    Review by 'Paradisewife' in article '14 Chicken Myths You Need to Let Go Of'

    Great list! Covers a lot of issues. #15 could be one I hear most often, "Hens can't lay eggs without a rooster".😁

    Is it normal for Turkens to be this large at 4 weeks?

    Hopefully my enthusiasm about my turkens doesn't annoy anyone: Because I have realized that the Turken is my spirit animal. :love🤣 (my initials are also NN) So Cocoa is our 'training turken' - She is very tolerant of our on-the-job efforts. (Picking up a turken is an skill I haven't perfected...

    Is it normal for Turkens to be this large at 4 weeks?

    @SuspiciousChick Hey, your boys are gorgeous! My girls are awesome - and they still look the same. They still have the same little banty-roo in with them: his names have been reduced to three (see post #57 this thread): Kids Cutlet aka Contra & Would You GET OFF OF HER. A updated Pic of Kid &...

    Is it normal for Turkens to be this large at 4 weeks?

    I found this on chickensandmore.com . I don't remember where, but I found several other mentions similar to this one. I have 4 and I love them, but they are a bit intolerant of the other ladies.

    Quiz: What Kind of Winter Chicken Keeper Are You?

    I ended up mostly A's, some B's, and some NA's. The not applicable involve power. We do not have power in the chicken coop, so I was forced to choose B in #2. Regarding #1, I do both A & B. #6: @rosemarythyme I have a flock of 13 bantam hens and get a minimum - so far - of 4 eggs daily, and 6...

    What Breed

    I have 2 BSLs, one has some gold on the neck, and the other has LOTS of the gold feathering around the neck and down the breast. The darker one lays brown, the other lays speckled! 9 months old, sweet girls. Although I don't think we'll get any more black anything - every one of our black...

    I have 2 Olive egger - 3 yrs apart - both from MPC. Autumn lays a blueish-tinted green, and the bantam lays almost a sea-foam green. Sweet babies!

    Entry #2 Old English Game Bantams "GameBoy" & his best girl "Tiny Dancer" I think these kids were only about 10 wks old, (8 mos now) but are still best buds. (Eating sour cream off the wall.) I left the Faverolles fluff-butt in the photo for scale.

    Actually, it's almost daily! But I don't think there's been a successful mating. He uses her head as a mounting block, backs up and slides off before any part of him can make it anywhere under her tail at all:lau. His feathered feet are not his friends. Comedy daily....

    Is it normal for Turkens to be this large at 4 weeks?

    I absolutely LOVE my Turkens!! I will always have them now. But I will look for a heritage line that isn't crossed with anything. They do well with a perch that is 2" to 4" off the ground (or inside a smaller coop). We started with about 6" up in the coop when they were under about 12 weeks...

    Cochins - (bantams) Where's the boy? Is there one?

    Oh, @TheChickenGirl16 , I believe KateWalker is actually the layer. Whomever, this was the first egg! Thought it was a rock, but too lightweight 🙃

    Cochins - (bantams) Where's the boy? Is there one?

    Thanks for your expertise. I only got a couple of glimpses at the banded chick, and I've always thought it was mis-identified. They were shipped to El Paso TX in May with a heat pack, and missed the DAILY truck to my town by an hour. They spent 23 hours at a USPS hub. Dehydration, heat...
