I thought recently someone just lost a chicken and suspected turkey......? Either molpet or breeder?

I had a few chicks just 'disappear' this summer. My flock has never been aggressive toward broody hens & chicks, but the turkeys and our rooster are new. I believe the turkeys can't tell the difference between cannibalism and a tasty treat. They are bullies toward the little seramas. That's why I blame them.

Just curious, and wanted to follow up..... Your meat project was not affected by the power outs ... You did mention things were OK at the time,. Just wondering

Fantastic! Didn't lose any but it was close. If we didn't decide to come home early from MN would have been disastrous.
Been trying to thaw 2 a week to butcher.. just made first batch of bone broth Sunday. Made some egg drop soup with it and instantly thought *GRAVY*!. And this morning couldnt wait and made the most fantastic chicken gravy I've had.

A local young man asked me today about bantams. Does anyone have any or know of some one who does?

I have seramas - smallest bantam. Not ideal for our Chicago winters since they require supplemental heat in winter. (or just keep them as house-pets for a few months a year.) If he's interested in my "useless chickens" you can pass along my info. I actually have several serama chicks at the moment.
