I am interested in buying a Bourbon Red Turkey hen. I raised my tom from a chick, but unfortunately, the other chick was a tom as well. So now I would like to find him a potential mate. She would be a free range pet. All the hatcheries state that Bourbon Red chicks are straight run, so I...

I'm glad I finally got the Colonels picture posted. He's such a beautiful good boy! Thank you all for your replies!

I finally got it!

I can't figure out how to add the picture :-(

This is my “throw away” rooster. I discovered him on the road in front of my house. Someone had tossed him out of their vehicle. I saw no movement and thought that he was dead. But I couldn’t just leave him there, so I went out to examine him. To my surprise, he was weak, but he was alive. I...

My Bourbon Red Tom Turkey is about a year old now. When I bought him as a baby, it was with another chick. But they both grew up to be toms and I made a choice. I traded the other tom for a turkey hen, "Jenny-O". "Gentleman Jack" really is a gentleman. He is friendly and likes to show off how...

I have 9 Mallard ducklings that I am raising with my Call Ducks & ducklings. Actually at this point the Call Ducks are being kind of honery with the Mallards, but mostly just a little pecking order type bullying. But I am concerned that when the Mallards get bigger that the tables will turn and...

I don't see any posts on here, so I am afraid I already know the answer. My front yard is becoming over run with ticks. I have chickens in my very back yard where the geese, ducks, chickens free range...and to the best of my knowledge...no ticks. But in the front yard, we are all becoming...

OMG!!! How terrible! I am so sorry for your losses! That's so sad. The only thing I can think of is that my chickens and geese are not in any type of "run". We have a small pasture (just under 1/4 acre) that they are loose in each day. The chickens simply move away from where the geese are...

wasn't sure...may give the new ones a day or two to get their land legs. The older gosling is SOOOOO much larger than them now. And tiny bit spoiled perhaps Then I will test the grounds. What do you think?

OH MY GOODNESS!!! After some kind thoughts and replies to my various posts concerning the lack of hatching goslings, I went outside to check on her once again... There is a total of three goslings! Thank you everyone who replied for listening to this old hen!

I put eggs from my Chinese Geese in the incubator. Only two were able to attempt to hatch, but after 24 hours I helped them out the rest of the way. One was malformed and did not survive more than a couple hours, but the other one is beautiful and just perfect. My question is now that she is...

Very good. Thank you for your reply. I will defintely be more careful about that in the future.

Sorry if I ended abruptly...hubby came home for lunch. :-) Thanks again for the quick reply and some encouragement. I am hoping that all these weeks of her dedicating herself to those eggs pays off. I will wait for another week or so. Then try to figure out where to go from there if the eggs...

Thank you for such a quick reply. Today is actually the 35th day. I added a day, silly I know, because I figured just in case anyone didn't read this post until tomorrow. "Nicki" had kind of here and there sat on the nest for about 1 1/2 weeks prior to April 11th. Then she started getting...

I need advice. Please help if you can. I tried putting 5 Chinese Goose eggs in the incubator, but only two hatched, and only one of those two survived. And I have to stop and say I am in love with the little darling! She's just beautiful and makes us all smile. I raised the parents since they...

Congrats on the new goslings! I have a question in regards to mine. I tried putting 5 eggs in the incubator, but only two hatched, and only one of those two survived. And I have to stop and say I am in love with the little darling! But, my female Chinese goose has been dedicatedly sitting on a...
