    Tom turkey aggression

    Since we've hatched out poults, now 2 months old, Tom has gotten more aggressive. Before we had poults he was fine I could touch him and he'd be kinda scared or content with it, now if I get too close he might peck or jump kick, and tries to charge when I turn my back. It's not that bad since...

    adding turkey poults

    I started out with 5 guineas. With the help of the incubator the flock is staying around 30 for the past 2 years. Last winter we added 10 mixed breed chickens. 2 were eliminated for dinner since they had a bad attitude. Still have 2 roosters and 6 hens. They are a various mix of banty and red...

    How many Turkey's do you need for breeding?

    Okay, so I was wondering how many heritage turkeys would you need for them to live comfortably together and breed? I have heard people say 1 Tom to 5 hens and I've even heard 1 Tom to 15 hens. I'm not looking to breed for meat or anything. I was just wondering since one day I hope to have some...

    Are we still sure this is a hen?

    Little Bruce Jenner here is definitely gender confused, poor girl. The guys at my local TSC call her my lesbian turkey and tell me this confusion is normal in “meat birds” (which she is absolutely NOT- but technically, her variation is, I suppose). Anyway, I wanted to be sure we are still sure...

    Deworming poults? Yes or no?

    I have an affliction. I’m a clean freak. It extends to my coops. I have 8 - 8 week old poults and 7 - 16 week mixed breed chickens. They’ve been side by side for months now. I clean both coops twice daily. Sometimes this means I’m out cleaning until well after midnight. My point is - it’s always...

    My 3 week old poults are panting in hot weather!

    My 3 week old poults are panting in hot weather. I have three fans going. They're out of the sun, they have electrolytes in their water and I even tried giving them little drinks of cold water (even though I read they shouldn't have cold water). The cold water seemed to help for a minute. They...

    Sexing 9 Week Old Poults

    I got two turkey poults 6 weeks ago (when they were two weeks old) and the lady was almost positive they were a male (the darker one) and a female (the lighter one). However I’m just not sure and obviously it’s extremely difficult to sex young turkeys. I was told they were a mix of Bourbon Red...

    Broad Breast Bronze Poults

    There's tons of info around that Poults can go outside permanently around 8-10 weeks. I was wondering how old they could be for me to place them outside on warm sunny days, while in an enclosed cage. I've placed chicks outside during days like the ones I mention, as soon I knew they wouldn't...
