    Can somebody identify this turkey breed?

    Hey guys! I have this turkey breed that I just cannot figure out what it is. I bought turkey eggs that were all supposed to be Rio grande. Once they hatched I realized that half of them looked like the Rio grandes but they were lighter. They’re 4 weeks old now and the lighter colored ones have...

    Leg twisted 170 degrees?

    It's a batch of 4 turkey poults that are 6 days old. They hatched with some other chicks. They all seemed to be doing fine, everyone looked okay although I haven't closely examined all of them yet. Today my father notices one of the turkey poults seemed to have his leg stretched out behind him...

    Turkey poult

    So I work at a local humane society and today animal control brought in a turkey poult. I have backyard chickens but never raised turkeys so I am not sure how old he/she is. And not sure on what is fed to young turkeys. I did have someone bring me some of my all flock feed pellets as I didn't...

    Turkey Poult Necrospy

    I received my turkey poults 4 days ago and nearly half of them have died. The healthy ones are doing great, but those who died just faded and wouldn’t eat or drink despite being shown where food and water was. Figured it was the stress of being shipped across the country… I cut two open and...

    Sexing Turkey Poults

    I did a search and surprisingly didn’t find another thread; I was told it can’t be done. There is a hatchery that sells sexed turkey poults, but only BB. Tell me your methods, old wives tale or otherwise. Some percentages (rough, not exact) on how many you got correct using x method would be...

    Is this poult blind?

    I had a poultry hatch day and noticed his eyes were noticeably different from the others. At first I thought maybe I was overthinking things and maybe it was the lighting so I left him alone for a bit but lo and behold they are still the same. They’re this milky color. Sorry the picture isn’t...

    Turkey Poult Sick?

    I have a 3 week old (I think?) turkey poult and I'm concerned! They keep their neck tucked in, and the few times they've stretched it they start doing this gagging/swallowing movement? I tried giving them water, but that didn't help. Their crop is full, and they're sleeping standing up. I just...

    Eye Patch for Bird?

    Has anyone ever put any kind of patch over the eye of a bird? I am wondering if I can do this safely. I have a turkey poult with a blind eye and the way she eats is to tilt her head so that the blind eye is actually IN the food. This causes the food to get pushed into her eye and eye socket...

    Dying poults

    I recently purchased 6 Bourbon Red turkeys, they all arrived in good condition and alert. A few were a little sleepy but seemed to perk up as they settled into their home. On day 3 of having them (they were 5 days old) I came home and found one dead. I quickly removed it and spent a little...

    Hello, my turkeys hatched yesterday and one chick still isn’t able to walk or stand. The others from this clutch are doing great. What should I do or is this normal? I’ve never hatched turkeys before so this is all new to me. Thank you so much
