What a cool thing for you to do for the kids! What a Beautiful turkey Vincent is. Why did you name him Vincent? I have a young blue slate that the daycamp down the street from me has asked me to bring to their park camp to show. Any suggestions?

sorry got off subject...I got my last guys from Cackle in Lebanon Missouri and took an improptu tour and although it wasn't my "perfect world!) it was better that most and family run for many many years, they have no minimum if you pick them up yourself. I feel less guilty getting them there...

There are other video's shot undercover on utube that show the horrid conditions that most commercial chicken/egg production encompasses. It's the stuff of nightmares. What amazes me is that those poor chickens live even the brief time they do. Truly remarkable animals. A group that I have...

archerobx- congrats on the new poults! do you know what kind of heritage breeds they are? Post pics we'd love to see

I'm with chickenannie, my poult was way more "imprintable" than the chicks were. He protects me and wants to know where I am. If we are outside and he walks away and comes back he will call for me (he's 6 weeks old) until he can see me again. He's spoiled rotten but even at his young age he...

Congrats!!They are too cute! I'd take the turkey poults over the fishing anyday!

Please carefully read the rules for this forum section before EVER posting in the predators and pests section again. Thank you Kurtis

I'm with Emzyyy...I have a pair of big pink croc clogs and the hens are just fascinated with them, especially if they see my toes thru the holes. They'll follow me all over the yard and watch my feet! I couldn't figure out the fascination until my son confessed that he had put worms in the...

So sorry about your loss. You get so attached to the little buggers because they're so cute.

I love my blue slate poult. He/she is 5 weeks old now and just too cool! They imprint so quickly and he follows me everywhere and does the little baby peeps thing. He knows the sound of my voice and will "call" to me. I think it largely depends on how much time you put into it from the...

My guy had a rough start as well. The first 3 days we didn't think he'd make it. I took a 1cc syringe(get em at walgreens or the pharmacy anywhere) I I used that to give him fluids and I also fed him turkey poult feed(purina game bird starter 24%)in mash form with warm water. I had to grind...

Too cool! Lucky chickens and beautiful photos as well!

My blue slate will be five weeks in a couple days. I've never raised turkeys before so I can't be of much help but my little dude is so sweet and so silly and does the cutest things. He is very calm and is being raised with 4 chicks of the same age. Turkey poults are just the coolest little...

Nothing cuter than a turkey poult!

Laura, my month old slate blue poult has definitely imprinted on me. He does the little soft baby peeps only for me and follows me and nestles in my neck. He/she had a rough start and got extra attention from the beginning but he knows the sound of my voice and listens for me. I raised him...

My turkey poult walks around with his wings slightly dropped on either side. Is your's doing something like that? I've seen turkeys walk around that ways sometimes its like he's showing off. But it only lasts for a little bit and then he pulls thems back up again. When i first saw him doing...

My first poult, 8 days old, does this weird thing with it's feet. Especially when it eats at the feeder/waterer. It kinda "shifts" it's weight from one foot to the other. It almost looks like it's stomping it's feet. Both legs, joints, toes etc look perfect. I've been over them with a...

Congrats Dad!! Please post pics!!

What lucky grandkids!! That train is SO cool! I'd put the turkeys in and give em a ride!

That is very cool. It only happen's one day a year?? Is it the same time every year?
