Greetings, my Royal Palm had her first hatch yesterday (5). I’ve put food & water in their pen. Will mom teach them everything? Or do I need to help in any way? How long before the poults start eating & drinking? Should I supplement with electrolytes or probiotics?
Many thanks!
Hey guys. My hen has laid 11 eggs in 11 days but she won’t stay on them. She’s only a year old & my Tom (same age) stays right by her side, strutting constantly! Is she fertile? Everything I’m reading says turkeys only lay 2-3 eggs a week. Ive saved all the eggs & have been keeping them warm...

Bought these chicks as straight run, Seabrights. One has started a comb the other has nothing. I'm thinking I have a rooster and a hen? They are 6 weeks. Thoughts? Thank You!
