Oh my gosh that is just too darn cute! Maybe we'll skip chickens and just do turkeys.Everyone needs at least one Turkey in there life! (Though I may be a bit bias as I'm writing this with a poult on my shoulder). You could use them for broodies! Here's a picture from a older thread of a Hen that hatched out poults and Goslings:
. Resistance is futile to such fluffy butts.
What a picture! I love turkey but to eat and i don't eat my pets so that would be a bad combo for us. I know my mothers friend had a turkey(a tom) he adored my mother!Everyone needs at least one Turkey in there life! (Though I may be a bit bias as I'm writing this with a poult on my shoulder).

Come to the Turkey side! They're so much fun! But their like potato chips you just can't stop at oneYou are making me want a turkey!!!! lmao We just added 3 9 week old mallards that I found on CL......**** that site I tell ya! So that brings our flock to 13 ducks and 2 geese....oh yeah and 1 of those 13 ducks is sitting on a huge nestand I will probably end up keeping a couple of them {{{sigh}}} ducks are addicting lmao
LOL.. your funny, hey if you enjoy it why not, right? I have had the air let out of balloon.. just not having much fun here lately... It's not the birds it's just the loses that come with trying to add to our flock, i let 3 of my ducks go broody but that has resulted in a lot of stress... we lost our couple day old yesterday and my first nest we lost 2 ... only one duckling out of all this so far, it's doing super good @ 4wks which i am grateful for but i am not really feeling very 'let's add more' ya' know?
Aww that's so sad. I would be sad and stressed out too. I know that I will be glad I closed the flock after June as we contemplate what we want to do next year. While I am not overly concerned with making money off selling our extras eggs- I would like to recoup the cost of feed and the added water costs which as rather significant for us (keeping a man made pond full that drains nicely plus triple digits and nearly no humidity in full sun means a once a week top off.). So we have a lot of things to consider this year while we get our feet wet with farm livin'. I both dread and look forward to the breeding stages- for the very reasons to what you are experiencing right now. The excitement/stress. <3LOL.. your funny, hey if you enjoy it why not, right?
