Thank you, do you think he will get lonely all by himself? :( it’s currently just him and the one hen and they were raised together. I feel bad separating because they were raised together. Thankfully he doesn’t attack my mother and only me lol. I think I’ll just let her go in the coop and take...
We aren’t the type to get rid of problem animals, if anything we take them in. If anyone has any tips on how to at least keep him away from me that would be great. Everyone suggested getting rid of him or eating him but we just won’t do either, just like you don’t get rid of problem dogs or...
All we ever did was pick them up a couple times when they were babies. Most of the time they spend with chicks and not other baby turkeys. I never really picked him up or babied him because he just didn’t want to be picked up
I guess I will just deal with his behavior, I feel rehoming him is going to get him eaten and I don’t want that to happen, so that isn’t really an option. This is my first time owning turkeys and we didn’t know that when they imprinted they got nasty. My little hen who we raised the same is as...
Oh no! :( he’s my baby! Plus then the hen would be lonely. We don’t eat our animals. Is there no way to maybe like pin him down and show him who is boss? I don’t care about him getting poofy but I’m not a fan of the biting and kicking
My Tom is about 6 months old now and has become extremely nasty. He kicks, bites and gets big at me and gets super pissy if the hen wants you to pet her. I understand his hormones are probably going crazy right now but I can’t have him kicking me every time I walk into the coop. How can I stop...
She seems to kind of pick at her food before moving on. Her crop is never full like the others and she’s super light. she’s now in the house with free access to food and water all the time but she still just kinda picks at it before walking away. I thought maybe she couldn’t see well being...
Oh no that’s not good! We change the water every couple hours because of the heat and they free range throughout the day. Thank you! I’ll start treatment right away
One of my silkies has started pooping blood, caught it yesterday but I’m not sure how long they’ve been doing it. They get fresh water 24/7 and chick starter crumble. They are the only one with bloody stool. It’s been 93°- 97° Here so I’m not sure if heat has to do anything with it. Here is a...
She’s peeping better now, I super carefully took only what she pipped off. Every time I see her wiggle it’s super weak? She barely moves. I didn’t mess with the layer right under the shell though, should I poke a little hole for her?
