Thanks... we love them. They are pretty friendly... We have been wanting a pair for awhile now.
Coop... it wasn't a planned trip. We just got up and decided to go to the WCA.
Has anyone ever had a turkey hen walk around, puffing up and acting like a male?
I know it is a hen... she lays eggs... so no doubt there. I was just wondering if she is having an identity crisis???
DH does have one yokahoma roo... that I know he won't part with.... as it took him a year to finally get one.
Good oriental breeds are hard to find around here...
and forget ordering them from the hatchery.... we have several times and each time... they have failed to thrive.
But thanks to...
We are doing the 301 yard sale this weekend, too.
If you start yard saleing in Benson... you will pass right by the road we live on... between Benson & Four Oaks.
We didn't buy anything either. If anyone takes any birds to WCA... don't put too many birds in the boxes, put frozen water bottles in their crates (Beth's idea) , or at least some water. Some poor birds got too hot on sunday and died.

Aww... beautiful baby!
I suppose you can use tylan in the water.... DH gives the shots. I don't think my hen got as bad off as yours is.... but she kept doing the squatting pose and you could see her tail feathers move when she'd try to push the egg out. Can you feel an egg in her? Her...
It sounds like she might be egg bound.
I dealt with this a couple of weeks ago.... from what I researched she needs calcium.... all I had on hand was tums/w calcium... I gave her tums water and fed her scrambled eggs with crushed tums, yogurt and the shell crushed up very good. The calcium is...
I used to go frog gigging with my dad when I was little..... and watch the frog legs jump around the pan when my momma fried them up...
tasted almost like chicken.... dark meat.
