I know it's not nice but, I would use turkey for the only thing she is good for. I would put her outside nest and all where you need predator protection. She is so rabid I truly think she could chase anything away.

You know I am seriously worried about the chicks with her(if she doesn't kill them off) how will you get them away from her? You don't want to have her train them to be assassins.

You must have missed the post where the turkey made it clear that she did not want the chicks...

SCG took them away (both still healthy) and put them in a brooder...then went out and got her Olansk Dwarf (I think that is what it was) that mothers anything. .... and the hen immediately took the chicks.

So chicks are now with a hen that loves them.

Yup all's well with Elsa and the babies. I bought a banty mix once at a TSC meet for 50 cents. She was one of my favorites until a fox ate her one day while I was outside with them. She was a grade A cyclical broody and a great mom. She never once raised chicks, though. She was my prime raiser of ducklings and turkeys. It was fun to watch her try to squish week old ducklings under her (we do the giant meat pekins).

Thank you for answering my question chicka.

deb, that's beautiful. You keep improving with each piece you do.

What's wrong with learning things off of youtube? It sure beats remaining ignorant.

Your welcome clue.

Deb I found a lady that showed a method of making short's so easy that a 7 year old could do it. I did have to watch it a few times and pause it and go look and then got it done. But my dyslexia makes me do things backwards. So I am a bit challenged in that area. But the mechanics of it makes it a bit easier for me now.

Beer and Scg my broody BO were from my first chickens I ever bought and they were from a Hatchery and they were great moms. But none of my other hens ever did go broody from that bunch.

I would like to ask for your thoughts and prayers for my DD#1 she is in ICU and it looks like her kidneys and liver are nearly shot. They were talking about putting her on dialysis last night. She also has a broken hand and wrist and other injuries from her husband. The cops took her to the hospital yesterday at first they put her in the psych ward then had to transfer her into ICU.

Thanks so much everyone.
The hospital baker acted her last night. Probably for the best.
