    Turkeys won’t sleep in coop

    We recently got 6 turkeys earlier this spring. We have a nice 9x16ft coop for them but they free range all day with all our other poultry. My problem is they refuse to sleep in their coop. They’d rather sleep on top of the duck coop that’s about 16ft in the air. There is no way for me to get...

    Turkey gender by wing type?

    Turkey Poult Necrospy

    I received my turkey poults 4 days ago and nearly half of them have died. The healthy ones are doing great, but those who died just faded and wouldn’t eat or drink despite being shown where food and water was. Figured it was the stress of being shipped across the country… I cut two open and...
