    Turkey Talk for 2014

    Turkey poults are unfortunately too dumb for words.  When raised by a hen, they do a lot better but most folks have them in a brooder and when in there they seem to find the strangest ways to kill themselves.  Like playing in the water until they die from cold or breaking their necks in feeders...

    Hova Bator genesis 1588 temp question

    I just recently bought my second havobator genisis to have one for hatching and one for setting. In each incubators I use a digital hygrometer/thermometer made by incubator warehouse leave it on top of eggs and adjust my temp based on that. The controller on incubator is useless but now I have...

    heat lamp bulb alert

    I use them all the time. They are safe and yes red light is way better for the birds especially at night.

    Turkey Talk for 2014

    Yes your eight month olds should have no problem laying this spring. You might see them start squatting down for no reason before they are going to start laying. I think they get confused when their bodies start getting them ready. Hopefully your small hen doesn't have any issues laying or maybe...

    Turkey Talk for 2014

    Just wanted to say hello. Took me awhile to read everyone's post and get caught up. I have been raising and breeding Blue Slates for the past two years and purchased Narragansetts in the fall. Good buy that was, she has already been laying eggs for me here in Saskatchewan for 4 weeks. I have...

    Hova Bator genesis 1588 temp question

    I know this is an old thread but I wanted to post for people as a reference and perhaps anyone can update with their experience. I just tried my first hatch in the digital display havobator 1588.

    Narragansett turkey breeders need your advice

    Wow that is horrible. He should have just put them down and made soup if he couldn t get rid of them honestly. I generally stay away from free birds. This woman never meant to sell a hen she was just willing to part with her when I told her I wanted them for breeding. I did get a free buff roo...

    Narragansett turkey breeders need your advice

    So I contacted a very nice woman who is willing to sell me one of her breeding hens and Tom. We are going to be driving 7 hrs there to turn around and drive 7 hrs back. What concerns me is she described this hen as white with black speckles. Sounds to me like a Royal Palm. I don t want to waste...

    Turkeys not breeding need advice

    That is good to know. I thought it was her way of trying to tell him she's not on the market. Funny thing is her name is Tommy because as a young poult she would always strut her stuff so we thought she was male. So we had to name our Tom Gonzo like the muppet.

    It's official, we aren't eating them, they have names.

    I feel the same way about my turkeys. My rule though is get attached to your breeders and eat their young. That way you never have to by poults again. It's a win win situation. Maybe you can convince your family it's a good option.

    Turkeys not breeding need advice

    Update: Yesterday my Tom actually managed to get up on top, balance and stomp around for awhile but no penetration cause she didn't squawk. Once he got off of her it was quite entertaining because she started strutting her stuff trying to convince him she was male and he actually almost...
