    "Stargazing" turkey poult?

    So this year we have encountered a view issues with our baby turkeys, we already lost one that refused to eat or drink but this one is acting really strange. He is still eating and drinking, I catch him doing it every so often but almost every time I go to visit them he throws his head up...

    Neck Dancing Turkey Poult

    So recently we hatched a bunch of baby turkeys, at first all seemed well but then we've been having some problems occur. We lost one baby, not sure why but he laid around a lot and refused to eat or drink anything. We have another one however that does a "neck dance" and it worries me. He gets...

    Vastly approaching their 2nd birthday!

    So, I'm excited to say that my first turkey is quickly approaching his second birthday at the beginning of April. :) Better yet he is a BBW! The pretty girl next to him is my friends BBW hen who she got at the same time. We had 9 BBW's to start with two years ago. Sold 2 at a 4H auction...

    What would you call this color?

    So I have a mixed flock here at home, unfortunately no purebred pairs so when breeding season comes we get a backyard mix of some interesting looking birds. :) Last year our only heritage hen was a Blue Palm who was breeding with one of our two Narrie toms. They produced poults that looked like...

    What could I be?

    So, we have this sweet little hen we got from our local feed store last spring. I've posted pictures of her before to try and find out what she might have in her. To me, she looks slatey but I know nothing of turkey genetics to be sure if that actually means something. She's not very big, only...

    Need Some Advice, Hen Not Acting Right

    So our BB/Narrie cross has been acting odd lately. First we noticed she was getting clumsy and not roosting with the rest of the crew. We kept finding her in the coop with our BBW's which was unusual for her. Since then she hasn't been eating too well and has gotten VERY clumsy. Like, she starts...

    One of my hens hates me...

    So I have a BBW hen who is about 18 months old and has recently decided that she hates me. I have no idea what I ever did to her to make her so angry with me. But everytime she sees me she starts swearing at me (by swearing I mean she walks around with her head pulled back chirping and cooing)...

    Lethargic Birds Not Eating?

    Hi there, we have two birds recently come down with similar symptoms but have no idea what is actually going on or how to help them. One is a young turkey poult only about 6-8wks old and the other is a d'uccle that is over a year old. They both just seem..off. Their balance is a tad off and they...

    Surprise Naked Necks in my bantams? Question?

    Okay so earlier this year one of my mixed bantam hens went broody and hatched 4 little chicks. They are about 2 months old now and three of the four have all of their feathers for the most part, excluding some tail feathers. The other one though (we call her the Ugly Chick) has only feathers on...

    What am I?

    So we picked up this little cutie at the feed store today. We have no idea what she is (well we're hoping she anyways). Her color in these pictures is a bit off. She inbetween the different shades here. She is starting to get some feathering that appears a light lavender gray color on her wings...

    Crossbreed Turkeys?

    So today my little Blue Palm hen hatched her first poult. The daddy is one of our Narragansett toms and I'm excited to see how they end up looking. So I was curious, does anyone else on here have crossbreed turkeys? I'd love to see some pictures. =3

    Turkeys in the bantiebator. =D

    So one of my bantam mix hens went broody yesterday and recently my little blue palm hen started laying...so I took my chickens eggs and slipped the turkey eggs under her! I'm really hoping she'll be consitant for me and hatch them out. Right now she's got three under her, but my BBW hens have...

    Is my girl a Blue Palm?

    I bought this little girl as a poult back in August, she was just fuzzy then with some darker markings. The people I bought her from advertised her as a Royal Palm turkey, but she was also in a cage with several other breeds including Midget Whites, Blacks, Slates and a few others. I'm pretty...

    A question about changing plumage.

    So we've had this duck for about 10 years she's one of the oldest ducks on the farm the other being her drake. We know for a fact that she is a hen, she's laid eggs, sat on eggs and hatched eggs even in the time that we've had her. But something weird is going on with her. A couple of days ago I...

    BBW's Is my Tom too big for my Hens?

    So I had ordered some BBW's for a 4H project earlier this year. Auctioned two off and had one butchered for Thanksgiving. The ones we kept were the healthiest looking birds. Anyway we have 5 birds left, one tom and 4 hens, but lately we've noticed that 3 of our hens have large gashes on their...

    What breed is this?

    So last year was my first year with chickens. I bought some chickens really cheap from a bird show and was told that they were bantam barred rocks. I'm familiar with standard barred rocks as a friend of mine has a bunch of them but these guys don't look like them. The hen was really light in her...

All I have right now are 2 Old English game hens, a bantam mix pair and a few of their offspring. I raised BBW turkeys for 4H this year and still...
