    Gosling with probable sprained leg

    I'm happy to report that she has 100% recovered. She was walking better within a couple of days and now runs around flapping her wings like the others. They chase away the big 30lb Tom turkey but are super intimidated by the young 3-4 lb turkeys.

    Gosling with probable sprained leg

    Update: twice now she's gotten up, moved a few steps and sat back down where the grass and clover are better. I'm hoping this means no permanent damage and it's just really achey. Anyone?

    Broody hen kicked off nest

    Chicken, but yeah, she was placed back on the eggs as soon as the situation was noticed. Apparently moving the recalcitrant turkey Tom was an adventure. I was at work and my better half told me about it. We don't know how long she was off the eggs but hopefully not long.

    Broody hen kicked off nest

    Longtime reader, first time poster. I have a broody hen sitting on turkey eggs. Her decision, not mine! She's been on them for at least three weeks now but the other night, the Tom turkey decided he wanted her out of the nest. We aren't sure how long she was off the eggs. They're almost at 28...
