That is true! Because when we first pick any of them up, most them struggle and scream and carry on. i just hate the thought that it is holding still in hopes that the threat will go away. i truely want them to enjoy being with me and around me.
i am laying on my side, and i am being super gentle and still and at first it seemed to be nuzzling in and now it's just quitely sitting there, it's not making noises of alarm or anything and it seems happy. but how do i know if it really is happy on my shoulder hanging out with it's lil "cave"...
i was holding her, /him s/he climbed up my shoulder walked into my hair and sat down, twice. we pulled her out an she walked up my left breast an shoulder and burrowed in and gets quite upset when i try n get her out.
it never did with our other batch a few years ago. but either way i do not see the harm in going and getting red lightbulbs or those big heat lamp style lamps.
I really had my heart set on trying to get an ash tom, so beautiful and they'd be so unusual. But I do not want to have to get any shipped from a hatchery in the mail.
My dad has two fully matured burbon red heritage hens, and 1 fully mature black turkey the kind engineered to get big and fat for the table. He had two and two but one died:( he has 7 chicken hens.
the thought was once they're fully ready to go outside, they'd join the chickens and turkeys...
My dad's female turkeys used to be very very sweet, they started out of the blue attacking him and nipping at him and fluffing up big and doing the I am going to kick your arse walk they do when they are feeling rude. And he hasn't done anything to them either.
I'm not looking for a flock I just want 2 or 3 I would have only gotten one, but my dad and another person said they're very social and they'd want more than just themselves. The guy I asked who runs an article about raising turkeys said 3 is better than 2.. I was thinking I could get a huge...
some of you might remember that my dog attacked one of our heritage turkeys and ripped all her feathers out on her back under her wings and left a few huge gashes, it's getting all leathery and healed up now, but Spartacus, or one of the other birds, but i think her because i've seen her peck it...
Thank you every one, we got some antibioti powder to put in her water, and we got the blue cote, and she's feeling a bit friskier now, so hopefully the shock is wearing off. We just have to watch and see and hope.
My dad and i will go to the feed store and get the Blue Cote spray and we'll see if they have any antibiotics for turkeys and do the best wbe can to help her. She was clearly dazed, i picked her up an i didn't have the best hold on her, and normally if she was herself she would have flapped the...
What do we do? Can she survive this? My dad sprayed her with solercain it's like bactine. do we need to wrap her in guaze? get some special turkey ointment? does she need sutures? What? We've seperated her from all the other turkeys, and she is in an enclosement so she can't wander all over the...
