I have a brooder set up for a few day old turkey and some week old ducklings that I hatched. They were all doing absolutely amazing and I went to refill their waterer and about an hour later I have four ducklings and a turkey poult flailing around suddenly and rearing their head backs. The ones...
I’ve got these two turkeys and was told they were mixed. I’m curious as to what type of crosses they are or if anyone has an idea of what breeds they’re mixed with
I’m hatching a few of my duck eggs and I had this little one hatch two days ago. It pipped right on time but did seem to struggle completely freeing itself. This little one at three days old now is still smaller than a one day old silkie and less than half the size of the other ducklings that...
