    Gender?

    Thank you. And thanks for The explanation on color. I was going on what the seller said they were as poults. These are my first turkeys so still learning.

    Gender?

    This is my 6 month old Red Burboun. I had been thinking it was a hen, but was just being very aggressive to my Bronze that I am sure is a male. Any insight is appreciated. Also wondering on this bronze naggaraset. The other 2 have larger/longer snoods, deeper color to head and green in tails...

    Who done it?

    This link may be helpful. From this looks like a raccoon is the likely culprit. http://www.welphatchery.com/predator_diagnosis?mobile=1

    Raising Baby Chick-Along

    Wish I had other options, but no hatcheries around us so mail order it is. Feel so bad for them being shipped, but so far the rest look good and are active, eating, and drinking.

    Raising Baby Chick-Along

    Just got my box of babies from Meyer Hatchery this morning! 10 Standard Buff Brahma hens, 5 roosters, 10 Mille Fleur Bearded Belgium bantams, and the MMMF (which looks to be a Rhode Island Red). 2 Mille Fleur were DOA and 1 other wont make it. I think the bantams were just too small and got...

    I would check with Pinkerton or Core in Minot. Was told at one time theyd be a best option if I ever needed for my budgies and/or son's dragon. Luckily we haven't needed any help with them yet though.
