I was wondering what the earliest age I can put chicks outside full time is? My Turkens are coming up on 5 weeks now and are stinking and dusting up my house so bad I matter how often I clean! Not to mention they are getting too big for the brooder and getting real antsy when in it! I have no...
Thanks for the information! I'm glad your NNs did better but looks like I'll have to be extra watchful when they go out not that unwind be basically mother henning them the whole time probably anyways lol! I'm switching them to a larger brooder this weekend since it's getting a bit too warm on...
I have a question. For baby chicks, it says to decrease the temp 5 degrees per week in the brooder until it's equal to the outside temp. What if the outside temp is higher than the brooder temp? My babies are a week and a half old and I'm worried about how they will handle the high heat when...
She is a special lady for sure, I don't plan on ever getting rid of her

I'm just wondering if anyone else has any birds that hold their poo all night like my Franny does? I usually open the coop before I leave for work so it's dark still but now the sun is coming up earlier and when I open it up she flies out and has the biggest, dog sized poo every morning, it's...
I'm the proud new mom of sextuplets Turkens! I'm guessing their birthday was around St. Patrick's day so they will have Irish names but until I know them a little more and can tell the same colored ones apart better I'm not going to name them. Only one has a completely naked neck, I picked the...
Hello all! I had the best, most friendly and curious hen named Beverly who passed away a couple weeks ago and I am heartbroken. I didn't want to have any more chickens for a while after her but a rogue chicken showed up in a neighbors yard just a couple days after Beverly passed and who else to...
