Does anyone on here keep their adult chickens and turkeys together?

Or is that a big no no??

you got answers to this, but check if your area has blackhead. Ours dosent, but i check heads EVERY DAY for any signs anyway. Our turkey hens pick on the chickens, not the oms.

I have a ton of chicks I need to get out of my basement. To make room for the ones I am keeping and to help lighten my load a little bit. So I will be offering up chicks but they are older than a week old they are 2 weeks to 2 months old. They are jumping out of the brooders and running around my basement. They are driving me mad. Tired of cleaning up chicken poo everywhere. Too cold at night still for them to go outside. I am over loaded right now with chicks.

you can send me my 2 chick swaps if you are drowing in chicks!

So, I have been sick for 2 weeks, adn gone for one of them. Look what happened while my back was turned!


What happens when you don't watch your silkies closely...

Spring at my house



her turkey eggs didn't make it, so she has chicks under her now, and a few eggs she stole that may hatch today and tomorrow.




Floppy comb, now with pips! She will only eat if you hold fodder up to her and she tries to attack it, we have had to hand feed her and Liva Drusa ( above) for 30 days now! They were sharing eggs until I moved LD last night with her chicks.




Why I am not currently trading turkey eggs ( pumpkins has 12 eggs and a few chicken she will not let me take) Stuffing is currently a 9-5 broodie lovingly sitting on some old Mango seeds not sitting at night but not laying. She decided she was going to get up before I got her picture, ill post some later .

And Behind door #3!




Ester, who only started laying this month, little Icelandic. She gets kicked off her eggs once a day by Catalina, who likes to lay where people will sit on her eggs. She currently has some favorell and FCBM eggs I got in the WYGS march.


And now onto the silkie cave, where if one hen sees someone sitting, you have BROODIES GONE WILD!!!




Pandcake the flattest chicken I ever saw, who was willing to be moved to another spot to have her own nest. SMART pancake.




These 3... not so willing ( we will try to move one out tomorrow at least!) Sparkles didn't even START laying, she just saw the excitement and decided it was for her. They have been stealing every egg layed for a week or 2 before I caught them, so this hatch is gonna be a mess!

I'm going to try y super stealth technique to move sparkles onto my next egg shipment assuming it gets here soon.

And! In the abandoned nesting boxes,





Looks like a lot of eggs right? clearly she needs help! Smokey stepped in because really, who can see eggs and NOT sit on them?





( I use some sand in this coop, and they get dreads when they sandbath, eat fodder, then sleep under the shelf. If she weren't broody I'd give her a bath)

That gives me as of this morning, not counting Stuffing, NINE broodies. Moral of the story, DON'T LET SILKIES OR TURKEYS SEE EGGS!

That is a lot of broodyness going on there! LOL Are you going to let them all sit?

They knew I was gone! And that mario was weak! They all are ON eggs, except sparkles that's on 2 chickens. But you cant break sparkles, she is the ultimate broody. The big question is will sparkles just steal pancakes chicks when they hatch and abandon her nonexistant eggs ( she has done this before!)

Hey guys, I haven't been here too much the last few months, but I just noticed that I am not on the swap spreadsheet anymore. I filled out the form that was made a couple months back, and had a few swaps in before that. Was there a new sheet made, or what?


Never mind, I found me. LOL
Thanks!

Just wanted to slide in and wish Everyone a Happy Easter (early yes). We put lights in the barns today, watched Passion of the Christ, cleaned, and moved chicks outside. Been an overall great day.
We have one of my daughters friends over, she has never been to a Easter Sunday Catholic Mass. lol Should be interesting to see how she likes it.
Talk to you guys tomorrow. Nighty Nighty
