I know some stuff about farm animals! Just holler. Great looking snakes and birds. What are you feeding your meat birds?

I'll certainly read his story. I'm very sorry he passed, he was simply adorable. I didn't know eggs were sold on eBay...good to know!
Thanks for the extra pics!

Sorry about your loss of the emu. He sure is cute in the pictures! That is one nice looking snake you have there. They are my absolute favorite, well along with spiders. Welcome to the forum!

Re: Ball Pythons, Corn snakes........and Turkeys? Chickens too!
The turkey WAS delicious!
As far as what I feed the birds~ I've not been using a national brand name feed~ we have a little feed mill J&R in town I use their blends. I usually start with non-medicated 28% protien game bird started. More protien than the chickens need~ but it's good for the ducks and it's non medicated. I'll switch to medicated if I ever have too~ but for now the non medicated seems to work well for me and I prefer to try it. After about 6 weeks I switch to a 15% protien layer pellet. A little early~ but I haven't been able to convince the birds that one feeder is JUST for the babies.......so when I mix new babies in they wind up eating what the adults are on. I free range all the birds~ so most of the year they hussle for most of their food in the form of bugs, grass, weeds and seeds. They eat a lot of table scraps~ chickens LIKE table scraps and garden extra's. In fact~ if I don't remember to turn on the motion activated sprinkler in my garden the entire garden turns into supplemental chicken food that day!!
It's winter so I'm not getting as many eggs right now~ about a dozen a day~ but I have more pullets coming up and plan to increase that quite a bit. As of now I'm able to sell my extra eggs for enough to cover the feed costs in summer (winter feeding is heavier while egg production is down so egg sales are not quite covering what I spend on feed right now) The plan is for the egg sales to cover the cost of the poultry and give me a little cash as well~ and to provide us with all the fresh healthy free range meat and eggs we can eat ourselves! We'll see how all these new chics I'm brooding integrate with the current flocks!
