    what breed of turkey do I have

    The photo is a little bit dark, but the black ones look like a Bronze, and the white one looks like Royal Palm

    Broad Breasted Bronze went broody?

    Duck eggs are usually pretty thick shelled, wouldn't worry too much about them breaking. But yes she should hatch them.

    what breed is this?

    If they are Royal Palms, they are not purebred.

    I'm switching to a different breed, Narragansett, and was wanting to fade these out. These are the Narragansett.

    Pine Shavings or Straw

    I use just pine shavings. Works pretty well. Cedar shavings also work good to keep odors down.

    Sand ??

    DRY sand is very handy to have, easy to clean, and is very sanitary. Just stir it around everyday. Liquids do evaporate quickly in sand. Sand will clump though, if it gets excessively wet. Change it out once a month, depending on how many chicks/poults you have.

    Brooder in Finished Basement

    Yes, the dander/fluff will contaminate your basement, dust will be all over everything. We had a dehumidifier in our basement and the filter was clogged everyday after cleaning it. If you have some kind of shed, I would recommend using it.

    What do you think?

    I am raising 30 Narrangansetts this year . Some of them are around 5 months and I should say that the one you have should definitely be a female. If you have other turkeys with it, it should strut or gobble.

    Anyone else suffering from Thanksgiving Turkey stress?

    I am currently charging $5.00/pound. That could change in the next week. :(
