I have a nice breeding pair (one tom and one hen) of Black Spanish turkeys available for sale. They are approximately four months old and have been raised on a diet of high protein feed combined with regular free ranging. $40 for both.
Seriously... my toms don't seen to be interested in my hen. I have three toms that are just over 6 months old along with one hen. The toms walk around almost all day puffed up like the marshmallow man yet they seem like they could care less about the hen (and she appears to feel the same way...
I have for sale three "extra" turkeys that I'm selling to make room for more Narragansetts. One is an absolutely massive Holland White (I believe is a tom) and the other two are Black Spanish (one hen and one tom I believe). All three are 14 weeks (3.5 months) and have been on a mixed diet of...
I have one Royal Palm and three Black Spanish poults that I'm looking to sell. They are from Privett Hatchery and are almost three months old now. They are very healthy and were started with vitamin and electrolyte water and have received high protein meatbird crumbles. I also have a single...
Here are our newest turkeys! Arrived this morning.
From what I can tell here's what we have:
18 Poults from Meyer Hatchery
6 Narragansett
4 Black Spanish
2 Royal Palm (We Think)
6 Bourbon Red (We Think)
So far they seem to be doing ok and with exception of one trying to drown itself in the...
PM me if interested... I'm located in zip code 45315 (Clayton, OH)
A friend of mine was making room for a new barn and gave me most of his flock. I don't have the room to keep all of them so I'm looking to rehome some of them. I was told they are turning two years old this spring and most of...
Has anyone incubated turkey eggs (I'm looking at Narragansett or Bourbon Reds) in a brinsea mini eco advanced? I had a lot of success with hatching chicken eggs with it last year, but I'd like to use it to hatch turkey eggs this year. Would appreciate any experiences or insights from others...
I'm looking for a source of hatching eggs for a heritage breed near Dayton, OH. My Brinsea will only hold 7 eggs so shipping a full dozen isn't efficient for me. I'd also be interested in poults or a breeding trio.
I'll also take offers for shipped eggs, but would prefer local due to the...
I will be hoping to set turkey eggs once my current group of chicks hatches. I will need them shipped to me in Ohio (45315) around the second week in October. Would like to know what anyone might have available at that time. look forward to hearing from you!

In reading through the instruction manual (yes, a man that reads the manual - shocker) I read the section on the "Periodic Incubation Cooling" function of the Brinsea Mini Advance.
It is "Off" by default, but can be enabled through the Brinsea's menu. Basically it lowers the incubator temp for...
We bought our coop a month or so ago and I've been waiting for a break in the weather to paint the old, weathered plywood (fortunately it was exterior grade and NOT OSB so it has help up well, just old looking. I used a can of the "barn paint" from TSC and the wood was so dry and weathered that...
Looking forward to trying out my brand new Brinsea Mini Advance. Planning on a clutch of Columbian Rock Crosses and some others depending on what I have to work with late this week.
Anyone planning on setting this weekend?

Benefits of this design:
1 - Double-Wye makes it easy for multiple birds to feed at the same time.
2 - Only one feeder to fill for multiple feeding positions
3 - The use of the compression style test plug on the bottom and the press-in style plug on...
I've been thinking about feeding - I have sixteen chickens that all free-range all day long on our 3 acre property which is surrounded by soybean fields and features apple, mulberry and other trees as well as a pond - so the flock has a relatively limitless source of foraging foods - I currently...
I've been getting tired of my flock wasting a lot of feed so I decided to put together a simple feeder based on other designs I've seen. Here are some pictures and comments. Feedback and questions welcome...
The whole thing - it's a few feet of 3" Schedule 40 PVC along with a 3" Wye - I also...
Wanted to share my flock's new coop. Feedback and suggestions for improvements appreciated... (Flock pics at bottom)
Their original home - a mail-order coop that cost me around $200 shipped - not ideal but it was a decent starter coop and at the time our chicks were getting big fast and I was...
Here's a timeline with some background info:
Started with a happy flock of 8 chickens (5 hens and 3 roos, no "issues" - everyone healthy)
Acquired a large coop along with its flock of 12 chickens (9 hens and 3 roos)
Noticed one of the NEW hens (rhode island red, 1 year old - named her...
