Oh ok, thank you for the help! This is my first time raising turkeys.

Hello turkey-loving people! Can someone please tell me if there’s a way to differentiate the sex of these two turkey poults? They are the Black Spanish variety and they are six weeks old today. Edit: The one in the first photo struts on a regular basis, while the second turkey I observed...

Hey guys I just wanted to say if you’re not raising your own mealworms yet, get started already! I wanted to share this video of us getting a shipment of 10,000 mealworms from Rainbow Mealworms. I’m not being paid for this I just wanted to talk up this website because I am really happy with...
