    Broody White Midget Turkey sitting on fertile chicken eggs?

    From what i have been able to read, thus far.... Our Turkey will hatch the chicken eggs, we do not have a Tom, so the turkey eggs are all for breakfast. I am wondering, if when the chickens eggs hatch, will the Turkey take care of and raise the baby chickens?

    i had my baby chickens (& 3 turkeys) move into coop at about 5 weeks, but I kept a fence between them and the older chickens for about 2.5weeks. Figured they would get used to seeing and hearing each other. Then i removed the divider and they have been just fine. The older chickens stay...

    My baby turkey wont stop chirping! =( (other questions too)

    just replaced the heating lamp with an electric hen - now the lonely turkey has left the stuffed animal and now all the chickens and turkeys cuddle together under the heater (which doesnt burn little fingers and/or risk start house on fire) ! not only do they all sleep through the night...

    My baby turkey wont stop chirping! =( (other questions too)

    yes she is! We got the 3 really hoping for 2 females and a male, so they can start their own little flock next year! It is funny though that the other 2 turkeys bonded with the chickens. One paired up with the tiny little Silkie and the other one bonded with one of the 2 lavender Orpingtons...

    LOL!!! the stuffed animal trick worked!!! place an old stuffed elephant in the pen with the chickens and turkeys - and almost immediately the chirping stopped as the liitle turkey snuggled in and found peace with the little green elephant!

    Solar powered LED lights for chicken coop?

    well been happy with my solar lights, all my chickens are back to laying! Now the lack of having a timer for the solar lights, I had to attach the solar panel in between two trees, so it only collects the solar energy for a couple hours in the morning. They kick on as soon as it gets dark...
