed heritage pen most likely to produce Narris but no guarantees. Fertility has been tested and is excellent in each pen...
