Hey y’all, well it’s been super busy on my farm. Between pigs farrowing, getting honey hives ready for spring, starting seeds for the garden, splitting wood for next burning season, trying to get out for a spring turkey 🦃 hunt, hatching chicks and poults and getting ready for meat birds and...

Update, had to put one of my turkeys down yesterday ☹️. Lost one lavender pullet . I've consulted the vet again and asked about a necropsy, but it would be very costly $400++ There was a subsidized program at the University of Guelph for poultry disease research where I could have gotten...

Im also wondering if I do have to cull my flock will I encounter Mycoplasma gallisepticum infections in the future regardless, even with a new flock because my flock free range. I was researching that wild birds and rodents can cause it. We have wild turkeys, and lots of chipmunks? Thoughts?

Thank you, but I've never used YouTube before? Lesson learned about bringing in outside birds into your flock. I had rescued these birds from being killed and they were so young. I felt so badly for this farmer who was clearly in distress and his farm was in bad shape and over run with more...

Thank you

Yes these girls were kept in our barn for 10 days due to heath concerns and possibly infecting my flock with respiratory diseases. I'm curious about the cream/white colored one, we call her ghost. The grey/blue one we call her fitty for 50 shades of grey. Lol The little black one with red on her...

Hi Arya28, not too sure about their breeds. I was told they were "fancy" breeds. Lol

Thank you so much for all the help. I'm hoping the majority rules will apply with the more people who might be willing to share their expertise as to what some of these pullets may be. I appreciate the time you took to go through each picture.

Thank you Arya28

Thank you. I'm enjoying getting to see them out and exploring their new surroundings and freedom. All our birds free range all over our farm. They were all cage raised So they didn't know how to free range and forage. I even had to teach them to roost. But they are all super sweet and gentle and...
