Two weeks ago I bought 7 tiny turkeys. There were 4 bronze and 3 white. They're all in a cage in the family room with a light on them. They have water and starter feed and clean chopped straw. Last Friday, one of the bronzes started acting very anti-social, he had droopy wings and was always...
Last summer I bought 3 poults (I couldn't resist!) and they all turned out to be Toms! The one was really mean and always beating the other two up so he's found another home. My two toms are great fun and good buddies but they gobble ALL-THE-TIME. I've been looking high and low for some hens...
I have 3 eight week old turkeys that are currently in a big cage in my house. Now that they're bigger, I've been taking them outside for field trips while I watch over them. I assumed they were all hens, but you never know, right?

Hi, I just adopted a small flock of ducks. We think we've got the breeds figured out except these two. My daughter thinks they might be Welsh Harlequin, could that be right?
Thanks!!!
