Very helpful!!

I have two turkeys and I need someone to kill/clean them but I have no idea where to go. I live in the grandrapids Michigan area, does anyone know of a bird processor in this area?

I was upset when I lost two and my own dogs killed them. So I would be beside myself furious if one of my neighbors dogs got ahold of any of them. So sorry you lost so many of them I know how expensive raising chicks up to layers is and its very disheartning to know that you just lost Eggs which...

You sure are gonna have some happy hens!!!

I had one that was doing that too and I went to the feed store and bought that feed that has antibiotics in it and with in a few days she was back to her old self so it must have worked. All my girls are laying now and they are free range so no antibiotics in my eggs, but I used that feed for a...

No dogs are good around chickens. I have two that acted like they wouldn't hurt our chickens for weeks then one night I came home to two dead chickens in my yard and two dogs covered in blood!! I even went to the vet to see what his thoughts were on the dogs and chickens living together in peace...

Chickens don't need anything fancy just a place to perch at night, food, water, and shade for the hot days. I have seen all kinds of coops from old trailers to just two peices of plywood set on the ground in the shape of a triangled roof. The main thing is to keep them safe from other animals...

If my momma Turkey produces eggs why can't I just let her hatch them out? Why do you have to have a incubator? I am not planning on breeding them but I do have a male and a female and I wouldn't mind little baby turkeys.

My turkeys have their wings clipped and i have a fence that is around 5' high. They don't even try to fly out. I do pen them up in a coop at night so other animals won't eat them. I have found that they need alot of room to run around and they love to eat lightning bugs

I was just asking my husband why my eggs would not peel. lol I am so happy that it's not just me that had this problem. It is really gross to think about store bought eggs being easy to peel cuz they are old though:/ I sure am glad that I have my own eggs and I know they are fresh daily! Plus...

Your top hen is the one who calls them all to eat and tells them all its time for bed My top hen is very loud and makes sure that all the other hens know when I come out the door of the house. I bring them crumbled corn bread in the mornings so they all come running when the front door opens...

I have many animals also and I loved my chickens so much that I decided to get some turkeys. They are in a large fenced in area with a coop built on one side that they go in at night so I can close the door to keep preditors away from them. I am sure I went a little overboard with the fenced in...
