I just got my first set of broad-breasted white turkeys. They were straight-run from the local farm store. I have never had turkeys before but we have other kinds of birds on our homestead. I think it is too early to know if they are male or female, but I have noticed them doing some weird...

My female white breasted turkey is now about 8-9 months. Have had since hatchlings. This particular one has been my favorite, very friendly and social. Randomly the past week has been attacking me everytime I go near them. It is only her and another female. Her littermate then pecks at her when...

Hello all. Long time lurking first time posting. So I've had a Royal palm pair since December a Christmas gift from my mom. Since its laying season I decided to get more hens so when my RP hen went broody Tom wouldn't be lonely. I found 3 bronze ladies. I pinned them up 3 days with RP pair...

I'm just throwing this out here to increase the amount of information out there for folks considering keeping turkeys and chickens together. Last spring (March 2020) we got 6 different chickens, all different breeds and 2 turkeys, one Narraganset and one local mutt. The local turkey got killed...

The babies are around 5 months and at first we thought it was the young males trying to establish a pecking order but then noticed they were all going after an old female. Not sure if turkeys try to kill off older turkeys as an evolutionary thing? Thanks for any info!

Howdy folks, My family has owned our turkey for a few years now, and she's grown very attached to people. She loves kids, curious about strangers, and follows us around the yard as we do work. In the spring she gets very antsy about our neighbors if they're outside and will run to greet them as...

Hi, We are raising two turkeys (unsure of sex just yet...most likely female) who were born early April. They've just now started to fight (assuming hormones are kicking in)...serious pecks to each others' heads and waddles which leave open wounds. Any tips on stopping this before they...
