Hey all... Been a long time since I popped in. Just curious if you all have any recommendations in central/Western MN for Orpington breeders? I'd rather not go hatchery this time around, and would love to stay local. 😊

I haven't heard any gobbling yet. I'm really hoping one or both are toms.

Here's one of my little poop monsters. You can see his/her wing feathers have it all in them. 🤮

It has been hot here too, over 100 for the past week.

Their poop seems to be normal. I watch them go to the bathroom, and walk through it right after. I think that's the main problem. Their enclosure couldn't be any cleaner.

I've been putting them out in a covered run for the day. They still manage to get covered in gross.

They have a 5'L x 5'W x 5'H enclosure with pine shavings.

I'm new to turkeys, and have two sweet cuddly little 5 week old poults. One royal palm and one black spanish. They have a big clean brooder with pine shavings that I clean out every other day- but for some reason they always have poop all over their feet and feathers. Are turkeys just naturally...

Well Peg is almost fully healed. She has a small limp. She's officially back with the flock after a week of reintegration. Yay! 😊

Funny, I just posted about one of them earlier today. Here is a couple updated pictures. 2 are for sure cockerels, the one all white with feathered feet (shown in all 3 pictures) we are still wondering about.

About a week ago or so. What's got me wondering is the rounded, straight tail feathers. Also, when it fluffs up, it's missing the rooster neck feathers (the ones they get when sparring or shaking off).

Yes, and sparring too.

I have 4 chicks we hatched this year, and one has me completely stumped. We've been able to sex 3 of the 4 with the obvious telltale rooster/hen signs... But this one is tall and lanky like a roo, with pretty thick legs, developed a red comb and wattles really early... But is not sprouting...

She did indeed. We call her "Peg", as in "Peg Leg" 😂

We're making progress... Someone has decided to get out of the hammock on her own and is standing for short periods. The leg is shaky, but looks good.

She's doing great. She's trying to move her leg a bit more, eating and drinking like normal. I'm really optimistic about full recovery, or at least walking on her good leg again.

I've brought her out to see them a few times. They do their quiet chatty sounds to each other and she seems to really want to join them, she really pulls toward them. Hopefully soon... Winter is coming. Lol

We have named her Peg, as in "Peg-leg" lol

She's making progress. I re-wrapped her leg today and she can move it a little, not to mention that the break area doesn't seem as wobbly now. I think she should be good in a few weeks or so. 🤞 Here is a picture of her setup sans-guinea. And her she is today. Alert, chatty, and feisty as ever. 😊

Thanks! We haven't named her yet, but I have a feeling she will have one soon after all of this. We love our guineas, I couldn't imagine not trying to help them. 😊
