My momma turkey snuck some chicken eggs and hatched them. Two so far, but the others are less developed and won’t hatch yet. They’re Copper Maran X Amerucauna chicks so they’re extra fluffy, fluffy cheeks and feathered feet. 🥰😍 My question is what can I feed them? I don’t have any way to get...

I had a momma turkey go broody and hatch out some chicken chicks(2 amerucauna X copper Marans ) and I have no chick feed on hand and no way to get any soon. All I have is scratch and lay pellets. I gave the chicks some scrambled eggs but what can I give them that can supplement chick feed?

I was given by a friend a MagicFly AutoEgg Incubator and a little humility and temp thingy. Now I don’t know how to read the Metric system, I’m in the US and we use the ole imperial system. So any help? I’ve been running it for a few days with out eggs and can’t seem to get the turner to work...

DO NOT SCROLL FURTHER IF YOUR SENSITIVE DEAD ANIMAL PICTURED I went out this morning and found my CM rooster, Razor, dead, with no visible wounds or missing feathers. I suspect that the turkey Tom killed him, as there is turkey feathers everywhere and the goats last night let him out when they...

A few weeks ago I noticed my rescue rio grande turkey hen going broody. She was puffing up and hissing at the other birds when they got near her nest. She had a few turkey eggs, some chicken eggs, and to my great surprise a few fertilized guinea eggs(we have a female guinea but no male)🤨I did...

Today I just wanna share the start of our incubation this year! Now we have to wait 21 days and we’ll have our hands full! so excited 😆

I was chicken- watching for my neighbors when they went on vacation recently. They have a really pretty flock. They told me I could do whatever I wanted with the eggs I collected. Of course I wanna hatch them 😁😂 But I would like to narrow down what breeds they are first. I know there’s a Silkie...

I have a goat and chicken farm with 50+ goats and a few LGDs and 1 barn cat, Wolfie. One day he came home for feed time with a large scrape down the side of his face. I put some iodine and antibacterial ointment on it and that was it. Now it’s 2 days later and my adult Great Pyr picks the cat up...

So my and my bestie had an idea.. We have an old playhouse on our property and we were thinking about turning it into a 2 story coop. It’s currently being used to store bikes and my cat brings squirrels into the top to eat... lol.. Just wandering if anyone had any tips or ideas to make it...

So I went outside the other day to feed the chickens, and saw my Copper Maran rooster trying to breed one of my guinea hens. I pushed him off and she looked fine but I just thought it was hilarious. My rooster has lost some hens recently(to predators) so I guess he’s getting desperate :lau this...

My 6yo blue Heeler names Trixie came to the house a few weeks ago with a large lump on her back, next to her stub of a tail. I thought it was just a hotspot that got irritated so I put hotspot medicine on it. Well I guess she got in a scrap with something and opened it up because now it’s...

Last night I lost 2 of my youngest hens to something. I’m not really sure what it was, but we have had a lot of coyotes, owls and hawks and basically a lot of pests around lately. We also saw a coyote hanging around last night. The poor hens, Bee and Hanna, were pulled halfway through the fence...

Mainly im just curious to see what people think about this topic. I know it’s a controversial topic but to me I think feathered feet are adorable and helpful when it gets cold. I’m also wondering if they actually have a reason or if they are just a random mutation and if they aren’t I’m looking...

I have a male turkey named Reggie, and today I noticed something on his snood. We were taking selfies (don’t judge, I love my turkey) and I saw it. It’s like scabs on his snood. What is it?

Hi! I guess I’m gonna introduce myself!? Well, I have a relatively small flock with 14 chickens(counting 1rooster),2 male and female guineas, 2 (a male and a female) turkeys, and I used to have two peafowl(a male and female) but they both sadly passed. We also breed Show boer goats for FFA/4H...

I have 4 chicks about 4 months old each, they were a broody hatch, and thanks to this website I found out that (hopefully) they are all pullets. I just want to know if it would be too early to let them out . They are in a fenced in area in a chain link dog kennel, and inside the area are goats...

I had 2 hens go broody this summer and they produced 4 chicks. The chicks are about 4months old, one is a little younger. All were bred by a Copper Marans rooster. Some (2i think) had hens with rose and peas combs as their blood mom. I am just confused bc of the smaller combs how to tell if they...
