    What am I doing wrong?

    Hello all, I’m new to raising turkeys. I got 16 turkey poults delivered on Wednesday. They all seemed to show up healthy and thriving. I’d been told to put them with a chick or two to “teach them how to be birds.” I bought bourbon red and blue slate turkeys. I’ve had 3 bourbon reds die since...

    Spraddle leg?

    Thank you for this! And everyone else who commented. I have made the tape splints on their feet, and given them a brooder in the house. I have me own B complex I can see if that will help. However, they are struggling much more with the taped feet. I keep finding them laying on their sides...

    Spraddle leg?

    Hello again, I’ve looked at other posts and don’t seem to be fining the answers I want. I recent hatched 21 chicks. They are 2 weeks old. I have 4 not walking well. I’ve made a hair band splint for them. I’m sure if this is spraddle leg because all of them have toes curling. Please check out...

    Is this bloody manure?

    I have 48 birds in this pen; all are eating, drinking and acting normal. Thanks for the info. My concern is that almost all visible manure in this pen looks like that. So much different than the manure of my egg laying hens in a separate pen. The egg layers are located in a pasture on the...

    Is this bloody manure?

    This is from my meat chicks (red broilers, 7 weeks old). Many of them have the same color. I did look at some links on other posts. I honestly thought this could go either way, so I digress to the experts. I have 48 birds in this pen. All are acting normal, eating and drinking fine. Thanks...

    Karen or Kevin?

    I did not know about the black breast. I knew much of your other arguments, but I’m glad you took the time to remind me. I’m still learning! I agree, Karen is a Kevin and will be culled when we cull our other surplus roosters.

    Karen or Kevin?

    For fun. I was team Karen up till today. I got “her” sexed, but they’ve been wrong before. Hatch date 11/3/23 Reasons for Karen- she was sexed, virtually no comb until a few weeks ago. No waddles under her chin. Comb was light pink until all my other pullets started turning red too. I’m not...

    Apple Cider Vinegar Scraps

    Hello BYC! I’m an old member with a new name. I couldn’t figure out my login in (or the email associated with it) from years ago. I’ve been fermenting my own ACV and I read that I can give my scraps to me chickens. Have you done this? Is it wise? I of course know the benefits of ACV and...
