*-*-*FLOCKTALK is BORN*-*-* ~~Input and Feedback requested~~ *UPDATE*

[chickenwhisperer123]

I posted this morning about how I wanted to start a Q&A page like Askpeeps had way back when. It is still in early stages of developement but I am hoping it will grow...

I would like to have a couple people I can rely on in case I am not sure about something (and they will be credited accordingly.)

This thread will be updated as FlockTalk begins to grow.

If you have a question that you would like to be answered on FlockTalk Q&A, please PM me, and I will be happy to answer it . Other Questions and comments about FlockTalk can be PM'ed or posted here.

Oh yeah, and you can view it at :

Thanks in advance to everyone on the forum!!

Am I all alone?

Nope I see you peeping out from under that chair, LOL. I think it's a wonderful idea.

Sounds like a great idea. I don't have any questions at the moment though. Hmmm... Uhhhh.... How about:

I just introduced 7 pullets & a 1 roo to my existing flock of 12 - 1 yr old hens. They have always had neighboring coops with the runs next to each other. They seem to be establishing a pecking order, especially at night. I installed a new "night" roost so the new ones could go somewhere separate but in the same coop. Anything else I could do to alleviate the bickering?

Thanks!

Edited for spelling..

Great question!!

Could you PM it to me next time?

It is my very first question..

 

[happyhensny]

Sure can do!

I cant decide what day of the week I should post the answers to the weeks questions...

How about Wednesdays? It'll give us something to look forward to. Here is my question:

I have a mixed flock. Ducks, chickens, and 1 gosling. I also have a small flock of turkey poults (five of them). Currently the turkeys are seperate from the rest, but I really need to get them out of the brooder. Can they go in the coop with the others, or do I need to make them a seperate "turkey pad"? Also, the others free range all day, if the turkeys go with them will they run away?

 

[chickenwhisperer123]

Can you guys PM me with questions from now on?

Another great question...

I have been working on the site, but am afraid to put any pics on it because I dont want to infringe on anyones copyrights.

Are there any really chicken-smart people out there that would like to help out with FlockTalk?

It is still a work in progress, but looks alot better than it did this morning!!
