Everytime I put water in my turkey's plate he flips the plate and the water spills
He has always done this and I do not know why. At first I thought because he was clumsy but now he does it every time. When the water gets on the dirt he spreads it with his claws.- Lob21

Smushed eggs in nest
@R2elk The tom has little access, I'll double check to see if he tries to mate with her but also she has been nesting there for a few weeks now without problems. Thank you for the information! I will make sure to look out for that. -
Smushed eggs in nest
My turkey is nesting and she comes out once a day to eat. When she was out decided to look if she layed any more. She had sixteen and there was thirteen. I found two eggs caved in and today another one was caved in. I would not know what is causing this. -
If an egg is lost will the turkey hen try to find it?
@nchls school I live in Texas! So it is nighttime now and I had the urge to go outside and check on the eggs. There was one broken outside the "nest" and my dad found one hidden underneath the hay so now we have 1 official viable egg but 2 physical ones. We think she laid the one in the nest a...- Lob21

@nchls school oh ok nice, so how does she act when she needs to lay an egg? I think my hen might have been looking for a spot to lay then.- Lob21

So I had 2 eggs yesterday and now there is one. I'm thinking a racoon or snake might have taken it. My hen looks like shes looking for something. I can attach a picture. She is pacing back and forth against the wall and sometimes laying down.- Lob21

My hen layed 2 eggs, what are our first steps?
Hi guys so I have a few questions. My hen just layed 2 eggs, probably on two separate days, do we let her stay lay on the eggs or should we take them inside and take care of them there? This is my first experience. What do you guys usually do? And if you would can you send pictures of your coops... -

How to prevent racoons and other animals from getting to turkey eggs.
Since I'm here I might as well ask this question too. My turkeys have been mating and I think my hen will have turkey babies soon! I was wondering how to keep her and the eggs safe. Their cage is made out of wood and has 2 sections, the outside one with wire roof and the "inside" one with wooden... -
How to prevent my turkeys from going to neighbor's yards and down the road
I've had my turkeys(I have 2) for a little over a year now but the one problem I've always had with them is that they always go to my neighbor's yard. I always have to stay outside with them and watch them to make sure that they don't go anywhere. My neighbor has chickens and I think that is... -
