Thank you everyone. I am so sad also. I love love turkeys. But, from what I've read, there's no real treatment. We already practiced regular worming etc, but the protozea can persist for years in the earthworm population. This was a farm before we bought it. Some of our chickens are rescues...

I have 8 week old turkey poults dropping one by one. Mixed varieties. Purchased from local feed store who says they were vaccinated for coccidosis. All seem spunky and healthy. One will pull away from group day 1 and be dead day 2. Feeding unmedicated flock grower (turkey, duck). We have...

Looking to add silver wyandottes to the flock. Looking for a layer and a roo. Prefer to trade, for any of the following: - Easter egger laying hen (1yo) - Leghorn/aruacana roo (1yo) - barred rock roo (1yo) - barred rock laying hen (2yo) - chicks from any roo listed above, with any hen: Buff...

Yes I just found that, thanks & will do!

Louder than roosters or no? My roosters crow 24/7

I found they got along well until puberty, then became aggressive with one another. Formed a pecking order and the sr bothered the jr so much he'd jump fences to get away. We've gotten rid of them all, and won't do emus again until we find a pair. Dogs got along with them fine, even though the...

My trio of males resulted in the smallest one getting much abused by the larger two. Keeping them split was an easy fix.

Would you share a pic of the nest? I'm curious to see what they come up with in the us for nesting.

We had a wound here too. The emu had a run in with a barbed wire fence and tore a portion of her neck. Our brilliant vet suggested nu skin over the wound. She likened the emu hide (though this was on the neck) to chicken skin... very thin and veiny. sure enough, it healed over well and is...

Yes! We bought it, but we're in the midst of a remodel right now and that one is packed away in a box at the moment. :(

oh, and yay for northern california! I'm from Ophir :)

Wow, these are alot of questions! I can't answer them all at once, but I can help you go through and answer them bit by bit. We have 4, 6 and 8 ft fences. They jump the 4 & 6 foot fences if stressed. It's only happened when two ganged up on the third and he had to flee. Once we split them up...

So glad they made it home easy. Was great to meet Katsdar, looking forward to meeting you in the future. I tried to pick out the ones that weren't molting yet, so you could get some eggs, but stress might send them there anyway.

Well, maturation has resolved the gender mystery at Kingheman Ranch. It now appears ALL of our three emus are males. Anyone want to buy an Emu? We'd like to move two of them, sell at $150 OBO or trade for a female. They are in Conyers, GA Born spring 2013 They live with pigs, dogs and...

So apparently I'm wrong. The EMU start breeding now, as I learned when my boy tried to hump me while I was working on a project in the field this weekend. The are laying now through the rest of winter, so you'll start to see hatched chicks in the spring.

I built a standing waterer with 6" pvc and a nipple at the base. Stands on one end and is bracketed to the side of the barn. She had it figured out in seconds. Instructions I followed: https://themakingofahome.wordpress.com/2013/02/21/making-a-hog-waterer-from-pvc-pipe/

Oh, baby!

What for? I have 10 purebred barred rock hens and a few mutts (cross bred with aracauna and buff).

Hehe, I have an ABUNDANCE of roosters. We hatch about 70% roo for some reason.
