I think this is a jake and the other two are jennys based on snood size cant wait to see someone else chime in like Mr Bob @R2elk

At that age, snood size means nothing. While an experienced turkey person might be able to spot traits indicating sex at that age, they need to be at least 3 months old before they are able to begin to be sexed from pictures.

@FortCluck Hope they get this under control and you feel better soon! Saying a prayer for you!

My husband said it's from me kissing chicks and told me I have chickenitis told him I'll rub chicks all over his face when he's sleeping

My BNP is way higher than normal indicating more stress on my heart than normal. They gave me pain pills so I'm feeling great right now my head and chest were killing me. I can hear my heart beat in my ears and it's driving me crazy.

See, this is why I was waiting to hear from you! They've gotta ways to go then, no guesses then, huh?

I heard about a group of guys who are starting a band and they named themselves Duvet.

It's a cover band.

One of the 3 year old Leghorns developed Ascites. Swelled like a balloon, poor girl. Couldn't believe the amount of fluid that came out. Lots of little pebbles in the oviduct. I'll post pictures in the other thread later.

Butchered 2 other Leghorns and both were covered up in fat. Fatty liver also. These hadn't started laying this year after the molt. I was blaming the squirrels for eating all the feed. Maybe not. Last Leghorn is laying regularly.

Point of view please. Is it better to butcher the new pullets or the turning 2 this year hens? I hatched the pullets and intended them for meat, but they are pumping the eggs out. 9 out of 12 eggs daily. Way too much for us.

Do you feed treats?
