    Buying sexed poults?

    Hi! I recently ran across a hatchery site selling sexed turkey poults, Valley of the Moon Turkeys. It is the ONLY site I have seen offering heritage breeds sexed. Is there any other company that does? My difficulty is that I need more hens, not toms, and by the time I am able to identify their...

    Turkeys not eating in summer

    My turkeys haven’t been eating much if at all the past week. They seem perfectly normal but I worry about them not eating. Is this normal? Is there something I can feed them in the summer that they’ll eat?

    Question about dewormers

    So my wife and I have had chickens for a couple years now. This year, we got some turkeys and ducks as well. We let out the ducks once they're nearly full grown and they tend to stay out around the pond and rarely come back into the pen or coop at night, but we do keep them in the pen with the...

    Turkey treats?

    I have 3 broad breasted whites that are on 20% crumble and 12 weeks old. They like romaine lettuce, watermelon, whole oats and BOSS. Any other treats your turkeys like? How much lettuce or greens do you give your turkeys a day? Thank you!!!!!

    9 out of 10!

    9 out of 10 incubated turkey eggs hatched yesterday and today! Just wanted to share my Royal Palm x Bourbon Red and my one Black Spanish x Bourbon Red new turkey chicks. The one that didn't hatch was a side air cell. I put it air cell up and I should have put it air cell on its side.

    Questions about possible lice treatment.

    Hello everyone, I believe my birds may have lice. At first I thought maybe they were just picking on each other since some were missing feathers. Now the chickens are missing more feathers on their back towards the tail and under their vents. It seems like they are picking at each other under...
