Blueberrie
Hatching
I have two chickens right now and then adopted 3 turkeys at 3 weeks old. they live together in the same pen. ( they have lots of room) I went on vacation for 2weeks and a friend took care of them all. When I got back my polish chicken had no more feathers on her neck and barely any left on her once beautiful poofy head. Now I see my other chicken is starting to get get some wear on her back feathers. My turkeys are about 4and half months now. This has been a learning experience for sure, especially on figuring out their sex. I am convinced my blue slate is a tom. Is it possible the turkeys are trying to practice on the chickens? And if so, will they possibly kill them when they mature? I was going to replace the chicken I lost to age, but I don't want to put another in and have this happen to her. ;(
