I hatched out my first batch of turkey poults, and I’m very concerned for the first hatched. She can’t walk right or control her legs, and I’m not sure how to help. She’s about 24 hours old now, which I know is young, but I’ve hatched dozens of other chickens and peacocks and never had a chick...
I have 50 straight run chicks and 9 straight run turkeys that are penned together. They are currently 5 weeks old. They've been doing great together! I know I'll need to separate them soon due to have fast turkeys grow.
I've noticed some of my chicks are loosing their feathers. Are they old...

Hello everyone. I'm just a little confused on the dosage and would like to confirm some things. Based on what I read, if my flock weighs a total of 90lbs, I need to use 0.225 mL in 8 cups of water. Does this sound correct?
Also....there are 16 cups of water in a gallon. So if my math is...
In the global field of poultry farming, turkey farming holds a unique and important position. For many people, turkeys are not only delicious dishes on the table but also an essential part of cultural traditions and economic industries. From being the iconic dish of Thanksgiving to the booming...
Has anyone known of Blackhead being a problem in Eastern Texas (Midway/Madisonville area)? I want to start raising a small flock of turkeys this spring but I need to make sure I have their set-up right before getting them. I do have a small flock of chickens as well.
Thank you all for your...
So we ended up with too many damn toms, who would have guessed! The problem is is that my mom doesn't want to cull them all. They're all under a year old, but just about full grown. And the boys are FIGHTING!!! also to no one's surprise.
Is caponizing adult turkeys a thing? Can it be done...
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...
I'm sorry if this is not posted in the correct place... I haven't been on this website in a few years and things have changed. I have been rescuing neglected chickens and other birds for 10 years. Mostly chickens and parrots, but I'm not as knowledgeable regarding turkeys. Anyway, last year...
I am so upset and confused. I went to check on my turkeys this afternoon and this is what I found. I hadn’t been out to the pasture since last night so I assume this happened sometime last night. I have had turkeys in this same tractor for three years now and this has never happened. It’s just...

As of today, I have 10 poults, 3 weeks and 3 days old. Initially, I had 11, but unfortunately, I lost one in the first week, possibly due to free-ranging too early with their mother, exposing them to disease.
After the loss, I immediately housed the remaining poults with their mother to ensure...

i'm currently looking into getting some royal palm turkeys, but i still have a few questions.
mainly:
1.)
cold/heat hardiness - especially with temperatures below zero in the winter and above 100F in the summer
2.)
can they free range and roost naturally with minimal...
Hey there! I was wondering what I could give to my Turkey's as treats,
I usually do something like blueberry, or maybe some bananas,
But I've been wanting to give them something different to mix it up a bit, and I was wondering what some other people Like to give to theirs as treats!?
So I have a Narragansett female that has successfully hatched 3 chicks from a nest she had laid under a brush pile beside our shop. Afterwards, we kicked everyone else out & moved them into our coop with a small connected yard so the poults would be safe from predator birds. They are about 2 1/2...
Hello, everyone,
I live in Ukraine, I want to keep turkeys, but I don't understand anything about it, what can you recommend for a start. I was thinking something like this: Red Bourbon turkeys (I read about them on this site, they say they are not bad), Bronze turkeys - but maybe there are...
