The eggs are blue, cream and white

Some of the eggs are a light blue and some a cream color and white.

When I bought my house there were these small chickens and roosters. All of these came from 4 of the original roos and hens. They lay eggs the size of quail eggs. They are sweet birds and I have 1 hen left from the original birds. She is an awesome broody. She fits in my hand that’s how tiny...

I was successful with my Turkey. I googled about the worm that causes blackhead and found the antibiotic that worked. It’s Safegard dewormer. I found it at TSC, I gave him 1cc for 3 days by dropper and gave him droppers of electrolytes day 2 the poop was almost normal and he was drinking the...

Thank you for your post. I have been dealing with my sick turkey for 5 days now. I have dropper dosing him with a mixture of corid, oregano Purina electrolytes, as well as DE and ginger in the water. He is hanging on spots of yellow dropping's. He perched last night and had a massive yellow...

Thanks. I tried to see the egg but my hen has it under her chest puffed up. She keeps clucking every so often. Just a bit ago she puffed up at me did a cluck and click.

Help with a Broody Turkey hen: I have a Turkey hen sitting on an egg for almost 28 days. She started laying around May 2nd. All the other eggs for infertile. I candled the remaining egg last week, I could not see anything the egg was to dark. I did notice the egg was heavy toward the small...

I have a red bourbon male he has been trying to mount my female Narrengsett several times. She lays down for him but he taps his foot on her wing, I can't tell if he is successful at it. He has tried twice and she went to perch away from him. Do turkeys instinctively know how to breed ? He is 3...

I have the same-thing with one of my hens. My Red Bourbon Tom does not even notice her. She follows me all over when I do chores then sits near me.

The other day my Red bourbon tried to mate with my Narragansett female she laid down for him, he got on her back but it looked like he could not reach her cloaca. Do they know what to do or do they learn from other Male turkeys? He also chases my new Broad breasted female all over the pasture...

Yes I did that today. I think my Timmy red is not so sharp. He got on top of my hen stood their but the hen did not lift her tail. Timmy just stepped all over her back.

How can I undo what the last owner did in imprinting on them? I just ignored her today and put her with my Tom and the older female for a few hours.

I thought that’s what she was doing. She was owned by an older lady with grandchildren that handled them. They had a very small enclosure with 12 of them together. She loves to be handled I am not picking her up I let her follow me around while I do chores. I have her friend she was raised...
