    Determining Sex of turkey

    I have read a ton of posts about this. I really think if you post on here questioning the sex of your turkey you should come back once the turkey is of age to definitely know and say what the sex ended up being. This is a 50/50 chance that people's educated guesses are correct. It would be...

    What Egg Laying Breed do you Love the Best and Why?

    I am a meat poultry raiser and have decided to get 2-5 layers for eggs. They will be for my family's own consumption although I am sure I will have friends to give the excess to. I want to know from everyone here what breed you like and why. Do they lay sooner, lay better. Easy to maintain? Less...

    Growing too fast!

    For my son's FFA project we decided to try our hand at raising Turkeys. One problem, they ordered all the turkeys late and so we will be showing 12 week old Turkeys!!! Although it is fair as everyone will be showing at the same age. I am afraid that speeding up it's growth process will be cruel...
