Okay so earlier this year one of my mixed bantam hens went broody and hatched 4 little chicks. They are about 2 months old now and three of the four have all of their feathers for the most part, excluding some tail feathers. The other...

I don't believe that they need to be free ranged but I believe the turkeys prefer it. ;D They love to eat whatever greens they can find. I don't see how an area that isn't cleared would be a problem. You might have birds roosting in...

I have yet to meet a mean turkey. But like others above me have already stated they can be mean just like any other animal.   Ours are very sweet and love people. They are much more friendly than our chickens. =3 They are also...

Right now I have some cross breed poults and I'm excited to see how they turn out.     Their father is one of our two Narragansett toms. The hen is a Blue Palm. You can see how they look a bit different from each...

I can't be certain as to what would cause the crustiness of the eyes, but I know there are other bird fanciers that would be happy to answer your questions if you message them.   As far as getting them to eat and drink goes,...

My BR tom did the same thing a few days ago. I was a bit concerned and considered posting on here about it but didn't have the time. Thankfully after a few days he was fine again though, he was gobbling and strutting today finally. I...
