    Thou shalt not bite the hand that feeds you! Mean Turkey?

    Thank you crj - I don't think I'm brave enough yet to actually hold on to him LOL I did manage however to NOT retreat today for the first time (I was equipped with a rake). He did his usual of coming up quickly and trying to intimidate me, but when I didn't budge and only said "WHAT DO YOU WANT...

    First time letting Tom out....any suggestions?

    We have to move our Turkey's to the back yard where we have built new pens etc. Until now, they've all lived in the front yard, the 2 Toms in each of their own pens and the hens separately (in the middle). We've had a LOT of rain here in Northern VA recently and it's really made the Turkey pens...

    I'm sorry for your loss I don't think you're overreacting...I don't think I would move my feathered buddies. Is there any way to maybe add windows or something to "air out" the barn and keep it well ventilated? I'm just a beginner but I'm sure the experienced peeps here will be able to give...

    What can I feed my chicks besides chick starter?

    I fed baby rice cereal to a single chick that hatched a few weeks ago. It seemed to work really well and the little chick that was sort of weak and wobbly at first, gained strength and energy very quickly. I made it rather watery at first and with each feeding, I made it slightly thicker. It was...

    Do you know why there are brown eggs? I do

    So the pink eggs come from secretly gay roo's who are laying when no one is watching?

    Thou shalt not bite the hand that feeds you! Mean Turkey?

    Thank you so much for the advice, Frosty. That is a great threat. I will go ahead and get some grapes, cook up some scrambled eggs and see if I can get Jack to be less threatening. I'm definitely nervous and I'm sure that doesn't help. The other one, "Indy", just makes that "Chee" sound whenever...

    Got Flogged by A rooster tonight

    Would this work on a Turkey? I'm not so sure how I would "carry" our full grown Tom around, but he's been a serious pain in the behind lately. Has broken my husbands skin twice this week! My husband has been letting it go, although my feeling was all along that it was a dominance thing and that...

    Demanding hen

    That is so neat! I only have 1 laying hen right now, but 16 more hens on their way to maturity...hopefully, my girls will also be celebrating the arrival of an egg. Thank you for sharing!

    Thou shalt not bite the hand that feeds you! Mean Turkey?

    Hello All, my husband got our first Tom at 1 day old. He was the only one, and getting spoiled rotten for quite a long time. He never showed any aggression until we started to let him free range in the front yard. I haven't dealt much with him as my husband took care of "Jack" for the most...

    Hello from VA! And a Chicken Question :)

    Thank you, everyone! I won't worry about it then. She seemed so unhappy today being stuck in her pen again so I'm going to let her out now. Phew! I'm so relieved that that's all it is. Thank you again TPP and GM for the input, it's greatly appreciated. Have a great evening

    Hello from VA! And a Chicken Question :)

    Thank you for the Welcome! I did try to put her usual food out in a place near the house and she came several times to feed...BUT, because we keep 5 pheasants in the same house with her, I closed up the pen of course because I didn't want them to come out. I wouldn't have even thought as far...

    Loving my Turkeys

    We have 3 Royal Palm also - all hens. We had 5 to start with but 2 died and we haven't figured out exactly why. The other 3 are looking great and I'm surprised by their temperaments! We started of with 1 Tom but he was never very nice and he made me kind of afraid of Turkey's in general. Well...

    Hello from VA! And a Chicken Question :)

    Hello Everyone! I've gone to the Chickens to say the least - we had 5 Golden Comet chicks join us yesterday and they're all doing well We have a mature hen (blue Orphington I think) who I just recently let out in the yard to venture around and enjoy herself. She was a very reliable egg layer...
