I have a 1.5 year old Royal Palm tom. He is the only turkey, and he lives with my small flock of chickens. I've had 3 hens die over the last few months. 2 of them looked like they could have be trampled. The most recent one was a few days ago. Another thing i noticed, which confused me, my...
Does anyone in NJ or NEPA have a turkey they are trying to rehome? I just lost one of my 2 turkeys and now my other turkey is going crazy looking for the one that died.
I have about a 2 month old BBB turkey, he is in a 25 x 20 area separate from my chickens. I want to be able to let him free range with the chickens when I let them out, but I'm worried that he may not come back to his area like the chickens go back to their coop at night. Does anyone have any...
So i just had a broody hatch out 6 chicks with one egg remaining, and another broody sitting on 3. All eggs were all placed at the same time. The 3 under my one hen aren't showing any signs of hatching. I have never candled them, so i don't know if there was ever development. I will over the...
I just went home for lunch and 2 are starting! One is just a little hole and the other looks like it should have been out, but the membrane is still together. I can hear that one chirping too.

So here's the story, I had an EE go broody around 2 months ago. Then a few weeks ago i had another hen go broody. They were both trying to lay in the same spot, so i moved one over about a foot away. So they are right next to each other with nothing separating them. I went out and picked up...
So i bought 6 chicks ftom TSC back in March hoping for the best and that they will all be hens. Im pretty sure i have at least 3 boys. I have 2 Buffs, 2 silkies and 2 red rockets. I believeboth reds and one buff are boys. And i cant tell with the silkies.
I want the Buff to be a male, but i...
I live in NJ and winter came back. The nights are going into the 20s at times. Im afraid to put them outside because im not sure if they are ready to go out. They are approximately 6 weeks old. Im more so concerned about the silkies. I've never had chicks before, but a month in the house is...
