I hope your turkeys get better. I had leg problems with some of mine when they were first hatched, but I've gotten some wonderful advice from here and was able to save them. I hope you'll be just as lucky!  I have a turkey that...

I emailed him at the government assigned email address and that's where the reply came from. I had heard from another neighbor that her husband is friends with some people in zoning, so I think they just tried to scare me and simply...

GOOD NEWS! I'm totally fine. And a little birdie told me that the only reason he came out was because he's friends with her husband. So maybe they were just trying to scare us. But....IN THEIR FACE! LOL Sorry for the caps, I'm just so...

Kikiriki, this is fantastic! Thank you so much! I was so upset yesterday. Now, I feel like I'll be able to at least get somewhere with all the things I found pertaining to VA and our county specifically, plus our zoning etc etc. I'm...

Long story short, the county showed up today, saying someone complained (we have a pretty good idea who it is) and said that we'd have 30 days to "get rid or dispose" of our Turkey's. The gentleman was very nice but it sounded like...

I think that 90 degrees is too cold for them. You didn't say how old they are, but I've noticed with mine, that even at 1 week old, they still seek out the really warm spot that is 99 degree's right now. It is rather rare that they...

Thank you so much for your response. I agree with that - incubating is already artificial, so helping them in that case does make sense to me. I just candled several of the other eggs that were set at the same time and 3 are dead in...
