I have 7 broad breasted turkeys and I live in Florida. I’m looking to sell 5 by for thanksgiving. They are around 16 weeks old. I have a few questions. Do people usually buy them already processed or no? How much should I sell per pound? Where do I sell them and how do I advertise? Thanks!
I went to feed my 6 week old turkey poults yesterday and I noticed one was very lethargic. It had droopy wings and wasn’t keeping up with the others. I wasn’t thinking too much of it at first, but when I woke up this morning it had the same demeanor but worse. I quickly quarantined it and have...
I have a batch of eggs that I’d like to try dry incubation with them. I have heard that dry incubation is where you only put water in at lockdown. I live in Florida and it’s humid; however, I’ll be incubating the eggs in my house. Good idea? I have the janoel 12 incubator and it’s too much of a...
I’m moving my 3 week old turkey chicks into their grow out pen this week. I’m new to raising turkeys and they have out grown their brooder. The daily low temp is usually around 70 so I figure they’ll be fine out in the yard. I have no idea what to put inside their pen. It’s 6.5 ft by 10 ft. I...
Can anyone help me identify my chicks’ breeds. They all came from blue and brown eggs. Also if you can somehow see the gender by the coloring I would love to know. I know one for sure is a silkie but that’s it. I feather sexed them and it looks like 5 hens and 1 cockerel. I heard that feather...
I have a few day 23 eggs and I assumed they were all dead as I
Could hear no chirping or moving in the egg. So I cracked one open and found a fully formed chick inside. It wasn’t moving or breathing from the start and seemed very dead. I have four more eggs in there... what should I do? Leave...

Is it normal for me to candle an egg on day 16 and I can only see black besides the air bubble? I candles the eggs on day 7 and I could see everything.
I live in Florida. It’s very humid here to begin with. The humidity outside is about 87 percent on average. I have the janoel 12 incubator and i have had eggs in there since yesterday. I don’t have a hydrometer and I’m incubating them in my garage. The incubator says put 100 ml of water every...
I’m a new duck owner. I have 4 Pekins that are about a week and a half old. They’re all doing great, but no matter how much I try to get them used to me... they always seem to be petrified when handled. It’s cool now because I can still catch them if they run... but when they’re older I’m not...
