That was my first thought as well but it is odd that she chirps like a chick and if you notice in the close up still has what appear to be downy feathers the others have been feathered out for a long time now these were purchased mid February

I’ve been reading “empire of the summer moon” it is a historical work about the Comanche and it is fantastic but not for the faint of heart.

Notice the tiny one All of the birds in that first picture are the same age or at least were purchased at the same time. They could not be more than a week apart in age That is them when purchased so obviously roundabout the same age. My question is what in the world is happening with...

Yes I waited a bit and put them out there with a lamp and plate they did great I just have one runt and lost one turkey that went native and decided he wanted to be wild. Neither of those can be attributed to going outside that early lol.

Yeah I probably should have mentioned that from the beginning. I’ve seen a lot of dead birds from a lack of grit. A lot of people never think about it

Pine shavings are your friend if you can get to a tractor supply get the white bag.

Also I am not a social media type I only do forums related to my interests so I tend to not think of things in that way.

One of my buddies that hunts just showed me this place https://www.facebook.com/p/Hidden-Hills-Whitetails-and-Game-100057526416260/ I don’t personally hunt but it seems like that might be a little unsportsmanlike to “hunt” a royal palm and bourbon red

For housing I’ll defer to someone more knowledgeable for now id find a way to keep them inside until you can get a permanent arrangement made. I had a huge area for my poultry as they live in a coop I made from a single car garage in the barn on our property. So I am not well versed in this...

They can live a good life as long as you give them the correct environment and plenty of exercise. I have a broad breasted white hen that runs around with my chickens and will literally run from 100yds away to greet me when I get home. These little ones won’t live nearly as long as a heritage...

you’re gonna need a bigger shelter. As far as raising them it’s the same as chickens they are a little more fragile but as long as you provide them high quality food and clean water along with heat they will do great. I highly recommend spending the money on a name brand gamebird starter to...

Good deal thank you Yes I had to give my two toms away because they likes the road but I have a hen that’s my avatar picture and two little ones growing up right now.

So out of all the possibility would any of them be bad for a newcomer to keeping chickens?

Awesome I let my birds out before I go to work every day which is before the sun comes up and they are always waiting on me. The turkey is kind of lazy but the chickens are ready to go.
