    mystery Holderead duckling

    Our order was 8 Appleyards, 4 Welsh Harlequins, 2 Australian Spotted bantams, 6 Hookbills. We lost two that we think were hookbills. These are pictures showing the 2 bantams and the mystery duckling. He is bigger than them, but has similar markings. We only count seven appleyards, but there...

    Strangest and Silliest Chicken Names?

    We had a frizzle cochin bantam rooster named Puff Daddy. He died protecting his ladies from a fox . Now we have Sarg, the barnyard special, and Don King, the WC Polish roo. My young boys both chose WC Polish chicks when we first got chickens. They named one Chihuahua and the other Ninja Baby...

    Featherless chickens

    Their skin looks so inflamed. Make darn sure you don't have lice or mites, look around the vent carefully. I wish I had more advice.

    URGENT-turkey eggs due tomorrow & problem

    My BR turkey hen is on eggs that are due tomorrow. I checked her this morning and she has removed one from the batch. In the process she got yolk/blood on the others. I know that can be bad news for the remaining eggs, but do I try to clean them off this close to hatch or would that hurt the...

    If birds are scared out of their wits, would they not lay?

    I have 20 hens that are not laying. I take that back, my bantam cochin (!!!) and a rock are the only ones. There are several possible reasons for this, but I have a question. I moved them into a tractor a couple weeks ago, right when they quit laying. Could one of the reasons be that a...

    Going broody question.

    This is my first broody season with turkeys, but I just put 8 eggs in a nest and my hen that has been laying the longest went broody the next day. Probably just beginner's luck, but that what happened for me. BTW, love your ending sentence on your posts!

    need opinions

    I have a first-time nesting BR hen that this first-time turkey owner has successfully moved to a new safe, private nest. She accepted it, whew. Before I moved her a couple eggs got broken because other hens were shoving her off the nest. Now she is on 9 eggs-less than I would like. One of...

    Tacky Coop and Run Contest 2011: Winners Announced!

    These are my coops. They are both constructed of used garage doors. The insulation in the doors keeps the birds toasty warm! The larger one is the chicken coop and the smaller in the back is the turkey's. We call that one "The Outhouse". They were made by my sweet DH, who works for a...

    found the fox's den...now what?! Hunters, help!

    We did try to live-trap him this summer. Used fox urine, chicken bones/ meat, cat food, nothing worked. We did catch five racoons, however. I don't know how in the world to get a fox into a live-trap. So...we bought the gun.

    found the fox's den...now what?! Hunters, help!

    A fox has killed four of my birds over the last year. Now, with snow on the ground my husband and I noticed just how much attention the birds are getting from the footprints around the coop. We followed the tracks and they led to an abandoned shed not 100 yards from the coop!!! Feel like such...
