My girls are finally home. Hopefully in about 14 days they can go back out side. They both seem strong and happy. Talking up a storm. Good thing we have two bathtubs. Yes 3 where hurt but only 2 went to the vet. The third one I felt even though she had some torn skin would be just fine and she...
Thank you.
My girls will be home tomorrow. The vet has keeped them for 2.5 days. They will have to get shots every day in the chest and bandages changed every couple of days. The vet put some type of gel over the wounds that sills it off from air,dirt and flies after 14 days it starts to drop...
Thank you.
My turkey hens survived the night. My Husband just called and said he found a vet that will try to help them. We have to travel a hour but that's ok. Thank goodness we found someone that will help my girls. We sent the vet pictures and she said you would be surprised what turkeys can...

All my turkeys are still doing great. Still haven't had any sickness or health problems. Still have all 6.:love They are 6 months old now. Still no aggressive behavior to me or any family member. 2 of my hens are ready to mate. It's funny to watch the 2 boys try. They have no idea what they are...
Is it safe for turkeys to eat snack blocks for goats? My turkeys go visiting the next door neighbors and they have goats is why I ask. My turkeys seem to eat anything 😕.
My husband and I was talking earlier today about what ifs. We have no need or desire to butcher are turkeys but what if one breaks a leg? Well I think I could eat it. I'm not 100% sure. So this is just a what if thing anyways. I have no idea how to butcher a turkey. I mean we don't know how...
It's official my turkeys see me as a turkey. Im good with that. As long as they don't forget im the alpha. Well at least on does. Odin be his name. Anyways I sat down on the ground to hang out with my turkeys and Odin comes up to me and starts softly pawing my hand witch was resting on the...
I found a great thread. It's a chicken :love :ya thread but they enjoy my turkeys just as much as I do. It's great They have made me fill right at home. They don't have experience with turkeys but that's OK.
Going to have to pull all the old boards off are fence asap and rebuild. One of my boys tried roosting on the fence and a board broke and I found him stock in the wire by one of his legs. No idea how long he was upside down.

It's 11:35 am and heat index is already 105°f. I guess I will be turning on the sprinkler early today. My pour turkeys,chickens and ducks. My dogs stay in side and my cats can get under the house where it's much cooler. My flock stays under the porch except for the ducks.. 😓😰😥
Sorry about your hens. Happy to here about bumble foot.
This heat is bad for sure. Everyone are already panting this morning at 8.. I think I will put up another fan today. At least the nights are cool. Gives the flock a break..
I have never used this till today. Im worried about my flock over heating. Has anyone used this product? I put it in all the waterers this morning. Going to be over 100°f and I have no idea how bad the heat index will be today. I did Google the product but I was wondering if anyone here used it...
I went to Walmart today and got a very small child's water sprinkler to help keep my turkeys cool. The heat index got up to 105 today. The turkeys love it. They laid under the mist for a good 30 minutes at a time today. I made sure to turn it off in time so they would be dry before bed.
The...
New trial with my turkeys and roosters. My Bramha rooster and my two Tom's are starting to fight. I just stood there and watched to make sure the turkeys don't kill my rooster. Obviously it's two against one. I got scared and picked up my rooster to get it to stop but he wasn't having any of...
I'm so lucky. I should say I get luckier and luckier. Not just because my first time with turkeys is going so great but it's also because one of my females will be a bearded hen. 😁 was messing with my turkeys this morning and I noticed one of my females has a beard just under her feathers...
