My 3 turkeys go through about a 5 gallon bucket of FF a week with help from my 30 laying hens. I also give them crumbles free choice.

I'm in the Washington DC area.

My problem is a little different incubation issue... The only incubator I have is broody hens. My hens have a clutch of nearly 20 eggs and don't seem interested in going broody. Should I remove the eggs and let them start from scratch or give them another day or two before I give up and start...

Anyone know what time heritage turkeys typically start to lay in Maryland? It's my first spring with turkeys and I'm getting impatient. I'm hoping they don't have a hidden nest or two that I'm not finding.

Does anyone have tips on integrating new adult birds with my flock? I'll be replacing my tom with a new tom and hen.

Turkeys are giving me fits the last little bit. My tom appears to be on the mend, but my hen has decided, after months of peaceful coexhistence on free range, that she needs to eliminate my pullets. She killed one, but until this morning I thought it was a hawk attack. Then I saw her...

My tom injured his leg about a week ago when he tried to land on my goat fence. After untangling his leg, we disinfected and wrapped it. Despite this he appears to have developed an infection and/or swelling. Any suggestions on how to treat this, shy of making him dinner?

As I get ready to go into my second year as a turkey farmer I am curious at to peoples opinions of how many turkeys is best to have a self perpetuating flock? Beyond jut sheer numbers of birds, what are ideal tom to hen ratios? My only expereince as far as this goes if from my observations...
