Call Ducks or Bantams...Crazy Animals Around the Farm

[oldhenlikesdogs]

I've got about a dozen guineas.. Used to hate em' saying i'd never get any... Things change I guess. What type of turkeys do you own?

I got a Hodge podge of varieties. I like everyone to be different so I can tell them apart, I have blues, blacks, bourbons, mottled, palms, sweetgrass, and a few mutts. Currently 17 total, 4 toms and 13 hens. They drive me nuts but for some reason I keep them.

My Mom had a Gander who chased us up the driveway everyday after school ...Bugger...Lol
Plus a Billy Goat named Billy..Kept us on the Fences!..

Maybe your title @chickens really should say crazy animal keepers around the farm, I think this place is full of crazies. Everyone I talk to thinks I'm crazy for keeping critters.

I had to think fast...Could not think so fast...

Finally I'm home from work! -8F here, and going down. It's definitely winter!
We've got a farm pond, and lotsa Canada geese, who keep the mallards out. Call ducks are adorable, but there's no way they could free range here.
I too want a trio of geese! So far I've resisted, but those Pilgrims look great, at least in theory. Will they hold their own against the Canadas?

We had roosters that chased us daily, and an occasional escaped bull, those were dangerous.

Thats how I feel towards my guineas.. I love my turkeys and crave for more.. I've only got a trio of royal palms, A mutt, A rescued broad breasted bronze whom I have named Dorthy (She's cuddlier than my dogs) and a half wild half black spanish tom Bruce.

The guy I got my calls from has a decent sized pond and has a pair of white Chinese geese.. Says they chase off all of the wild geese that try and stay at his pond... Another reason i would like geese...

I'm going to be looking for royal palm turkey eggs soon. My neighbor wants me to hatch some.

Porters turkeys used to sell hatching eggs, but now I see they stopped for this coming year. I used to get all my hatching eggs from him. Hopefully he decides to go back to selling them in the future.
