    Thank you so much for the response! I am VERY new to turkeys. Can I keep her in with the Tom she has come attached to? Or separate them completely? They are 16 weeks....Do they start to breed that young?

    Maybe. Why call them pullet vs hen. Is hen referring to a female chicken older than a year?

    9 CROWING HENS!!!!

    I’ve always had cockerels very well defined by 16 weeks. We got all of our chickens as chicks right from the delivery truck. The two white ones were crowing and frills very well defined by 12 weeks. So Are the others cockerels that are under developed or could they be over developed hens?

    Not that I am aware of. I have wondered if them being around their turkey siblings may be stressing them out. But they were all raised together. Other than that I cannot think of anything else that could be possibly stressing them.

    9 CROWING HENS!!!!

    ALL OF THEM ARE TRYING TO CROW! Is this normal? I have never had a whole flock of hens trying to crow. We have two beautiful roosters that crow enough. Any suggestions?
