I had a turkey hen recently hatch some new poults. They are black Spanish turkeys, full breed. I also have a couple of ducks and about 10 chickens and 1 rooster. I have plenty of room for them to be free range and have a coop for them to sleep in at night, altogether. I separated momma and...

I think that may be a good option right now. I don't want the others to suffer either and they seem to do much better with him separated now. But I will try that, and I have chickens as well but I will be putting them in a different area in my front yard so they can explore a bit, and not risk...

I have 4 turkey poults left from my original 6. All of them seemed to be doing fine until I seen one who seemed different and not as playful. I checked him out and let him hang around outside his brooder, still inside my home, and he was perfectly fine then. A couple days later I came home and...

Aww! I wish I would've known before, but I guess I didn't research as much as I should've! This was my first time ever ordering any chicks or anything like that online. I will definitely have to look at their site. I've seen the Narragansett turkeys, they look beautiful!

Oh how sweet!! I think that's what I may do next year. Or try to find a hatchery closer to me in Texas so the trip will be much quicker. I'm also hoping I could find some locally. My chicks and older chickens I got from tractor supply here in town, so they are doing just fine. But they never...

I will for sure. I hope they will be fine thank you

He passed away very early this morning, but everything seemed fine. He was still pooping regularly and kept giving him the electrolyte water. I guess he just couldn't keep fighting anymore:( poor little guy, but I'm thinking it could've been shipping stress seeing as they was nothing else...

He passed away very early this morning:( I inspected his body afterwards but didn't find anything concerning? His poop was normal, he didn't have a runny nose, eye discharge or anything. He was thin but I didn't see anything else it could be. I posted in another forum and was told it may have...

I had ordered a barnyard special from Mcmurry, and received 10 ducks and 6 turkeys. I didn't know what breed they were until I got them and they're black Spanish turkeys. They are too cute, and surprisingly quiet. I wanted a variety, but my mother had been wanting ducks, they're her favorite, so...

I know they definitely stole my heart right away. I just feel like they are like children. It just saddens me but I hope the rest will be okay!

I know, I didn't know they were this fragile. I've had chicks and ducks many times and they've always done great. But I still love the turkeys though. He didn't make it last night :( but I hope the rest of the flock will be thriving and make it to adulthood:)

Please help me! He is gasping for air and have been mouth feeding him water with vitamins and electrolytes. He seemed fine earlier in the day but when I got home he seemed down again. I think it may be stress from shipping, they are about 6 days old. I have already lost one. He's not peeping, he...

i have a group of six turkey poults that are a week old now. I have had one that passed away on the third day, with no noticeable problems. I believe it may have been stress from the shipping. I had moved them in with my chicks for the first couple of days. I moved them inside and separated them...
