yes that's the only down side of breeding, but I want to breed anyways so I guess I will have to learn I just had to put down one of the chickens a few weeks ago due to water in the lungs.
I have a nareggessta pet hen and three babys and only ended up with one tom but I will be breeding them then so I need to be looking for a different tom because the baby's are her kids and the tom would be breeding with her so I need to find a new tom.
Alright well we are almost to three months that penny hen has been setting on an empty nest. I think I am starting to finally break her I and all I did was move her cage where her nest was at and put it up off the ground and she is now not jumping up on her nest, she isn't constantly trying to...
Ok I have a tom who is almost two months old and after hearing some story's about family who has had toms how can I keep him from becoming agressive. My neighbor said there was a tom up the road and it would come down and would attack the cars and would chase after you then. And then my mom as a...
I wish you luck also never had so much trouble breaking a broody chicken so why Is it so hard to break a turkey hen. I had finally got one chicken to go broody to set on my silkie eggs I was going to order and I was using turkey eggs to get her to do so but when I was ready to pitch out the...
I have chickens do that so I wouldn't see why not, it seems to be the same with our turkey hen and your hen he chicken is trying to get in there to lay and she is just to big to shove out of the box. the chickens need more boxes built and they shove each other out and then they hop back up and...
anyone know any ways to break a turkey hen from brooding cause if she doesn't come off soon I might just give her some chicken eggs. she has been setting now for about 1 month and 16 days or more
Well I still haven't been able to break her I get her off the nest and lock her out of the one so she can free range to get away from the nest but she just circles and circles the pen for a shoe but then my dad goes and let's her in, but she is out and off the nest for a few hours at times I get...
I would say the only thing there is you can do is feed her some soft things scrambled eggs and just something that isn't hard for her to easily pick up.
I am only selling chicks to people in the state cause I think it's cruel to ship live animals like that half way across the country especially when some people try to do it in 70+ degrees in the back of a ups truck or something traveling without food and water going over 6+ hours I don't ever...
