    4-H Poultry

    Hi, I am wondering if anyone else out there is in charge of their Poultry Barn during the fair? A friend of mine and I are in charge of the Poultry Barn (She's Open Class & I'm 4-H). In the past, we have had a "chicken thief" come through our poultry barn and steal birds from the 4-H...

    Keeping a broad-breasted bronze turkey as a pet

    Old Fashioned Broody Hen Hatch A Long and Informational Thread

    I apologize if this was answered somewhere in this thread (didn't have time to read the 2700+ pages) :) I have two broody hens. The first one, Evie, had 6 original eggs under her - but I didn't realize I should mark them. Ended up with about 16 total before I isolated her from the rest of...

    sexing broad breasted bronze turkeys with updated pics......

    I have these two broad breasted bronze turkeys, they are almost 4 you months old. I think from their behavior that I have a Tom and a Hen. In the last couple of days my hen has been "talking" to the Tom in a way that totally ticks him off then they start fighting. Before this the hen only...

    Feed change with turkey poults

    Thank you both for the feedback. I was concerned because I had heard that a switch in food could cause some major problems. These birds are for my daughters 4-H project so I want to do things right. I've never raised turkeys before and am learning as we go.
