    Tom turning against me

    My Rio Grande tom is turning very mean, but really only against me. He eats from my hand and has always been very tame. Recently, he comes after me, pecks me and will actually chase me. We seem to be in a war and I'm not sure how to stop his behavior. I've tried spraying him with water and even...

    Market for heritage turkeys

    Is there a market for young ( 6 mos-1 yr) turkeys? I live in northern NM close to Colorado. Raised turkeys for the first time last year and just love them. But, don't really think I could house 20-30 adult turkeys. Curious to know if there is a market for these young ones. I don't want to dress...

    Force feeding and watering

    I have a hen that was attacked twice. I tried integrating her using the advice in the many threads, but to no avail. Her injuries don't look life threatening. This last time, about four days ago, she stopped eating or drinking or leaving her cage. She is protected from the rest of the flock...
