I was able to find and contact two breeders in the Lower 48 that are willing to try shipping some eggs North.

These have been a real bugger to find, the eggs I did find for sale did not ship to Alaska. We have people who breed standards and melanistic mutants, but I’vent had any luck finding any other colors. The common variant will always have a special place in my heart, they are beautiful, but please...

I guess the bacteria themselves aren’t harmful, it’s the toxins they release?

I am pretty sure it is a particular group of bacteria that thrive on wet matter, I will check.

Threw some peas in, everybody loves it. Is there anymore I can do? Will the epsom salt even do anything?? They aren’t lethargic but it hasn’t even been an hour.

I have some epsom salt water, turkey and chicken drank, others reluctant

Disposed of a bag of moldy food in my compost pile, my spring babies got into it and ate the feed. The bag was left in wet and cold being peed on by dogs all winter, friend brought it over after they lost their ducks, but I told them it was useless after sitting like that for that amount of...

I wouldn’t doubt it, somehow they seem to dodge everything that flies their way; dogs, moose, people, geese, turkeys

Old thread but today I made another, grave mistake. I disposed of a bag of molded feed in my compost pile. My spring babies got into the pile, and ate the feed. I do hope they don’t die. There were only a few clumps of white mold but I’m sure the whole bag was contaminated.

Oh… that is unforgivingly hot! The car jump in Fairbanks gets up there but that kills me! It is up to 55*F here and it feels like heat stroke.

Yes, I have had people tell me to keep them at 75-80 degrees (Fahrenheit) at this age and to be very careful with cold and chilling, but it gets up into the 50s and they are fine (I do take them indoors for the night when it goes back under 40 to be safe, but other than that they are outside all...

Glad we are past those temps here. We had grass growing through the ice a couple months ago to the pleasure of my birds. Wait Celsius or Fahrenheit? We still haven’t switched to metric yet.

The Keet has been well and was only hungry, he has been right back to running about and is probably telling his friends about his excersion.

I live in a warmer part of Alaska currently, it is May and the temps only drop to 30 degrees at night. I’ve read that guinefowl keets should be kept at 80 degrees at 4 weeks old, but have allowed many 3 week olds to go outdoors on hot spring days (45 degree weather), with no ill results. The...

Where do you order yours from?

Is one toxic? I know RB 14 grows faster, and from root cuttings, and TC grows a bit slower but reseeds itself. Which do I grow for my poultry? I’m in zone 4 currently, but can start in doors, use hot beds, low tunnels, or a greenhouse if need be.

Still eats and drinks a ton, I will weigh him again today.

Well, crooked poult is still kicking. Saw improvement, and then he crashed again.

I was leaning towards culling but I thought it was unusual for him to still be alive, so I figured if he could help himself partly, I could do the rest.

He has improved greatly, I gave him some peanut butter/ sav-a-chic water and then a mash with turkey starter. His neck is still crooked, but he can now walk forwards and sleeps by the other birds.
