We live on Long Island and have a Royal Palm pair. We love them. Blackhead is rampant here so we have our flocks separated. Our new hen has one remaining poult from the hatch of 7. Three died of an illness and three others were taken by predators. We have one left. They have their own...

I have not been on in a while - life got busy. I live in Ridge. We still have our girls and now Royal Palm Turkeys and meat birds. Just wondering if anyone else from LI is here. Thanks and look forward to being here more.

My name is Karen and live in Ridge. I have been a member here for about 8 years but have been inactive in the last 3 years. Not much with my flock has changed and my girls are very happy and doing well. I just felt I needed to re-introduce myself after not being on for so long. I hope...

My friends do have a rooster and are off Magnolia. We love the Turkeys, however, we do raise them for meat. The breading pair are going on 4 years. They are really nice birds. Our Tom is not aggressive at all and watches over the poults with the hen. However, funnily enough, he does NOT like...

Congratulations on your hatch! We had 11 hatch last thursday. Mom is doing her job - no heat needed.Let nature take its course. We have our shelter bedded down with a layer of straw. She might be more comfortable. Best of luck.

UPDATE - well after much observation and our hen sitting on the eggs- we had 11 out of 12 hatch. The tom is protective of her and does not bother her or the chicks at all. When we go in or pass through their area - he almost stands guard for them. We lost one egg to it getting broken. We just...
