    Overweight broadBreasted white?

    I should’ve done more research before buying but I got 2 broad breasted whites to have as “pets”. Now I found out they are meat birds and will more than likely not live long. They are 8 months old the Tom is around 75-80 pounds the hen is around 30-45 pounds. My question and worry is that I may...

    Male Turkey with Female Chickens?

    Hello! I guess I have two male turkeys. Lol so I have them in the same area with about 20 chicken hens and 1 Rooster. Do you think I will have any issues? The coop is 10x10 with lots of roosting bars. The “run” is a fenced in area that’s about 60 feet by 80 feet. Do you think I’ll have...

    What’s the chance of toms coexisting?

    I am hoping to buy a new Tom for breeding season and rehome the current one, as he didn’t produce the desired color. However, getting a new Tom could be a problem because of my precious little man who broke his leg. Him and the current Tom (his father) strut together, working together to impress...

    Help! Turkey is ill!

    My Turkey chick (nearly 2 months old) has diarrhea and is looking very dopey (not wanting to move around with the flock), as well as keeping its head very close to its body. It has no spots/sores on it, and is not stargazing. I have separated it from the rest of my turkeys and am keeping it in a...

    Tom or Hen

    I have these 2 poults, the first I’ve bred, and I believe it to be a pair. The Tom gobbles and struts, so definitely a little man. They were both hatched on august 18th. The hen also struts, but she had 6 older brothers, so I’m not surprised. I am only posting him on here for comparison, mama...

    What is the survival rate of Turkey poults with a first time momma Turkey

    Hi, I might sound stupid, I know this is a question I should be able to google, but I couldn’t find any answers. No matter what search variable I used, nothing. So, what would the odds of 8/8 poults surviving with a first time momma? My girl recently hatched her poults and so far (the first ones...

    Helping turkey with bumble foot

    Hi everyone, my turkey has bumble foot and I have done a lot of research on how to get rid of it but there's one thing I'm not sure of. All of the videos of people removing the scab and dressing the wound are done to a chicken, who is on its back. My turkey is way too big to be able to lay on...

    Turkey hen with swollen snood

    My momma Turkey hen who just hatched out poults has been acting normal, but just today I noticed her snood is all swollen and shiny. I couldn’t get a good side profile picture, but it’s definitely swollen and abnormally shiny. It doesn’t seem to bother her at all, she acts normal. Is it...

    Poult with hard crop?

    I have a poult with a very hard crop, he’s about a week old, had to have a bit of assistance due to his mother breaking his egg tooth and beak tip off, but still pushed out of the egg on his own. Has been doing great despite being stunted and a bit… odd looking. He poops normally and seems full...

    Any guesses on this poults color variant?

    I have had 5 poults hatch out so far, the first 4 were all stereotypical blacks, I think they will be Rusty blacks, but the 5th one is different. It is black, but has a different pattern. First picture is the baby, 2nd is what all the others look like, and last ones are parents. Mom is an...

    Baby Turkey with damaged toe?

    Ok, this lil guy is about a week old and he seems great no problems at all, but his toe tip is dark grey and looks dead. He doesn’t seem in pain, but It’s not just coloration. I think he had it since hatch, but I just thought it was natural color then, seeing as he has black and pink legs.

    My turkey has an injury on his stomach! Help!

    Last week I noticed one of our male pet turkeys was hiding in the back of his pen. When checking on him I quickly realized our other male turkey (that have always gotten along) was trying to attack him. So we moved him. Once moved we noticed he had mites, we treated & thought that was the issue...
