So there must just be some really bad luck going around. I just went outside to one of my coops where I have a broody sitting on eggs due to hatch this weekend. Well my group of 4 tree roosting misfits made their way into the broody coop and got one of her eggs. the chick was fully developed but they broke the egg open. Agh I am having the worst broody luck this week. And to top it off just a few days ago the turkey hens broke another one of their eggs that had a developing poult inside.

THere is a curse of multiples. DId you know about this?? Maybe not. A friend and I often discussed this. If we had only one horse, all would be well with an occassional boo-boo. NOw add in more and suddenly, all sorts of mishaps occurred. We got prettygood at diagnosing and treating. lol Seems to be the same phenominon applies to all animals.



I had taken this picture just before I sold this little guy. He was so friendly as he hatched a month after everyone else so he was raised with the chicks in the bathtub.

Lovely!!

My blind dog also had the entire place memorized. She didn't miss a beat. She memorized the place so well until she caught one of my brother's baby piglets and killed it when she was outside walking around. Til this day, I never told him what happened.

I had to dispose of the body discreetly.

So, I definitely understand how blind animals can get around just the same if not better than seeing animals.
We won't tell-- crap happenes. Smart to keep it discreet. Keeps the peace.Smart dog.

Dogs are predators plain and simple.

Hi everybody. I just started into turkeys this year as well. Got some Orlopp Bronze that are due for freezer camp soon and just got some Heritage breeds to keep and breed. I have really been enjoying the experience and actually like the turkeys more than the chickens...don't tell my chickens...

Very pretty turkeys! The more I see Bronze the more I really like them. And I always see everyone say they like turkeys better than chickens I might be odd but I choose chickens over the other poultry and waterfowll

I like chickens because they are more useful--- eat everything. Lots of eggs, meat, good production all around.Totally practical. But turkeys? THere is something special about them.

I fit TWO 12 month heritage birds in my roaster pan-- the same pan that fits, barely, my 35# BBW. I do like the taste MUCH better.
