I’m not really sure what kind of turkey she is, I just got her about a week ago from a family friend, and he isn’t sure what she is either.
Thank you, I will try to work with her more and more on exercising and getting her out. I will also start treating for leg mites as soon as I can, I’m...

So I’m getting baby chicks within the next week and I was wondering if I could just use some tied chicken string as an Id until they got big enough for the adult band. I want to be able to tell which chicken is which, but I don’t want to have to buy different sized bands for my babies, could I...
