    Can I feed BB Turkeys chicken grower feed at 8 weeks and beyond?

    Forgive me but I’m super confused about how to feed these things 🤣 So go start I got purina gamebird starter. I’m supposed to feed that from 0-8 weeks. Then what comes next? I see all the optimal proteins and nutrients but nothing online or in tractor supply that matches this. Can you (or...

    Can I feed BB Turkeys chicken grower feed at 8 weeks and beyond?

    I am getting my poults this week and purchased some game bird starter feed for their first 8 weeks. That is 30% protein. I noticed that most feed for after 8 weeks is around 18-20% protein. I have some starter/grower chicken feed from Kalmbach that is 20% protein crumbles and Im wondering if I...

    Getting started with Meat Turkeys

    Thank you! Cackle seems to allow small orders. I was thinking 4-5? What do they sleep on if not roosts?

    Getting started with Meat Turkeys

    Hello! Chicken lady here looking to grow some turkeys to harvest. I have what I call the "maternity ward" section of my chicken run which is an 8x8 covered area that I usually use as a grow out pen or for a hatching broody. It's empty now and id like to raise some turkeys in there to harvest for...

    Black Widows in the Coop

    I think they can eat them but mine refuse. I once killed one and it fell to the floor. They all inspected but turned away.

    Black Widows in the Coop

    I find black widows in my coop often and have never had an issue with my chicken's health in that sense. I dont think they are aggressive spiders, more if you grab them.

    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    Thanks for your insight! Do you throw eggs away after treating this way?

    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    Thank you so much. I’m curious how often members in warm climates deworm and what they rotate with. @dawg53 @coach723 I would love to hear from you about this! What’s your process?

    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    Follow up questions: My Pullets have never been in the main run but their space is attached to the run. Do I need to treat them as well? Is it likely they contracted the worms somehow? And if so, my neighbor who has his chickens in a run just over the fence from me (about 30 feet away) was...

    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    Thank you! I think the safeguard aquasol is most practical for me. I can’t catch and medicate my whole flock every day for 5 days. Am I able to eat the eggs during the treatment period?

    Worms in poop (warning, poop photo)

    My Black copper Maran has been missing feathers on her entire neck and butt for a long time now. At first I thought it was molting but they just aren't growing back. Today while I was in the run I noticed her bottom looked REALLY bad. Way worse than it has (and I check often). When she pooped...

    Hen with chicks already squatting?

    Where are the babies when she’s laying? That’s a busy mom!

    How long did it take?

    Mine was completely over her mom role by 4 weeks and was ready to lay eggs again.
