Questions for all the turkey people.... 28 days like ducks, right? Higher humidity if possible? No medicated feed? And they need to be with chicks so the chicks can teach them the ropes???

Good Morning, Happy Chicken People!

I guess 2. Can you tell the males from the females on the whites, too?

Yes, you can actually still sex them but it is tricky. All you have to work with is different shades of yellow.

Thanks! Years ago I would have stitched her up, but I find unless we have a lot of flies they heal up better just keeping it clean and using an antibiotic. Plus I can't do the stitches anymore.

Right now Silver is right next to a broody that lost 8 of her nine chicks to a possum last weekend. Third incident in about a month. So silver looks over the top of her cage at CindyLou and her little Who baby (remember these are my sons chickens, so we have lots of weird names) and they both get to growling. Ah, sounds like home! I think I need a separate building just to keep chicks, poults, and injured birds. I'll have to start figuring how to get that done.

Oh my new girls, the Midgets, have started giving me eggs too! I'm almost caught up on orders, so I can start setting large batches and then offering up some for swapping again. Those new girls will have paid for themselves in no time. Now just to get them used to me. My returned old girls have actually begun to warm up to me. They will now take apple chunks from my hands. Yeah! I would never of thought that possible a month ago. They were just too wild when I got them.

There is nothing weird about Dr. Seuss names. Love it! Glad to hear everyone came out at least alive and doing somewhat well.
