I am new to keeping Turkeys but not to having Chickens, we have 2 cockerels approx 40 hens and 21 chicks, 1 Tom, 4 Turkey hens and 8 chicks.
Our chickens lay well and have been no trouble but the Turkeys we have found to be much harder to deal with so I was glad to find this site to gather...
I am new to the site, so I hope I am posting this the right way...
We have only been keeping Turkeys since last March, we bought 2 males and 2 females.
The first batch of 8 hatched eggs 5 survived.
The problem is why do the males kill or injure the young, is this a common problem?
We sold...
