    Angel wing in turkey poult?

    First time turkey mom! I was curious if this is angel wing or a normal part of growing? I was told it was angel wing and then told turkeys don't get angel wing and it was normal. I feed the gamebird starter which is 30% protein, so seeing angel wing is caused by high protein diet I need to know...

    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...

    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...

    Can Turkey hens spit?

    I have 5 little poults, about 2-3 weeks old, I am raising, I’m planning on selling 2 of them soon. Both strut, one more than the other, but I do not believe this to be a gender implication because the other 2 times I’ve raised turkeys, the hens strutted just like the Toms. Just today I was...

    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.

    Baby Turkey still absorbing yolk trying to hatch

    I have a poult who has no egg tooth, but it’s pip was enlarged by its mother, who is also the cause if the missing egg tooth, and it wants freedom from the shell. I was going to let it do that, but then I saw a decent amount of un absorbed yolk still in the egg. How do I stop it from hatching to...

    Can a Turkey poult hatch without an egg tooth?

    I have a baby Turkey with no egg tooth, it pipped and lost the egg tooth at some point. Can it finish hatching, it has a relatively large pip. Definitely missing egg tooth. I think the hen I had it under had something to do with that, but it’s in the incubator and seems fine now. Edit: here’s...

    Heritage poults. First time mama. Curious about if they’re boys or girls.

    They’re 2 1/2 months so this is just an educated guess I’m asking for. 😅 I feel like a new chicken mama asking the question. The smaller one cries a lot and wants nothing to do with humans. The bigger is a little more approachable and does the took-took noise. No displaying. Second and third...

    MYSTERIOUS TURKEY POULT

    I have this little 2-4 week old rescued turkey poult. We know the little brown one he's with is a narragansett, and we thought the little guy was a Spanish black but he's getting bright white with black tipped feathers in the older he gets? All images are from today. I have no clue anymore as to...

    Will she get lonely?

    I had two poults that I raised with 9 salmon faverolles, 3 almost 4 months old. one of the turkeys died yesterday (predator, dealt with), Will the remaining turkey be lonely being the only turkey or will it be fine with the salmon faverolles?? They don’t perch together since the turkey likes...

    Sick Turkey

    I have a 2.5 month old turkey who's been acting sick these last couple of days. Hunched over/droopiness, ruffled feathers, pale, definitely weak and not as active as usual, some weight loss (from loss of appetite), and this weird green diarrhea. She's such a sweetheart I would hate to lose her...

    Turkey poult dying please help

    I need everyone’s advice. Brought home some turkey poults not even a week old. One of them started doing like a gag motion and really weak. Won’t eat. Sounds stuffy when it breathes. It died. Now a few days later another one is getting symptoms. Doesn’t sound stuffy but it keeps closing its eyes...

    Baby with Bulging Eye?

    I have a three day old turkey poult that I hatched. Its right eye is bulging. It actually looks like the fluid behind the lens is increasing. I don't think he's eating, but his siblings are. I am concerned he might have more going on that I don't know about, which is one thing...But I'm also...

    Hatched a poults that mom abandoned at final hour

    I just had to bring a poult in to hatch and help it because mom left the nest and didn’t return. It was peeping and crying a lot more than a normal hatch so I helped it just a little but it did most of the work. I have never had a brand new one inside. I don’t have an incubator. I have it...

    Unusual looking chick- is she a poult?

    So I recently got 2 Barred Rock chicks, and one of them looks very different from the other. Definitely not a BR then. Her eyes are more bigger then the others, her beak is a different color, shes bigger than the other, her legs are black and only toes pink, and her neck is slightly longer. I...

    Hen with severe leg injury

    One of our two roosters jumped on our smallest hen and did something to her leg. I imagine her leg is out of the socket or something. It's literally resting on the ground behind her. I cant feel anything obviously wrong with it but I'm no professional. She also has poop butt pretty bad come...
