    Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Poults hatched

    Our Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Poults hatched. Of the 10 eggs we had... 6 were fertilized. Two pipped and failed. One never pipped. We have 3 turkey poults. So in love with these little guys. One is quite loud, guessing that one is the girl, jenny 💃 Love these guys.

    Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey Hatching

    This batch of 10 turkey eggs, 4 were not fertilized. So of the 6 potential good ones, 2 decided to hatch on day 26. Only one egg didn't pip yet. Super EXCITED. *first turkey that hatched had splayed legs. Hoping with some TLC he'll make it.

    Do you help your birds keep cool?

    My bigger birds learned about the delights of wading in water to cool off but my younger birds are staying under the low, bushy palms when temps hit 95 degrees. I just ordered this mister and I'm going to set it up over that palm. Have you tried a mister or do you have any other techniques for...

    Why aren't they laying ?

    I have 8 laying hens, except they are not laying. I'm only getting 2-3 eggs a day. I know that they slow down in the winter, but we are still in the 90s. So do they slow down by calendar, or by temp? If by temp, why aren't they laying?:
