I have five 11 week old BBB turkeys that are in a run with a little grass and have a hoop coop that is just sand on the floor. The grass was newly planted before putting them on it (as well as some chicks,which probably destroyed some of it) and there isn't a lot of grass left so I was going...

Just wondering how you all store your turkeys while you're collecting them for the incubator. Room temp, cool like in a garage or the refrigerator and HOW long can you keep them before having a batch?

I have a flock of domestic Eastern Wild turkey's. Right now I have 3 hens that are breeding age and one Jake who is mating with them. The hens are from different parents unrelated to the Jake as far as I know from the information I was given by the person I bought them from. When their babies...

Well, I was wondering if any poult's would hatch from my Eastern Wild hen. She is about 1- 1/2 years old and our first season with her. The set up she is currently in would prohibit her from getting her babies to food and water easily as the edges of her nest box are too high for them to get...

Hi All, My DH and I are thinking about incubating some turkey eggs for the first time. What's the best incubator for a mid range price for say 20 to 30 eggs that any of you have used. Pro's/con's of each one, best hatch rate without a lot of temp fluctuations, accesories that you feels are more...

My Turkey poults are a little over 4 weeks old and growing by leaps and bounds. How long should they stay on a 28-30% starter feed before moving them to a grower feed that only about 21% protein. My turkey grower feed bag says "from 4 weeks on" but I don't want to deprive them of needed protein...

Hey is there anyone there that has answers for me LOL. I have an Eastern Wild turkey hen who now has 6 eggs in her clutch which she is finally laying IN her nest. What I want to know is after she hatches these poults, does she take care of feeding them totally or do I need to supply turkey...

Hi all, I am very new to "turkeydom". We have 3 Eastern Wild turkey hens ( and one Jake) that are 1 to 1- 1/2 yrs old. One of them laid an egg today, our first one! We only got these turkeys about 1 and a half weeks ago. Anyway, We saw the egg just laying on the dirt so I picked it up and put...
