    2026 show turkeys

    Hello all, I’m finally back and will be showing another turkey this year. Unfortunately last year when I was raising steers I was gone on a family vacation and my dad forgot to add baking soda into his feed so he ended up dying from bloat. This year I’m going to be helping my 4h leader out a...

    Injured turkey SOS

    My sweet Lucy (a big breasted white) hurt her leg jumping yesterday. She cannot put weight on it. There isn't a break as far as I can tell. The town I live in doesn't allow turkeys so I'm hesitant to bring her to a vet(if I could even find one that will see her). She ate a banana today and has...

    Feeding your LGD when you have turkeys

    How do you feed your LGD (mine is a Great Pyrenees) when the turkeys will push her out of the way and steal all of her food? Have you found an outdoor RFID feeder that will work. It's just crazy.

Both are getting the beginning of a beard but the white one’s seems to be thicker. White also like to chase a few particular chickens, like...

    Hello, please help my turkey! 🩷🥺 I have a 2yo heritage hen who has been off her feed enough that she's lost significant weight.

    A turkey was nesting in my hay field and got killed by the mower saving her eggs, I refuse to throw away life because she risked her life for those eggs. She had 14 and only one was broken and the chick in that egg looked like it had its “feathers” and colour already. Im asking for maybe...

    Sexing Royal Palm

    I took in a turkey about a year ago who ended up being a male. I hatched out two Royal Palm poults in hopes of getting him a girlfriend. They are about 10-weeks old now. The smaller one started strutting around 2 weeks of age but I can’t decide if they look male or female or one of each...

    Question: Can you hatch refrigerator eggs, especially if they already have chicks forming inside?

    Okay, so. Hi. My Aunt-in-Law gave us turkey eggs to eat and she has a tom with her lady turkeys, so definitely fertilized. I can also confirm the babies forming because she tends to leave her eggs out on the counter, unwashed mind you, and the weather has been very hot, one of the eggs I cracked...
