Oops! I must still be subscribed to the last year's HAT Here is this year's.... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/newestpost/849366

You have already found it! One thing, though, it is a "Hatch a THON" not a hatch along. There's a huge difference. Mainly, we don't have a start time or a finish time. We aim to hatch our eggs around May 5th, but that is only a ballpark to shoot for. Secondly, you must have a good sense of...

Congratulations!!!

Yinepu, call in one of the neighbor kids, I really want to see a video of that bird!

SCG, you're my hero! No TV explains all the stuff you get done. We had no TV the whole first year we were in our new house. My DH worked out of town and the boys and I watched movies when we were bored, but without TV, we had other things to do. DH ended his job out of town and the frist...

They ARE cuteness! Congrats! I have to live vicariously through you guys, I have too much Heterakis (which carry Histomonas) in my area. I can control it for chickens, but the turkeys are too suseptable. No turkeys for Wisher.

Where is the "fingers in the ears and saying La La La La La La La La La" smiley? I need that one now.......

I have been tempted to buy a grown tom just to see if he would live, afterall, we have lots of wild turkeys, but I am afraid he would die and I would feel lousy. I think they are beautiful, but not when they are dead......

I really think it is something in this environment. They all did the exact same thing. They were fine up until about three months old then I found them dead. Most of them never even touched the ground before they died. No, I don't want to kill anymore turkeys, I'll stick with my chickens.

They're very nice! All mine died..........again. The two I bought at the feed store died, too. I'm done with turkeys.

Mine is not a Muscovy, I think she is a Swedish. Her bill is freckled (yellow with black freckles!) My sister said I should take a sharpie and give her a shiny black bill (I will not.)

Hey, can anyone tell me when I can expect an egg from my duck? She is 12 weeks old this weekend. I think she is a duck because she quacks, I read that only the girls actually quack and the boys make those funny whistle/squeal/squeeks. If that is not true, I may be waiting a long time for a...

Don't I know it.

My boys made me a water heater for Christmas last year (after I bought the tin, lamp kit, and printed the step by step instructions!) I love it! Even if you don't have electric in your pen, you could run an extension cord for one lightbulb. I use mine under a galvanized waterer. Our winters...

SCG! Let that duck be a chicken if she wants! It's not a lifestyle choice, she was born that way! Bless her heart.........

Oh, yeah! I laugh at the young Romeo's trying to first man-handle the biddies. The old hens won't put up with it and will put them in their places. Pecking, plucking huge beakfulls of feathers, and sometimes litterally whooping the cockerals into behaving. Then they will either try that with...

I would say if they are not ready, it won't be long. I think if there is no other older) rooster to interfere, they would be trying to get the job done.

I'm sorry, too, Renee. I wish (there I go again) that I was closer. I would foster them for you until you were ready to have them back. I know your heartbroken, but I'm sure your decision is what's best. Let me know if there is something I can do to help you.

Very nice!

Beautiful!
