    Narragansett turkeys NEED TURKEY EXPERT!!

    Ok we are new to turkeys. We purchased three seemingly healthy 14 month old Narragansetts about 2 weeks ago. They are not friendly in the least so we have had to leave them in their coop. The coop has ample space as well as a roosting bar and a large elevated nest box the coop has straw in...

    How long till eggs get larger?

    They were born on feb 23 2011 They have been excellent layers I would say they each lay about 6 a week. They had a 2 week run going where they both layed everyday. I just thought they were supposed to lay large eggs like the br but they are smaller and brown speckled where the br are larger...

    How long till eggs get larger?

    I have 2 black australorps that have been laying for about 5 weeks now and they both lay very small eggs and occasionally eggs without shells at all. They are being fed the same layer crumbles that my barred rocks eat but the barred rocks eggs are much larger. The funny part is the...
