It all started about a month ago. A friend of mine visited some of their friends who knows this guy who every year gets bored with the animals he has collected and gives them away. To make a long story short, she came home with 5 guinea fowl and 3 red bourbon toms and gave me one of the toms. I...

This is helpful thank you! I have heard so many people say they won't go inside. I am thinking of just building them a tall perch or a lean-to with no sides, just a top and perches.

Hello all. I was wondering if you could show me some of your turkey "houses". I have heard turkey's don't care to be cooped so I was wondering what everyone uses in the winter to keep them protected? I live in upstate NY where it gets very cold in the winter and I don't really have any tree...

We have checked the neighbors yard but there is a large heavily wooded area across the road as well as a large tall grassy field.

No feathers in sight

So my red bourbon hens are fairly new, I have had them two weeks. We kept them in a separate hoop coop with our red bourbon tom we got for free about a month ago. After a week of caring for them we slowly started to let them out (supervised) for a few hours. The first day I went to my neighbors...

Looks like a roo to me

12 weeks

The OE is 11 weeks

I forgot to add the olive egger....

I have two that are questionable. One is an olive egger, the other is supposedly a freedom ranger crossEd with a RIR. Thoughts?

Honestly I think this is too much. The most I will pay is $10-$15. I have gotten burned a few times now too. I was sold a hen that didn't lay and a hen that was crippled that we ended up having to cull. Make sure you know what you are getting. It might be worth the wait to buy pullets and wait...

I posted some pictures above.

I purchased a dozen turkey eggs for $40 and 5 hatched healthy and another 2 hatched and died but I still considered it good because I figured the poults were worth $10 or more each so I got my money back. Everyone has a different opinion though. I did let the supplier know how I did but I didn't...

Yup everyone says I am crazy too so I just go with it :highfive:

This is good to know. I have one rooster in my big mixed flock of 20+ hens. He has a great temperment but I haven't had good luck adding another roo to the flock. His fertility has dropped A LOT but I don't have the heart to cull. It would probably be easier raising up two young roos together...

They are SO loud. They are comical to watch though and mine would come up on th eback steps of the house and look into the sliding glass door. Mine ended up going to live with a friend though because they were SO mean to my chickens. They would pull feathers out and chase if the chickens got...

O Oh and another thing. My neighbors have a dirtbike track and are constantly having people come over and all I hear is brap-brap loud dirtbikes all day. So I now have two roosters and got a tom turkey that gobbles loudly all day and I don't feel an ounce bad about it LOL.
