    Flock needs to be rehomed

    Hi Debbie, What are your ameraucanas like? Color, disposition, health, and laying rate? I'm looking for some, and my birds get pretty good retirement packages =)

    I'd say in general my turkeys and chickens get along. The exceptions to the rule are the roosters and the toms - they will bloody each other out of pure stubbornness during the breeding season. As far as breeds go, I can't complement the royal palms enough for temperament. My old tom is such a...

    Welcome back! I'm not sure I'll ever stay caught up =)

    I had that happen, but the little guy opened it after a day! I assumed it was the bright lights after spending a month growing in a dark egg =)

    I started sand this year. So far, it keeps up much better than the shavings; the constant rain has created some muddy sand areas though. I think it probably needs raking more often than I do it.

    Do you want a broad-breasted specifically? I have 11 as of this weekend that are Narragansett, Royal Palm and Oregon Gray mixes. Heritage birds are pretty fun =)

    Hi Emily, I'm in Bloomington - and I have all kinds of fertile eggs of mutt types - Jersey giant, blue wheaton, white silkie, cuckoo marans, and naked neck. I'd be happy to give you a dozen or so if you are ever out this-a-way. -Carrie

    Hi Everyone! I hope everyone's had a great summer. I'm slowly wading through this board from July on so I'm behind =) Has anyone seen this - I had a baby turkey born this year that hatched a little late. It was such a sweet little guy, and we handled it a lot as a baby because its siblings...

    Yeah, the Bloomington store has lots of things, but not spark plugs for my tiller or oil filters for my mower >=' I'm surprised Lawrence county has these issues - some friends of mine in Springville are pretty happy with the zoning down there. I'm not a big fan of restrictive laws against people...

    Hi y'all, I haven't had much free time so I've been a little scarce (I come back and there are a hundred pages of backlog! o.o ). Updates: - I'm now certified to do blood testing for NPIP. I haven't been able to find anyone else who does this, so I don't have any antigen to do the test, nor do...

    Hey folks, In case no one has said, there are ALL KINDS of goodies at the Bloomington Rural King. I went in on Friday and got some birds. I got some cuckoo marans, freedom rangers, and guineas. There are also some heritage turkeys (chocolate, bourbon red), ducks (Indian runner, khaki...

    My geese have started laying, but I haven't had time to separate them into appropriate breeding pens yet. This means I have a grab bag of fertile mixed Sebastopol eggs. One of my goose hens is half-buff half Seb, one goose is full white Seb. One gander half Toulouse-half Seb, two ganders are...

    I'll take them if you are trying to get rid of them =) I used to hate them, because they are so weedy, but if you try making salad dressing with the ripe berries you might have a change of heart. I planted some from my parent's yard near the bird area and I can't wait for it to be old enough to...

    I'm so sorry. It's the hardest part of keeping critters - saying goodbye to the ones we love. No matter what the cause, I always end up beating myself up for it; but in some cases, there was just no reasonable precautions that could have been taken. Do any of your other birds go near the dog...

    Quote: Hah! My female turkey does the same thing to me. I always though they were curious what the hell was in our mouths. The wind here was also crazy. It flipped our trampoline flight pen - luckily no one was in there!
