INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

Quote: I thought of you on Friday as we processed 2 of our meat turkeys. Still have 2 more meat turkeys that need to grow larger but at least 2 are done. Now I just have to decide how much of that meat I want to grind and how much I want to roast.

For grinding, if I grind just the white meat as it is the easiest to debone, will it be good for burgers? Or will I need to mix it with a meat containing more fat?

[@=/u/207045/racinchickins]@racinchickins[/@] are you processing again anytime soon?

Thinking third weekend in September

You will definitely want to mix the meat.

You have an EE that went broody and is raising her own??? Wow didn't know EE's went broody let alone raised the chicks, that's awesome. Wish I had one or 2 or 3 lol that would do that. I have the worst luck at hatching egg and EE's are the worst. I had 2 dz in the bator this last time and MOST of them were EEggs, I got 2 EE's, which really made me say Fudge sticks!! a few times ( yes that's really what I said lol ) and most all the BYM's hatched giving me a total live count of 6. I am not impressed with myself at all.
Would it be too much to ask of you to post a pic of your black? I would just love to see her.

This is my ELLEN: she is a mix of BCM rooster and EE momma, i guess that's where she gets her black coloring from.

Quote: ok cool then its not a weird thing that I need to watch real close. that works. They have swapped chicks again today... lol

Quote: Thats too funny...

would have loved to seen it.

Goodness, I am about burnt out dealing with chicken sickness. I feel like never a day goes by where everyone is fine! Currently I am dealing with bumblefoot in my rooster...which he was running a fever. Wookie, my crooked beak (from injury) who's beak is growing out and now everything is shifting hopefully back in place. Which is causing him to have some drainage....I am assuming is from his sinuses. This stinkin bout of coccidiosis and necrotic enteritis is going to be the death of ME I swear it! Just when I think we are passed it, Someone shows signs again. And I am doing EVERYTHING in my power to keep things dry and sanitized. Also tube feeding and antibiotics for all the birds that are showing symptoms. I am exhausted, and feel like an awful chicken mom. But I am trying!

Okay that is enough of my venting! Figured I better get it out before the weekend is over! LOL

Anywhooooo! Happy Sunday! Off to round up all the birds meds. And maybe mix up a Mimosa for myself!

Sorry you are going through that, I went through it not very long ago, but I lost them all even with meds and a vet working with me on it also. Hope you have better results.

Thanks for post these pic's I have KING TRITON's Twin and because she didn't look like she had any butt, I was wondering if she really was a Cochin?
Beautiful birds, BEETHOVEN is really cool too.

It's so frustrating to find one thing after another going on. Have the mimosa!!

My turkey cock Giblets needs a girlfriend. His parents were a heritage bronze hen and a wild cock. I'm looking for a hen that's not a BB to be a companion for him; his mate went off in the woods to nest this spring and that was the last of her. If anyone has any leads, please

PM me.

Oh how happy I am! I came home to a just hatched Partridge Silkie chick!! I am going to have to look at my breeding chart again because I didn't think a Black roo over a Partridge hen would produce partridge! Not often but here's to hoping it's a Boy!!

Pics to follow after its out of the bator!

This is a test hatch as I am building a incubator and providing eggs to a woman who wants Silkies but also be a part of the hatching experience. I've hatched 1 blue and 1 partridge of the 2 eggs I set. Sweet!
