    Turkey is hatching first clutch in January

    Thank you. She is separated except the male partner has access. He only hours to to her at night. Should I be concerned about him and block his access. I have placed a watering and food source for the babies up in the coop.

    Turkey is hatching first clutch in January

    I have a ten month old pair of Black Spanish heritage turkeys. She has been setting a nest of eggs and to my surprise, they began hatching today, middle of January. My question is whether momma will be able to keep them warm enough underneath her. Temperatures are 40-50 during the day and 30s...

    Help with 2 day old Muscovy that has imprinted

    Thank you for your reply. I'm trying one last thing. I went out and got one of the other chicks and put them together in the brooder. I'm hoping they will bond and I can return both to momma. He's only 3 days old now so hopefully he has a chance to change things. I've never ran into this...

    Muscovy duck hatchlings

    Two months ago we inherited three muscovies. Turns out two females and one male. Within 30 days we had a nest of eggs and momma sitting. She hatched 13. In the end one was abandoned that couldn't get out of the Shell. I helped it finally and momma wouldn't take it. So I brought it in under a...

    Can you keep a broad breasted turkey as a pet?

    We have two females that will be 3 in a couple months. The do free range in the day, but have food readily in the coop. They live with the chickens. I love them to death, but they are eating all the chicken eggs. I really don't have a way to seperate them, and I keep thinking any time now they...

    What "stage 2" cage do you use before the chicken coop?

    We built what we call our chick U.. having fostered preemie babies from the NICU we found the term CHICK U to be appropriate. Under our raised coop we completely closed the the outer sides with the wood covering the upper coop. Then we made a chicken wire door the width of the coop. It's...
