I got some straight run cream leg bars. They are 3 weeks tomorrow. All 3 are looking roosterish and one "pullet". I think I grabbed all the straight runs anyway.

Turkey's are alot more delicate. Where are you getting eggs and have you checked for fertility? Have you candled your eggs? I like to candle twice with them, one at about 10 days then the week of hatch. I get a lot of eggs that just don't start and 1 in 10 or so that develop and don't...

I know I want about a dozen blue layers (cream legbar?) and a dozen fluffy bantams. I also might get a hatchery surprise box, where alot of the money is I know, but I think I can sell most of those and even out the cost.

Just trying to make myself feel better. lol.

Wow 79 dollars a chick! That's really helping me feel better about 12 a chick. I think I had already kinda calculated up what I was buying then my mom asked for some bantams and sticker shock.

I know it depends on breed and that type of thing, but what do you consider a good price for chicks? Straight run and pullets. I'm looking at ordering some online and I've never bought store chickens full price.

What should I take a picture of? I geuss its not broke, she holding her head upright now. Still not standing by herself but she did try after being moved in the house but was to top heavy/limp and fell over. She looks a lot better than this morning.

One of my three month old turkeys fell off the roost last night I think she broke her neck. She's chirping and can stand assisted, but isn't moving parts of the neck or her wings. If i managed to brace it could she recover and live like a normal turkey? Or do I just need to take her out back?

Thank you. It was "just" 10 and I only kept half. And planning to trim it down to 3 but we'll see how that goes.

I wouldn't think more than a a day or two, they surely didn't eat much. What's in your ant killer? Some of it is corn based so swapping brands might help keep chickens out or using just non instant grits (the grits swell in their belly and they pop) where chickens can get.

Aren't those soild brown? Here's a slightly better picture.

Tractor supply had the last ducklings marked down so I've got ducks. Does anybody know what kind? Sorry about the cruddy picture, the at home ones were worse.

Thank you. He sure is a pretty fella. Compared to him definitely looks like a hen. Ive been comparing her to the younger birds.

That's what I've been thinking, but no attempts at puffing up or gobbling.

Does this look more like a hen or a tom? It was born may 24 so it's like 5ish months old. It was middle of the pack size wise before a fox got the others.

The pearls are pretty freindly. My brother likes to sit in the yard and hold them.

1. How old are the members of your flock(s) & what does it (do they) consist of? 2 year old turkeys tom and hen, 16 4ish month chickens and one turkey, 3 2 month turks The chickens are 4 of each smokey pearl, amberlink, cali tan and isa brown. 2. What feed do they get? Crumble while theres...

Last hatch my problem was humidity in the first week. The house is old and drafty so with all the rain my humidity went up and down crazy. Then the only chick to hatch out of 18 hatched three days early. So check the weather before setting eggs.

I haven't tried it, but I was told by a guy that witha degree in poultry sience that if barley refgerated hatching eggs will last longer with better hatch rates. But they've also been in there who knows how long and shook by a truck. I would geuss the hatch rate about the same as any shiped egg...

Thanks. I'm just kinda freaked out with that one hatching two days early. I set them at the same time. Is that normal?
