I live in Sweden an we have humidity regulations to follow in our animal protection law.
They are as follow:
In a non heated chicken house the humidity shall not be more then 10% higher than the outdoor humidity. In other words, if the outdoor humidity is 60 its OK with up to 70% humidity in...
My guess is that your ladies just are curios of the two newcomers. My Turkeys are extremely curios and totally fascinated of all new things happening around our house. They have never been interested in the ducks probably because the ducks already lived here when I got my turkeys. But they were...

I want both
Well so far you are thinking the same way I do.
I just wanted to check with you if late bloomers was a common turkey problem. I'm also in to breeding geese and with some breeds it's quite common that the males are not taking the businesses with ladies so seriously the...
Hi
I have had Turkeys for some years (Bronce & Narragansett) and this year is the first time I have had problems with fertility.
I have one tom and 2 hens. My tom Victor is hatched 2010 so this is his first season of breeding. This year only about 10-20% of the eggs have been fertile It has...
Great video It only proves that turkeys are very funny birds Luckily my turkeys don't have a laptop in their house. If they had they would probably force me to start digging a pond....
Greetings from Sweden!
My small hen house is called "The Cockpit" My boys of cause have a lot of beautiful stewardesses to take care of them while working
The big hen house has a Swedish name hard to translate but it's a word game on what we in Sweden sometime call over styled, big and tasteless houses. "Chateau...

Sorry for your hen :-( but I would say just bad luck. I had several NN breds in both large and bantam over the last 10-15 years and never had any problems with them.
Ok Short intruduction. I'm Swedish an have had NN for many years, both bantams and regular. Last year I got hatchingeggs from Hungarian NN. I have a friend from Hungary living in Sweden and he imported the parentstock. In Hungary these breed is considered as an old heritage breed and is...
Thanks My nice hen laid her first egg yesterday I'm quite surprised as it is October and not the best weather But she probably thinks that a good looking girl like her needs to spread her genes
A little brag warning is probably in place
OK I have Bronz turkeys. Turkeys are not that common in Sweden and beside the commercial hybrids there is mostly Bronze and Royal Palms.
It is very rare to see a Turkey in a Swedish poultry shows so I thought i would give it a try and took three of...
OK some pictures:D
First a picture taken during and directly after hatching. Quality is not great as they are taken through incubator door.
And then some pictures of the survivors (still doing fine btw)
And two picture of their parents
So far so good:D The 4 turkey babies are still doing fine eating, drinking and behaving normal.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them to stay healthy.
I would just like to knew if the other small ones died because of mother nature or because of me messing up something. My turkeys are laying...
Some clarification.
I'm talking about Turkeys. Sorry for the spelling error English is not my native language In Europe we call the chickens Nude Necks. I have raised hundreds of Nude Necks as that is my favourite breed:D
Incubator is disinfected before use and so is the eggs. All eggs is...
I have for the first time in my life hatched turky eggs in a incubator. The chickens hatched normally on the right day without any problems(Saturday). I had 11 chickens. They behaved normally in the incubator (glass door so you can check without opening). Sunday morning 3 was dead in the...
