What are thoughts and opinions on pellets vs crumbles?
My big chickens Lucy and Ethel aren't laying yet but will I have to buy " food layer" or can I keep them on the all flock?
I've had them on a 30% but trying now to see what i need to go to (why i asked for advice) They are not being raised for meat, they are pets. The 18% all flock is an all around bird feed? I have chicks on their own food but I have two chickens the same age as the turkeys. They have been on the...
Well that's what it was I found it at TSC for an awesome deal but it was a pick up from that store only. I can't order it online. I found a good deal on it out of state but shipping costs are more than the feed itself. I will talk to them see what they say at TSC.
SO my turkeys are now about 16 weeks old. I am finding a hard time finding feed for them at local feed stores. I found one bag of feed for about $20 at feed store where that same bag sells for $54 on Amazon. Any reasonable recommendations that won't break the bank? The feed I found before I can...
We have had chickens and turkeys for almost 2 months and I've started to look into an agricultural exemption and to start selling the eggs once that time comes around. Just trying to get my ducks in a row before the time comes. I have read so many pages and I have seen where you can get an ag...
That's why I wanted to ask, to see if anyone has done it and what is the fine print. What actual requirements are there, ie how many chickens, do you have to sell a certain amount, ect.
I have been trying to read all into it and I can't find where it states land requirements. I read somewhere that selling chicken eggs can make you exempt as agricultural (not timber)
I am thinking it is fowl pox. The bump has now turned red. And now after investigating, I did find a sore on one of the other turkeys. It is not raised like the other one and has already scabbed over. The pic with the red circle on top is a different turkey than the one with it around the eye.
So I just noticed a “sore” above my turkeys eye. There turkey doesn’t seem to be in pain and act completely normal. There’s no blood, puss or anything. It’s just a bump and it seems to have a tiny pin prick in the middle but it’s hard to see. Possibly a spider bite? Anyone seen anything like...
Thank you all again! I am unsure and very skeptical on the info the feed store gave me. One person told one thing and another told another, and after reading and reading I have learned you can not always tell early. If the feed store gave me the correct age they should be about 6 weeks old
Supposedly they were 2 females and 1 male but then when I called the feed store to confirm they then said 2 males and 1 female. Interesting! Thank you!
I tried searching old posts but couldn’t find pictures for comparison. I’ve come to notice that two of my poults have very red necks and I wasn’t sure why. Is this normal? Is this showing me that he is a male? I have noticed it on two out of the three i have. Should i be worried?
