What is the survival rate of Turkey poults with a first time momma Turkey
Hi, I might sound stupid, I know this is a question I should be able to google, but I couldn’t find any answers. No matter what search variable I used, nothing.

My momma Turkey hen who just hatched out poults has been acting normal, but just today I noticed her snood is all swollen and shiny. I couldn’t get a good side profile picture, but it’s definitely swollen and abnormally shiny. It doesn’t seem to bother her at all, she acts normal. Is it...- Pearlescent

Can Turkey hens spit?
I have 5 little poults, about 2-3 weeks old, I am raising, I’m planning on selling 2 of them soon. Both strut, one more than the other, but I do not believe this to be a gender implication because the other 2 times I’ve raised turkeys, the hens strutted just like the Toms. Just today I was...- Pearlescent

Giving Turkey poults to broody mother?
I have been incubating my hens fertile eggs since July 1st. The eggs range from day 5-day 27. I would’ve loved her to raise them, except that she wasn’t Broody. But all of a sudden she’s gone fully broody, barely ever leaves her box, Poofed up, stopped laying. Definitely broody. Now I’m unsure...- Pearlescent

Turkey with a Vent Prolapse
Hi. Last week I discovered my eight-year-old narragansett hen had a vent prolapse. I went through the procedure of repeatedly pushing the prolapse back inside, and it hasn't stayed in on its own over the past seven days.

What is my Turkey?
I have a Turkey hen who is supposedly a Sweetgrass X Standard bronze, but I have reason to believe her mother was actually a midget white, from the photos of her mother and siblings.

My turkey hen lost her chick and I feel terrible
Logically I know that there’s very little that could’ve been and even less that I can do now. My main suspicion is that something got the poor little guy. If he had been sick or injured, the hen would’ve stayed with him. If he were stuck, he would be chirping and the hen would be with him... -

Moving turkey to a new location
As per my previous thread, I'm getting my turkey tom a new mate. But it's a surprisingly hard thing to do, since a LOT of farms in my area stopped raising them due to covid.
