About a month ago, I bought RP or RP mix turkeys. I think (hope!) I can tell that I have a tom and a hen. Also, do they look more purebred now? I think when I got them, they were just muddy.
Day 1:
Present Day:
The tom also has this mohawk of feathers down his back, similar to the...
I have Buckeye eggs for sale here in WV! I could ship them to you and they'd probably arrive in 2 days or so. I could sell a dozen for $25 with shipping included. PM me for pics or with questions!

Starting bid is $20 with shipping included.
I want to ship these by NOON tomorrow, so they arrive to you by Saturday. Please make sure that you can pay via...
Awesome story!
I would rather my birds not disappear for long periods of time, but I'm glad to know that it can all work out OK if they do. I'm going to try my hardest to keep them here on the property, just in case I don't want any accidents! lol
I believe I do have a tom and a hen from my 2 RP mixes. I'm very happy about that! But I'm worried that the wild turkeys that I see here will interfere with breeding.
What would the poult of a wild x domestic turkey be like? Would it act much differently than a domestic breed? Does the wild...
I just PMed you. Disregard that one
I meant for it to be an auction, but with the way it's worded, it does sound like a buy it now. Sorry about that. Forgot you could do BIY's. Anyway, I'll sell them to you for $20 right now then.
Next time I'll try not to have a blonde moment!
I'll PM you...
12 Buckeye Hatching Eggs!
$20 total with shipping included. Can ship tomorrow (Monday). All eggs are under 3 days old right now. I have a great hatch rate under my broodies and have not lost any chicks. They're healthy, lively, and loud!
Once they leave my hands, I cannot guarantee that...
Erin, you mentioned this to me at the last swap. Are you sure it's OK to set up a booth for my soap in the sales area? I looked at the vendor form and it looked like it was only for selling birds. Please let me know. Thanks!!
I wanted to get the birds some treats from the store, and I stumbled across Hot Pepper Suet. Figured this may taste yummy and also help to fight against Blackhead. Is this OK to give the turkeys? I know chickens can eat almost anything, and I'm hoping turkeys are similar. Do you give your birds...
Turkey newbie here. Don't want to hijack the threat, but I think this is a relevant question...
At what age do you see aggression? Is there any "safe" age at which a nice turkey will probably remain that way?
You may have to wait till next Christmas or Thanksgiving to eat it. It won't be nearly large enough to eat in only 3 months.
Do you know what breed they are? Some will get much bigger than others!
I understand about the 30 day quarantine period, though this week's weather made it almost impossible. I could keep them segregated in a leaky, flooded basement coop, or just take my chances and let them mingle. All birds were health checked before going to the swap, so I just had to do what I...
I free range mine. I've only had them a short while, but they act just like the chickens. Usually they are some of the first birds to greet me as I pull in the driveway.
