Thank you to all who replied. And yes it was quite the show. First I took her off the eggs to which she replied with a very loud objection. I swore she was hiding a cat under her by the way she seemed to be growling. She hissed, cackled, then stomped her little chicken feet, clutched an egg...

I usually do a DE dusting once a month in all of their living quarters. This time I did the 7 Dust while they were out doing their normal thing.....getting into everything they can find. I must have made my one broody girl made when I stole her eggs. She pranced over to the egg bucket and...

Thank you. I feel better knowing that I'm doing everything right. I also did a worm treatment. They've also all been dusted. There living quarters have been dusted. So the only thing left would be to treat with an antibiotic. After that, I'll just call them bare butts! hehehe

I've been watching and haven't seen this. Thank you for the reply

Hi Everyone, I need some help. I am not good with all the fancy chicken terms, so I hope I am clear enough. I thought my hens were in their molting season but I'm not so sure. I live in Sunny South Florida. It's been a bit rainy but not horrible yet and no flooding. They are just a...

Oh my Feathyr! I'm soooo sorry. When I got my first two turkeys, I had a bad experience. And I was devastated. I am still very new and bought two more a few weeks later. Since I am so new, I am afraid to offer any advice. I had no idea what the heck I was doing until I got on this website and...

Hi Everyone~ Its been a few weeks since I've been by to see the goings on. I'm a first time turkey owner and well.....my turkeys are hilarious! Love them! For sure have a male/female. I had the privilege of seeing Johnny fan his tail feathers and dance around his lil gal, June. And oh my he...

Well, I'm really believing I have a male/female at this point. I took another good look today. I know they are still young. However, I noticed that one of them has white barring on the wing feathers and the wing feathers seem longer. The middle toe looks much longer on the one versus the other...

Hi Everyone, I am newbie to owning Turkeys. I'm not new to small farm life, just these darn turkeys. I bought 2 Royal Palm's several weeks back. They died within 48 hours. I think there were multiple reasons for it but either way I wasn't going to try again. Then I went to the feed store for...

Thank you, Mountain Peeps, and yes those are my new turkeys in the avatar. Thank you, nj2wv! Thank you, sunflour! I'm always open for comments and suggestions, as this is my first experience with turkeys. I'm thinking based on the things I have read that they are male/female. I originally...

Hi Everyone, I'm Mama Bear. Our family raised chickens several years back and had a great time. We decided to do it again. We have 8 Rhode Islands, all hens. I decided to try my luck with turkey's as well. I bought two Royal Palms and they died within 48 hours. I decided to give it one more...
