I don't know ... Since I started doing this my neighbors coup has been hit twice by minks and mine has remained untouched.

Our coupe is open year round. We have 2 cats that were abandoned here last spring as small kitten's. They come and go from the coup 24/7. They actually snuggle with the hens when it's cold. There have been a few times that the door has been closed on the pen for the night when below 0 out ( I do...

Minks are horrible! I dispatched the one who got all our 7week olds last year! I was so upset ,the mink ripped a their heads off and left them. I put out a live trap with one of the dead chickens. He came back that night. Next morning he went swimming. ( I know some will think this is horrible...

I have half Cayuga and half mallard ducklings just hatched this morning. Will have full blooded mallards some time in the next week hatching also. Plus our borbon red turkey is on a nest of half her and half bronze breasted . I'm located 10 min north of Mansfield Ohio. For info please call Jen...

I am looking to buy or where to buy from a person a couple of Royal Palm turkey babies. I could even trade a couple of my Bronze Breasted Turkey babies. I don't like using the hatchery, last year 3 out of 4 of my new turkeys died a week after we got them home. The second order 2 of 6 didn't make it.

Have you tried Ground Clear weed killer on the weed? I've had problems for years with thistle all over my garden and poison ivy everywhere else. Last fall I'd had enough and tried ground clear. Nothing came back this year ! (Yeah) . It would be worth a shot to try it. I'd move my animals first...

UPDATE: This morning went out and had one more baby in the nest. Momma wouldn't go near it and the other babies were picking at it so I brought it in the house. Poor baby was cold and hungry. Guess this one will be inside with us for a few weeks. 2 inside the incubator hatched out last night...

We use this stuff called Fly Bait. It stinks like all get up but works. We have had a lot of problems with mink here . I put some in a bowl out side of the chicken coup after having 6 beheaded hens . The next morning I had 3 dead mink instead! We got it from the Mennonite farm down the road...

I have one like this that lays green eggs. I had no idea it was a she definitely looks more like a small rooster but when I had them separate this spring cleaning out all the houses and our winter pen she had an egg in her box (surprise) when I went to put her back in the run.

Oh yes we have a couple times since. It's a learning experience for us. We definitely all learned to leave them too it on their own. Also that if they don't make it there usually is a good reason such as health issues that they were better off to not hatch. Example : one didn't hatch all the...

Where is a good place to get young heritage turkeys from in northern Ohio? I started out with 2 baby turkeys this spring but the second one wouldn't learn to eat or drink even though it was in the pen with 10 chicks the same age. (Grandma always told me turkeys were morons that you had 2 raise...

Yes I learned a valuable lesson 2 months ago. I had 1 egg left in my incubator a chicken egg. When I heard it banging around for 12 hrs I decided to intervine. WORST MISTAKE EVER! Poor thing still had yoke attached to it. It suffered for 3 days before it died. Broke my children's and my...

I agree mine were out on the nest for 2 days . Eggs were ice cold and they still hatched.

If I get time today I'll get some pictures and figure out how to post from my phone.

Thank you! This is my first year hatching babies! Last year my brood were to young I think. This year has been amazing!

Well I brought in most of the eggs. After candling I ended up getting rid of 4 because 2 were not fertilized and 2 were only about a week in. Last night 2 hatched , 1 a tad early I think because it still has part of the sack and she'll attached. Don't think this one will make it. The other is...

Thank you. I've been a long time lurker and decided I needed to join as I always have questions.

Maybe they had a mix up because from the pics I looked up these don't look like the 300s more Khaki Cambell

I agree. Definitely look like Khaki Cambells.Never heard them called 300s before though.
