    Looking for Beltsville Small White or Midget White for shipping

    Hey I am looking for hatching eggs for spring from either Beltsville Small white or Midget White turkeys, to be shipped to Denmark, EU. I currently have no idea if they exist in Europe, so I am also looking for US sellers. Hoping for 50+ eggs to set up the breed.

    What turkey breeds do you recommend?

    So, I am hoping to get turkeys next year. Heritage only, and preferably a recognized breed. What do you think of the recognized breeds? (Beltsville Small White, Black Bourbon Red, Bronze, Narragansett, Royal Palm, Slate, and White Holland) Any others you recommend?

    Turkey sexing

    Hi all! I am normally pretty good at sexing my turkeys (I just wait until they gobble or lay eggs). But this little guy I'm not so sure about. I don't have pics right now, will get them tomorrow. He is a bronze and bourbon red cross. He has a rather big snood, but besides that I can't see...

    Baby turkey fell into water

    Hey guys! my mum turkey has recently hatched 9 babies on her own. She’s in a pen by herself, with the babies. Water is safe and isn’t possible for them to get into. However, one of the babies escaped and fell into some water, not sure how long the baby was in there for. When we finally found...

    Hi! So I was reading some threads about problems with crumble and problems with pellet feed. Personally, I think it depends on the brand. Please vote and type what feed brand you use.

    Tom or hen?

    This is our first time owning turkeys and we aren’t exactly sure how to sex them or when we can. They are 11/12 weeks old! They get big and poofy for a few seconds and hiss?

    Turkeys Coming To Roost

    I have had turkeys and chickens. They were never housed together, or even mingled together (I’m a stickler for biosecurity and npip recommendations)🤓😄👍. One thing that always sucked, was that the turkeys ALMOST NEVER returned to their giant turkey-friendly coop when the sun set—and the random...
