How did Gloria get? I just had the same thing happen. My Stella just died this morning. My heart is broken and I feel guilty. I did feed her separately and wormed her when I stated feeling the prominent breastbone. She was my favorite hen ever. She had no resp issues, so I thought she may...
I have 5 total and I think at least 3 are male. 2 look just like the picture and one of the ones crowing looks just like the female pic with no muff! Do all the males have to have a muff? These supposedly came from a reputable dealer.
I really wish I had seen this before I bought gamebird feed for my 4 turkeys thinking I was helping them out!! they had been on the same layer feed as my chickens and I felt guilty thinking I was not treating them right!! I go on vacation for 3 days and come home to what looks like pox!!! I...
My oldest turkey hen choked when I fed her gamebird crumbles. So I decided to give this to my worms and give her chicken layer feed pellets.. this worked out well until my local store started carrying gamebird pellets instead of crumbles. I thought I was doing them a favor by switching. Im...
I have a nice barn with a 2x4 roost for my 4 turkeys to roost and 3 of them go on top of the barn and 1 goes to the corner of the fence on the ground. He is perfectly healthy but doesn't get along with the girls so he goes to his corner at night! I hope that's ok. He is protected well by a...
Im new at turkeys too but it seems that everybody gets a little runny in the very hot weather. Whenever it happens to my hens (chicken and turkeys) I start with a 24 hour Epsom salt water. Stress, including hot weather, brings on the runs too.. Do you think so, Kathy?
so exactly how did you know that was it? looking inside her mouth? I was scrolling through because I have a turkey who sneezes an coughs especially after eating. I noticed it about a month or two ago and thought it was feed related and changed the feed to pellets, but she still does it. any...
My 3 1/2 month old has nothing yet, but he fluffs out every time I go in the pen and my other two 3 month olds never do. Is this a sign he is a male? I question this because his mom fluffed out all the time before she hatched eggs. This one is aggressive to the dog but never to the other...
put a Great Pyrenees in the pen. NO more predators. Period. My turkeys, chickens, cats and goats all live a peaceful life. thanks to my beautiful boy. I was loosing more chickens that I was keeping before I got him. Not one lost since then.
I absolutely agree. The cholesterol and fats have gotten such a bad rap in the last 10 years. Pharm companies has brain washed us and scared us to the point of trashing our yolks for whites only!!!! WHAT???? Throw away your yolks??? Our very best food is going down the drain along with your...
A little Giant? I have the digital kind that is a still air.. I had a little giant that I returned because it was a forced air... I think it dried out my eggs... I know you have to keep moisture up it blows air right down and that seems unnatural..maybe my inexperience didnt help but I returned...
I set 24 eggs of several varieties and some mutt chicks on the 24th. I just hatched one of four of my turkey eggs and got this beauty! loving her!! she is such a show off. I hope she is a she.
