    I think someone stole my turkey

    Oh my goodness! I'm glad that she can fly to the rooftops for safety!!! When you get the next sighting maybe you can take along one of her friends to call her in or take a turkey call with you. God bless you both!!!

    turkey breeding

    Tony 822430 This spring I had success breeding my Heritage BS Tom with a BBB female, but not without some intervention on my part. The hen was really annoyed because no matter how many times she displayed for the toms and they tried, they just couldn't get the job done. I became quite worried...

    Ended Official BYC Contest—Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures—Fall/Winter 2013

    Poor little girl with no tail [/IMG] What she looked like before molt. She was getting ready to defend her rank. Notice in the first single pick that she has a nice beard length this season. She's almost three yrs old.

    Ended Official BYC Contest—Post Your Best (Worst) Chicken Molt Pictures—Fall/Winter 2013

    I realize the contest is for chickens but I just had to share what happened overnight to my BS girl Sweet Sarah! I was shocked! None of our turkeys have ever molted like this before!

    Getting two baby turkeys

    Yes, TSC sells both, and they do have the fine granite. Get the crumbles.

Mine won't eat cracked corn for some...

    In Kansas City I have a royal palm hen that only takes a couple of months off her egg laying duty and continues to have a "good time" entertaining the toms too (if you know what I mean)!. She molted last year in Dec. and was happy as a clam in her cute quilted butterfly winged turkey saddle from...

    help me identify and sex this turkey/turkeys

    They can fool you until they develop enough to be certain of the sex. I have a three yr old black Spanish hen with a nice beard that struts, gobbles, fights like a Tom and of course...lays lots of eggs. She also likes hanging out with the "boys" like she's a wanna-be...lol! She is also a pretty...

    Getting two baby turkeys

    I always use a high protein game starter. They need it to develop strong legs and bones to hold their weight. As poults I also sprinkle in the tiny granite. You might also consider the vaccine for pox that must be given when they are poults. View the threads on dry pox and wet pox, it's been...

    turkey fights

    To Kate+chicks, Just to let you know not to be surprised about your Jennie still laying. I have a girl that only stops about 6 weeks a year and continually mates during all her egg laying time. I just figure that she only stops so she can molt and get a better winter coat as all the mating gives...
