tom

I got 6 turkey chicks from tractor supply and we think that there are 3 toms and 3 hens. is that a good ratio? They will be free-range turkeys.

Just got some turkeys from my neighbour's. She said 3 hens and a Tom but the Tom is really odd so I am hoping maybe someone knows what's up. He is about 3 years old, ridley heritage x. He walks very upright never puffed up, drums, gobbles or shows any interest in ladies. He is smaller than any...

I found our 7 year old Tom in the barn with his leg bent completely backwards. No swelling. What’s the best way to splint or fix? Is he too old to try and treat? Most of the info I have found is on chicks not a grown turkey.

Hello! I have a tom and a hen and I am new to raising turkeys so far. I raised my turkeys with 2 chickens from babies. Now the issue is my tom is sounding a bit wheezy, burpy, and I swear I even heard him fart a few times, i tried to feel his crop and it just feels full of air, his appetite is...

I have this sweetgrass that I’m still not sure if a Jake or hen. I have two and the other just started laying eggs two days ago. So exciting! I would like to figure out the sex of this one so I know if I have fertile eggs or not. No gobbling yet. But a good beard coming in. Totally...

14 turkey eggs incubating. So over the moon excited. Not sure if they will be broad breasted bronze BBB or burbon red crosses. Our hen "Jenny" is Broad breasted bronze. One week in, our first turkey eggs ever... 28 days of waiting is S00🥚🥚🥚 L0NG🦃

I have a Bourbon Red Tom that's pushing two-years-old. I noticed a while back that his tail feathers were breaking off. This does not appear to be regular molting. He's the only Tom in the coop and there are only a small number of much smaller roosters. I'm at a loss for what's causing it...

I’m very confused right now. I was loving up on my tom turkey and he smelled pretty bad. Not like poop or anything but a sickly smell. My chickens all smell perfectly fine, it’s just him. He acts normal and isn’t sick or anything but he smells very bad. Is there maybe an illness that I can’t...

Hi there! So, soon i will be getting some Narragansett turkey poults. I have kept turkeys once before, but ended up having to sell them as we were in the city and they were spending more time running around the neighborhood than in our yard. FINALLY we have 25 acres in a rural area, and I am...

(This is not an ad. I'm looking for advice) I have a royal palm tom who I'm thinking of selling. He looks a bit rough right now cause he's been fighting with my other boys, but he's a nice bird. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what a breeding age royal palm tom is worth, please?

I just bought my first tom thats about 1-2 years old. iv had him close to a week and yet to see him strut or hear him gobble. hes very skiddish and even backs down from my hens when they chase after him. how long does it usually take for turkeys to “warm up” and begin to strut and gobble in...

I have been wanting turkeys forever and especially since I had to give away my guineas because they started bothering the neighbors after 4 years of staying in our yard, darn things, (released them at a friend's drive-thru safari though :)) So I finally bought 1 tom (jake?) and 1 hen from a...

I have seen people who have success with crow collars on roosters. I am wondering if it would work on a tom turkey to keep gobbling to a minimum. We have a 1/3 acre lot with neighbors on both sides and behind us. I have 4 turkeys growing out right now. I would like to keep a tom if I could to...

I have two Bronze turkeys, a tom and a hen, 2 1/2 months old, I got chickens at the same time, and have raised them all together and they have all gotten along quite famously! I was thrilled with how social they all were until yesterday. My Tom started first by pecking one of my chickens, not...
