    Beehive: PESTS?

    Hello, any beekeepers know what these are? This is my first year with bees and I have not seen any of these critters yet. It just rained, and then these things seemed to crawl out of the woodwork. We recently dealt with an ant invasion, but have been clear of ants on the hive for a few days now.

    Breed ID

    The guy I bought this tom from told me that he was a “wild” turkey. This was my first turkey, so I didn’t know to inquire further. After doing some research, I dont think he is an Eastern Wild. My best guess is Standard Bronze, maybe Merriam. Does anyone here have any ideas? I can try to get a...

    Pros/Cons: Eastern Wild x Standard Bronze

    Added 2 Eastern Wild hens to my rafter yesterday. I previously thought that my tom was an Eastern Wild, but after seeing these hens and searching online I now think that he is a Standard Bronze or maybe a Merriam (the guy I bought him from claimed that he was a ‘wild’ turkey, so I assumed...

    Grabbing a turkey by the leg(s)?

    Yesterday when I picked up 2 hens to add to my rafter, the lady selling advised me not to grab the turkeys by their legs. She told me that I could grab them by their wings, but that grabbing them by their legs may injure them. I was in a hurry so I didnt ask her to elaborate, but can anyone here...

    Tom attacking new hen

    I am brand new to turkeys. Got a 1.5 years old Wild Eastern tom last week, and he is settling in to his run nicely. Brought home a 3 year old Heritage Bronze hen yesterday to keep him company, and he immediately postured up on her (puffed his feathers out, turned colors I hadn't seen before, and...
