    Turkeys beat up on my chickens

    Hi I was just reading your thread and wondered if you have your birds free ranging? I wanted to get turkeys to help scare the hawks off around here.

    Hi I'm new to hatching duck eggs and was wondering what the best way to store duck eggs before incubation is. I only have 1 pair with good eggs so I would prefer to get as many eggs from them as I can before I start incubation. How long can I gather eggs and store before fertility rates drop...
