Turkeys do get along well with chickens and most other fowl. Toms can be quite loud during mating season (early spring) and at times when they are disturbed by unusual sights and noises. Both hens and toms probably would be quite a bit nosier than your chicken hens. I don't think I would...

If they strut and display they are most likely Jakes (young toms) Seldom do these birds get aggressive, except for mating season, and not then all the time. Sounds like you just have a couple of young show offs. Turkeys are fun birds to raise, you'll, love them.

You may want to consider some type of ornamental pheasant Silver, Red Golden or Lady Amherst) They are much less flighty, just as easy to raise, much more beautiful, and not much more expensive. Also no state or federal permit is required. Good Luck

I have a 3 year old male Eastern Wild that has developed a bloting in his stomach area. He also has periods of kind of like hickups. He eats drinks and other wise acts normal. Sure would appreciate any info on this condition.

The simple solution to prevent escaping birds is to construct a sallyport around the entrance to you pen. Just a small simple area that is fenced in with its own door or gate. You enter the sallyport, shut the gate behind you before opening the door to the pen. If the bird should happen to...

I fully agree with Tony. Different methods work best for different folks but I have never used to "Lock-Down" system. I use the same temp and humidity all the way through and turn 3 or 4 times daily. In 16 years of raising game birds its worked well for me. Good Luck Amigo

Its not just the fact that these birds can be reasonably tamed, it has more to do with their natural instinct to avoid danger. No matter how tame any pheasant may seem if frightened it is only natural for all of them to get as far away from whatever or whoever spooked them and to do it as fast...

I have plenty of Chukar eggs available. I can ship 1 or 1000 and they are very simple to hatch and raise. If I can help just PM me.

Your best and probably only chance would be Silver Pheasants. And even those would have to be very accustomed to their home. Silvers are not as flighty as the other breeds but it would be a gambel and the first time they got spooked they would be gone.

Turkeys handle cold very well. They can also handle wet weather very well. But, the cold and wet combined will quickly kill them. No where in AZ will it ever get too cold for turkeys (much better than our 120 degree summers)

Eastern Wilds would not have any white tipped feathers on the body or tail. Could be a hybrid. Whatever he is he's a beautiful bird. Like you guineas and your little turkey herder too.

You certainly have beautiful birds Tayten. Are they housed together or separately ? A really nice looking aviary too.

A Beautiful story about a Beautiful Rooster. Roosters are kool and so are you for helping him.

I don't know where those so called scientist get their information from but it sounds like your on the right track. I have fed all my birds, chickens, ducks, pheasants, chukars, turkeys and quail Purena Game Bird Startina (28%) protein as long as I have been raising birds, about 18 years. And I...

Does anyone have any experience with Red Golden x Lady Amherst mix birds. I don't mix my birds but somehow ended up with a mixed male I purchased in 2013. I have someone interested in him (he is a beautiful bird) but I don't know if he would be fertile or sterile. Any help will be appreciated...

If they are Silver pheasants they will tame down well. Lady Amherst and Golden, maybe with a lot of contact. Ringnecks, no chance. They stay wild.

They are bring their leg laying (breeding season) to a close. I have 17 adult male Red Golden and Lady Amherst males and they have all lost their tails. Even my silver males are starting to molt now. Don't worry it will come back in the fall.

STOP the earth worm feeding. Earth worms carry a disease that domestic birds are immune to but is often fatal to wild birds (quail, pheasants, turkeys) Get him some game bird starter or any feed with at least 22 % protein. He should grow up to be a spoiled little rascal if properly cared for.
