I have 2 male royal palms. 1 is more timid. They do sleep in a high tree, however, one of them is not coming out of the tree at all. It has been 4 days. I am afraid he wil drop out of the tree dead. The other turkey goes up there at night with him. He knows how to come out of the tree. The 1st...

Hi,
Last year in our hatch, we ended up with 3 males and 3 females. Something has gotten all the females, I only have the mom and a slate. The old male can still handle the others, they are a little less than a year. I would like a non eating home. They are very gentle and not aggressive.
I have 4 royal palm males, and 3 females. I was at my moms daughter #4, closed up coops. In the morning she says mom, something got a female. of course, Either the turkey was in the barn laying, and my daughter didn't see her, or whatever got her, did it in early evening. I have 15 chickens, so...
So my royal palm has been sitting on eggs for a month, my best mom hen, has been walking around crying for about 3 weeks. They are buddies.. Well the turkey is up high in a very small coop, Mom hen jumped up, and sat next to her. Last year, they raised a batch of turkey together. but I wanted to...

Well the mom turkey got eaten so I distributed the eggs among 3 other sitting birds. I have 2 royal palms sitting in the garden. Their eggs are all muddy and black. I put 4 new eggs under them. One hatched but they had no interest in the baby, so I gave it to a turkey mom who had another baby...
I dont really have the capability to build a coop. Does anyone know a place that sells coops that will work for turkeys? I want them to lay their eggs inside. I have 6 turkeys, royal palms, something got one sitting on eggs in pasture yesterday. thanks in Indiana

I knew my royal palm had a nest somewhere, but I had looked and didn't see it nearby. I was spraying brush killer on tall rhubarb when I found her. I do not think that i sprayed her. She is sitting on many eggs. I moved her and her eggs somewhere else. She seems ok. I am trying to contact Bayer...
My last child finished 4-h, I have 7 royal palms, 3 are male, one is old, one is new and the middle guy was hand raised by me. I guess I handled him too much because he is a little aggressive. I also have 4 muscovies, they are 6 years old. One pekin hen, who limps.
Then I have at least 15 hens...
my daughter has 5 male muscovies. 3 are mixed pekin and muscovy. All they do is fight, if I could find a home for the 3 newer ones that would be great . I am attempting probably to get rid of everybody, chickens and turkeys, but emotionally it is hard.
I am in Bloomington. I would like a...
Hi,
My daughter recently went to college, I have turkeys and chickens, the ducks mess up the water and fight alot. I would love to find someone who wants them. We have had them since hatched. I think they are half pekin, half muscovy.

Hi
My daughter recently went to college. Now I have her old muscovies. They are so mean to each other, I would like to find a home. They are muscovies, some as old as 6, 4 males. Anyone in Indiana have a big place where they would not notice more ducks? They are not for eating, so it needs to...
Hi all,
I noticed lately that I have no duck eggs, and now less chicken eggs. Now I am finding chicken eggs high in a small coop where the chickens used to lay. They are dirty as if they had been on the ground. I didn't collect them, the next day when I went out, one of the eggs was smashed, it...
so we go to the fair, and towards the end of the week, my daughter says, oh yeah mom, I saw eggs on my rooster that won grand champion, but I thought washing him would get rid of them! If I had known he would never have gone to fair. That means everyone has mites. My daughters dont agree...
Hi,
My royal palm finally started laying eggs. We put them under our muscovy. the first one I found cracked with a dead baby in it. She still sat on the 2nd one. 2 days ago she pushed it to the side, it cracked a little, I do not know if the baby was trying to get out. I am afraid that chick...
About a week ago, I noticed my hen was limping. She kept holding her leg up, but was still moving and eating. Then yesterday, I noticed she was just sitting with her head under her wing, but she was still eating.
Well today she is dead. We did give her a little polyvisol, but too late...
