Hey guys! Not sure if this is the best place to post this, (so many threads on here lol) but I'm looking for a heritage breed turkey hen for my lonely tom. I'm in southern Indiana if anyone has an extra gal they part with for a reasonable price please hit me up. Thanks!

Thank you so much! Will the supplements in the water be ok for my chickens to drink as well? I know there is the controversy of keeping chix and Turks together, but on my place I dont have a choice for right now. He is turned out everyday and doesn't get table scraps other than the organic...
I purchased a poult in march that was listed as a standard bronze but at 13 weeks old is huge and very heavy. I am afraid he is Bbb. I am a vegetarian, and bought him as a pet, and could never process him. He is my sweet boy. I am concerned what to do for him as I know that the bbb generally are...
