Just wondering if some, like the Broad Breasted types are less apt to be able to fly? My property is fenced in with 4' field fencing, and we have a lot of wild turkeys that come right up to the fence. Are the bigger breeds less likely to fly over the fence? I assume, when they are younger and...

What's up with the posting tonight? Can't get the format to post that gives the B I U or emoticoms? Can't post pics either?? Took me almost 2 HOURS to upload 2 pictures! I was going to purchase a Golden Feather today...glad I saved my money. What is up?

I just got another one of those pop-up surveys, this is like the fourth one. Each time they pop up, when I move the mouse over to click on it, the "yes" or "no thanks" buttons drop out of sight. I tried to drag it up, nope. I tried to scroll it up, nope. Then after about 10 seconds, they...

I would like to raise a few (yeh right ) turkeys for meat and eggs, mainly to hatch or sell. So, a few questions: 1) Which breed seems to be the most disease resistent? 2) Which breed gets to a mid size, say 20-25lbs. the quickest; best rate of gain? 3) Which breed is the easiest going as...

I am looking for some eggs from Splash Copper Marans. Can also be just Splash, but would prefer them showing copper. Pics of the adults is a must, as I need assurance of CLEAN combs (NO sprigs or carnations!), and need HEAVY shank/toe feathering. The bigger and chunkier the type, the better too...

Well that tears it! After my last hatch disaster, I'm going to buy either a Sportsman or a Dickey's incubator. Does anyone have any experience with the Dickey's? Has anyone ever used both brands, and if so, which did you prefer? Pros and cons of both models appreciated greatly!! Ideally, I...

TRAFFIC CAMERA My husband was driving when he saw the flash of a traffic camera. He figured that his picture had been taken for exceeding the limit even though he knew that he was not speeding. Just to be sure, he went around the block and passed the same spot, Driving even more slowly, but...

I may need some help here. I went out to check on the chooks around noon, and noticed one of the 5 month old BC Marans pullets standing off by herself, fluffed up. It was a fairly warm day, 50s, but cloudy and damp. Got her in the coop to inspect her, thought maybe crop was looking a bit larger...

For all of you deer hunters, or those that love deer hunters. I thought you might get a good laugh out of this one! I laughed till I hurt!! > Deer Roper... > > > Roping A Deer------- ( Names have been removed to protect the Stupid! ) > Actual letter from someone who farms and writes well...

What is up with the political ads now on the home page?? Seems a tad hypicritical that we can't get into political conversations, but now are having politics shoved down our throats with banner ads? Frankly, I find it digusting, especially seeing who the ad is bashing! Being from Missouri, and...

If you've ever worked for a boss who reacts before getting the facts and thinking things through, you will love this! Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the...

My coop/run is almost done! My chooks will be so happy, as will I. The top of the run is fenced in and has support beams extending from the coop to the side top rails. This looked like a perfect place for me to hang some flower baskets! Going one step further, I thought about a vining type of...

Anyone have any experiences with one of these incubators? How did it work? Likes, dislikes? Thank you.

Has anyone here ever used one of these? Opinions needed, please! You can PM me if you'd rather. Thank you. http://www.brinsea.com/prod-Ova_Easy_190_Advance_Cabinet_Incubator-226.aspx

Woke up at 7am this morning to find, one peeping and one small pip!! Today is day 21, so they are right on schedule. The temperatures outside last night dropped dramatically from what they have been, and the humidity had dropped in the bator. Building the humidity back up now, it's up to 66% so...

Well, official lockdown was at 6pm central time! I'm so excited!!! I feel like I'm back to square one, with my nose pressed up against the bator window! At least this time (hopefully) I won't have long to wait. First hatch for me, Black Copper Marans, 12 eggs. Please keep your fingers and...

Last night befoe I went to bed, I hear a few of my cats outside making a ruccus. Turned on the porch light, thinking it was the local Tom cat after my girls, but to my surprise, it was two armadillos running around the yard! They looked young, and like they were playing. When they would run near...

This is my first time hatching, and today was my first time candling. Of course, it would have to be on hard to see through eggs of the BCM! Out of 12 eggs, I think, I see 8 of them forming, and the other 4 I will call "iffy" at this point. When would be a good time to candle next?? I was...

Yahoooo!! Called the Post Office as soon as it opened, and my eggs had arrived! Sprinted up there and back home. Bought 10 eggs (BCMs) and got 12, ALL IN PERFECT CONDITION!! They are now resting, and I am now HYPER-VENTILATING! Everything I've been reading for the last three weeks just...

Hi all, I am about to venture into my first time incubating. Bought a Little Giant, with fan and turner (yes, I know, but the price was great!), and I've had it running for a day now, and it was holding pretty steady at 99.5. Last night we had a huge storm here in MO., and the outside temps...
