Are there any issues with raising keets and chicks together in the same brood box?...they will be in separate pens later but curious if they would get along as babies...thanks!
My Bourbon Red pair free range, and yesterday my son came across the hen sitting on a nest of 16 eggs.
He and my wife moved them into the barn into a "nest" that they put together. Not sure how long these eggs have been out there and the hen doesn't seem too interested in sitting on...

He and my wife moved them into the barn into a "nest" that they put together. Not sure how long many of these eggs have been out there and the hen doesn't seem too interested in sitting on...
Thanks for the help!....perhaps another photo will clarify for you, but I'm fairly certain that they are Bourbon Reds. It was a little dark in the "roosting" photo.
Quick question for all of you "Southern US" Turkey folks!
The below photo is of my new pair of Bourbon Reds, and they prefer to be up on these rails outside of my barn at night rather than going in to a pen. Do you think they are safe here from Coyotes? Are they high enough and fast enough to...
Wow, so sorry!..we picked up our pair yesterday (tom and hen red bourbons), and they spent the night in an empty horse stall....I think Im going to wire that up so that they can just stay there at night...there are a lot of Coyotes here that would love an early thanksgiving,
Thanks!...not sure just yet.....I have a 6-stall barn and I'll be turning one of the corner stalls in to a coop. I've been waiting on spring to tackle that, then decide what breeds.
Just retiring from the US Army after 32 years, and living the dream....horses, goats, and soon a few turkeys and a few chickens.
Looking forward to tapping in to all of the expertise here!
