If you process your own turkeys, what do you use to scald them in? I usually skin or occasionally dry pluck, but my friend wants to scald her big chickens. Any suggestions?

My hen ate a good breakfast and supervised water refill. I don't know what was wrong but she seems fine now. No snakes yet and no turkey hunt last night. Things are looking up!

It's a fun game, isn't it? Unfortunately, I walked the entire pasture this time. Those weeds are like loofahs. My arms and legs are totally exfoliated. I guess that'll make it easier for the chiggers to eat me alive. Since I don't live there, I can't watch what they're doing. I hope we don't...

I played a neat game tonight. Find the hen. I searched for about 30-40 minutes before my friend came and helped. About 30 minutes later, I found her at the back of the pasture. Debbie had already looked there a few minutes before. She was really tucked in. I haven't brought the tom over, so eggs...

Look what my friend made me.

Thanks, I tried that several times. I finally got it working.

Thank you. I had no idea that was there. I think I messed with it enough, it got confused and is working now. I hope to get my internet back this week or next.

My internet has been out for over a week. I'm at a friend's, borrowing her's. Can anyone tell me how to re-set my subscriptions? BYC doesn't send any emails anymore. Every time I go in to try to change it, it says site only. I can't seem to get it to switch to daily emails again.

Sorry to hear that. I had several babies do that one year. I finally stopped using shelf liner in the brooder and haven't had one since (knock on wood). I tried splinting, but it never worked.

My friend's neighbor has a young LGD that has started coming over when we are out feeding in the evening. Tonight, he met the turkey hens. Really good thing there was a gate between them. I thought those hens were going to take me out getting to him. They were all fluffed up and screeching...

Honey, these Emus will need a coop of their own.

Ok, I need some advise. I have a hen that hatched babies on May 5. She was one of 3 hens and the other 2 didn't like her, so they've been chasing her off. But all 3 hens have raised the (now) 18 babies. But she apparently didn't have the mother experience she was looking for, because she...

You could at least offer her a Mike's Hard Lemonade

Cinco De Mayo babies with one of the Moms. Troop Turklet and Troop Chicklet gathering before the big expedition. And we're off! Those who chose to go on the expedition are anxious to get going and are off to a great start. There seems to be some hesitation on the part of a...

Oh no! Hope it's a fast and uneventful recovery.

Sorry, no, broody hen under broody turkey doesn't break them. It breaks eggs. Ask me how I know! I think I broke my chronic broody turkey. I still have some bees in my coop and since I'm a total weeny when it comes to bees, I haven't gone in that part of my coop in 3 days. So, I hadn't...

Wish I knew which cockerels I'll be keeping. I'd get them harnesses and strap them to me. I could carry them everywhere with breaks for petting and treats.

How'd Andy feel about that?

I'm hatched out. I have 19 hatched, 1 culled due to a fused hock, 2 pipped eggs and 2 doing nothing. I have 4 turkey eggs in the bator and 12 chicken on the counter to go in on the 14th. Those are for broody hens, if they don't break before I can let them have eggs. I need to move the...
