    Cold?

    Do the broad breasted turkeys become affected by the cold? Do they stop growing as fast, do they need to go inside? Mine have a shelter but never go into it, last night it was rainy and 39 degrees out and they still stayed out on the lawn instead of going under shelter. Thanks I tried do some...

    How Big?

    Thank you they’re doing good so far, couple of almost bad moments as they got used to what they could / could not do. Not sure which way to run...

    Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey. Rant.

    My Broad Breasted turkeys are cool! I really mean that. They will be by far the hardest animal I will have to butcher! And only after 5 months, I can't imagine having the personalities around for a year or two as in the heritage breeds in order to get a bird to butcher weight and then...

    How Big?

    I have a few BB Bronze and BB White Turkeys, I'm wondering at what size will they be unable to fly? They are about 18 weeks old and all around 25 to 30 lbs. I have moved them from a 10 x 10 tractor to a 1500 square foot fenced area 4' high with electric poultry net. Just nervous wondering if...

    Sick turkeys help if you've seen this.

    Great info, thank you all! I’ve since given safeguard only. I dosed according to their weight scale on the product. They have all become more lively and the “sick” one is now fine. There never was a respiratory infection so once the stool formed and the yellow ness went away they’ve been getting...

    Sick turkeys help if you've seen this.

    Thanks will try the meds. Looked up some of the pics on the web and may be that. I had one that got better and is now fine. Any problems eating the birds after meds or if I decide to cull early if they are looking tired?

    Sick turkeys help if you've seen this.

    Just wanted to touch base here, I had 9 broad breasted turkeys and am now at 7, they are 11 weeks old but recently (over the last 4 weeks) I notice that a single turkey will all of a sudden start pooping bright yellow like egg yolk and runny. Next that turkey will just stand still off by himself...

    Poor Cockerel

    Thank you, Never even thought of betadine or hibaclense, he has actually started walking around again and I saw him moving his toes, so i'm hopeful he will be ok, keeping the heat on for him so its close to 40 in his section of the coop today. I'm trying not to bring him in as i have no...

    Poor Cockerel

    The neosporin worked well on the comb and wattles, they are ok the foot thawed out and he seems ok-ish, he’s definitely not happy anymore, his foot is twice the size of the other and blisters on both feet, is there anything to give him so as to not worry about infection? I assume this is like...

    2-3 week old chick pooing blood...

    Timeline seems right, I dealt with this over the summer and the corrid does help in a hurry, now I keep some on hand.

    Poor Cockerel

    I thought of this but think it would be too quick, its about 28 F in the coop and now that its closed up it will come up to a bout 34 or 35 F, I was thinking of letting him stay with the others as hes the biggest in the new birds and they always huddle together at night so it will slowly come...
