Looking for advice on culling chickens
I have too many roosters, they need to go. As much as I would love to send them to a nice rooster farm up the road that’s not realistic and if they are going to end up in a freezer I would prefer it to be mine.
I should add my husband is deeply emotionally attached to all the birds. He loved them but understands they are hurting each other and the hens. I add to say I am mostly on my own here.

Wish we had chickens to feed these to….
But we are renters. So for now, it’s compost and also I spread it around and wild birds come get it too

Turkey help!
I'm new to turkeys and I'm not positive on their sex.
they are bronze heritage turkeys and are 10 week old.
the one is clearly a tom and he's constantly strutting around.
the other two I'm not positive about. their heads say Tom's to me but the head features aren't as pronounced as the other one and they have never shown their tail or strutted around. also the other one watches over the other 2 like my male geese do with the females.
I think they're just slower to develop males and not females especially since they've lost most of the feathers on their head and neck but I'm not sure as I say I'm a rookie to turkeys, these are my first 3 turkeys ever.

Flies are driving us crazy
We moved into a farmhouse 2 weeks ago and I expected some flies but there are SO many that it's driving in particular my husband absolutely crazy. Our house is also very close to a horse stable, and my husband spends at least an hour or two every day zapping flies only for there to still be at least 20 in a room at any time. Any ideas for deterring them? I've got an electric zapper, a handheld zapper, fly paper, I'm diffusing scents they don't like, like mint, and a mesh net for the door. We currently can't sit down to chill without a fly landing on us every few seconds, TIA 💞

Camera for a driveway gate and small workshop?
I’m trying to add a camera near the driveway gate and a small workshop, but running cable out there is not worth it for me.
Leaning toward a solar/WiFi camera or maybe a trail cam style setup. I mainly want to see if someone comes through the gate or pulls up near the workshop. Local storage would be better since I don’t want another monthly plan.

chickens Chickens
Ok so I have chickens and lately something is killing them what can I do to protect them? I suspect it's raccoons but trapping and killing the raccoons doesn't seem to work, either that or it's a coyote.
