Hello all. I have read to store turkey eggs at 55 to 65 degrees before incubation. I keep them on my back porch and it dipped down to 38 the last 2 nights they were setting. Will they be ok to incubate or should I wait to collect more? This will be my first turkey hatch. Thanks for any input. I...
Beaker never came home . Very sad but the shock is wearing off abit. I am happy your neighbor came to set things straight. It is hard to deal with difficult people. Hopefully her talking to you and the actions she takes will make your life alittle less stressfull.
Thank you for your input. I do have every concern you mentioned and I also told her that. I did make it perfectly clear if it ever happens again I wil be the end. I will protect my kids and animal no matter what. I am just glad I can handle this situation the way I have. It is very hard to see...
Thank you, such kind words
I will not accept money. That wont help me and I refuse to let someone write a check to make them selves feel beter. I mean that in a sincer way not a smart butt way. I just told her all I want from her is to NEVER let it happen again. Things will happen in life to...
Sounds terrible. I am sorry you have to deal with them. That must be so tough. I am lucky they are nice. I just do not want to let it cause problems between us.
Yes, my neighbor is nice. She called again tonight to see how the kids were. It was her husband who left the dogs out because they didnt come when he called and he had to be somewhere. I feel bad because they fought and she is so sad, she is an animal lover. Has goats and horses and also has...
The really rough part is that Beaker is missing. She was a golden Lace Polish chick that we had at 1 day old and we never expected her to make it but she was amazing and friendly to. She is 7 months old and hops up on our shoulder everytime we go to see her. I hope she shows up. Thanks for the...
They are sorry and want to pay to replace the chickens but money doesnt make it any better. The time invested in raising them is what takes the most. Plus how upset the kids are. It is a dangerous dog and I made it perfectly clear that I do not want to see it ever again. I also made it clear...

My neighbors dogs showed up in my yard again caused a fight. I called my 3 dogs off only to find that they killed my chickens 12 missing and atleast 5 dead. Please lord help me not freak out and give me the strength to be calm. My kids...
Thanks for the info. I really appriciate it. They are looking even more different by the day. The now they have stripes on the tail feathers that are coming in and the have a solid orange beak and what looks to me to be a double comb. The 8 in question all had a yellow patch on the head when I...
I ordered Black Jersey Giant day old chicks from a hatchery and now that they are 2 weeks old 8 of them have stripes on their wings just like Barred Rock chicks get at this age I know because I have raise Barred Rocks before. Seeing as this is my first batch of Jersy Giants I thought I would ask...
