I am so upset and confused. I went to check on my turkeys this afternoon and this is what I found. I hadn’t been out to the pasture since last night so I assume this happened sometime last night. I have had turkeys in this same tractor for three years now and this has never happened. It’s just...

As of today, I have 10 poults, 3 weeks and 3 days old. Initially, I had 11, but unfortunately, I lost one in the first week, possibly due to free-ranging too early with their mother, exposing them to disease.
After the loss, I immediately housed the remaining poults with their mother to ensure...

So I have a Narragansett female that has successfully hatched 3 chicks from a nest she had laid under a brush pile beside our shop. Afterwards, we kicked everyone else out & moved them into our coop with a small connected yard so the poults would be safe from predator birds. They are about 2 1/2...
Hello, everyone,
I live in Ukraine, I want to keep turkeys, but I don't understand anything about it, what can you recommend for a start. I was thinking something like this: Red Bourbon turkeys (I read about them on this site, they say they are not bad), Bronze turkeys - but maybe there are...

I found the remains of my only sweetgrass Tom this morning. After all the work I put in to raise him and the sweetgrass females I planned to breed him to, it feels like a real kick in the teeth. Ever since the huge cold spell started the coyotes have been relentless in trying to get past the...

My BIL has a 3.5 year old Broad Breasted White male Tom turkey named Leslie, that literally gets the BEST care. How can we enter him into the world record for his age?
I can't find many records for oldest BBW turkeys!
