I would have never thought of this! Thank you guys! That’s why I asked here. Thanks again! My toms have a large area to free range, so I haven’t had that problem... yet! I’m glad to see it’s nothing more than stubbornness. X2!

Hi everybody! It’s been a long time since I’ve been on this thread, but I have a question for the experts. A woman I sold two poults go least year asked me about the Tom. She said his chest is bald, and I asked her to send me pictures. I first asked her if she noticed hiM preening...

Thank you, I already have the Tylan 50 on hand. How much of a dose do you give for a turkey? She is a full grown BR from your eggs. I’ll do some research on the site here...

Hey all, can I have some help please? My one turkey has a sinus infection. Only her one side looks bad, and she is eating a drinking okay, slightly less, because she’s trying to go broody. I don’t think it’s MG, even though it’s got a swollen sinus and clear fluid weeping out. I just...

:lau Hey all! I haven’t visited this thread in a long time, but I had to share this short video of my BR fanning her fanny!

Five healthy bug eyed babies from the 7 that made it to lockdown. They are so cute! Dad is a RP, mothers may be BR, MB or RP. Sadly, I lost my favorite Mottled Black the other night. She was laying eggs somewhere in the woods and didn’t come back to the coop at night. Yesterday I...

Thy look so terrible after a morning of soaking rain and then snow. Looks like my turkey eggs are fertile! I found two today, so I have two girls that have come into lay. I also have a small chicken that I’m pretty sure has gone broody. I will let her sit for a couple of days, but if she...

Glad you made it home safely! It was pretty rough here in the SE Pa too.

Because it was so nice out today, and I am home sick with a cold, I put my 2 week old chicks outside to play. I sat and watched them and of course the turkeys came over. My favorite Mottled Black always comes close, so I wrapped an arm around her and she sat with me. Then one of the white...

What a relief it is to find one you have thought was lost! :wee

It always looks clumsy to me! Hopefully my young Tom will get better with practice! He is certainly better than my old fat one. I am glad I rehomed him.

Thanks, maybe it’s because I don’t see him up close that often, but he let me put him on my lap today. He certainly seems happy, strutting all day for his girls. He has also begun mating them too, saw him at it twice today!

Do you guys think my Toms face looks swollen? I'm still newer to Turkeys. :)

So one or two of my girls were squatting for me the other day. Today I saw Henry “give it a go” with two different hens. He seems to be a little clumsy, hopefully he will improve. The first mating seemed successful, the second, not so much. Haha! He is quite handsome, but seems so small...

This is funny, but only if you're not the one being attacked. http://www.cleveland.com/rocky-river/index.ssf/2018/01/aggressive_wild_turkeys_in_roc.html

Another funny turkey tale. We had to go out New Years Eve, and I knew I wouldn't be home before dark. We had the fox attack last week around dusk, and I was nervous he would return. So before I left, I took my pajamas that I had worn for a few nights and hung them on the tree near the coop...

Good to know! And thanks everybody for your help. My big clumsy Tom went to his new owner, where he will go to freezer camp in a couple of days. I feel fpvery proud that I gave him a good life and that he will have a swift end.

Oh do I have a story for you all. Yesterday, sadly we had a bad fox attack. We only lost two hens, and had one more injured, but it was rough. The flock was free ranging, which actually probably helped. Only my husband was home, and one of the chickens bodies was left, I guess a roo or...

At least your girl went broody in the nest, this was one of my girls last year. Next to the house.... :lol:

That's true. I haven't seen too many extra feathers, but you just never know! :eek: Perverts!
