We have no turkens left. A neighbors dog got them last spring and only have two hens, one an Easter Egger and another a golden comet. Neither of which have gone broody- ever. We have an incubator and brooder that we used two years ago when we first hatched our turkens.
Yes! As long as they're hatchable(fertilized) and Turkens. 😊 Most places are wanting $50+ for a dozen Turken eggs. We are wanting to add to our flock this year and turkens have always been the friendliest. If close enough, we can pick up.
To update on this.
We had 8 Turkens, 1 Salmon Faverolles and 1 Sebright Bantam hatch from those 22.
We only have one Turken left after a very rough first winter, and we rehomed 5 Turkens.
Hi! I am from Southern Michigan and I had recieved 4 pullets from a family member suddenly.
All I know is that the chicks are from TSC, theyre pullets AND they were bought within the last week.
Any guesses would be great!
My Roo came to me this morning with a pretty goopy and dirty eye. I believe that's all dirt. Could it just be irritation? Only that eye is like that.
Any suggestions on how to flush it out if he just has dirt in his eye? Any advice is appreciated! Also, he was blinking mid photo, he is able to...
I need some advice and opinions.
My favorite baby chick(will be 2 weeks old on Tuesday), has a weird feeling crop. It is a Naked Neck(Turken) and the skin is very loose in that spot and soft.
Is that normal for Naked Necks, or does it have a sour crop? It also is making weird ticking noises...
UPDATE: We got the chicks, they spent yesterday outdoors in the run by themselves. The older chickens were let out to free roam. They did pretty well and huddled together once it got a bit chilly. I put them back into a cage under the heat lamp. Today it's pretty chilly AND raining. I didn't let...
Okay, so if I'm getting this correct -
Frizzle NN(Gen1) to Silkie(Parent1)
Frizzle NN(Gen2) to Silkie(Parent2)
Frizzle NN(Gen3) to Silkie(Parent3)
and repeat until desired traits (Sizzle Showgirl)
Do I have to swap out the Silkie with every generation of babies?
Also, which would be the best...
We have some Turkens we hatched last week, of the 9, one was a Frizzle.
We wanted to breed for showgirls, so we got 6 Silkies.
If we breed the Frizzle Turken with a Silkie, what would we get? (Turkens all have bowties).
Our goal is Showgirls, and Sizzle Showgirls.
How would we go about...
It has stopped doing the cheeping as often.. We got 4 other bantams for it but now the other bantams do it as well.
We turn the bedroom light off for bed, they cheep for a bit then go to bed. We don't change the water in time. Cheeping.
I was wondering if theyd do it as a way to throw a...
We are getting some chick about 5 to 6 weeks old and were wondering if they were ready to be put outside in their own coop?
The weather is rainy and windy, but temp is around low 30s at night.
Is it too cold for them?
