Hey all, This is a turkey thread, so I have some questions about my sick poult.
I call him Sickie, and when you hold him to your ear, his breathing is crunchy. He also has this spot on his lower stomach where I am assuming his stomach closed, and it is very hard, purple, and blue with a little yellow-ish thing sticking out. The others have this spot but theirs isn't hard. He is a couple days younger than them and he isn't growing much as well. Sleeps a lot and flips over sometimes. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Any pics of your penciled fall fire. I have fall fire, and sweetgrass and been wondering what they would look like with penciling added. Haven't been able to find any pics of them anywhere. Only one hen pic from porters.

Some of my Pencilled Fall Fires.
Not the usual ones, as I'm selecting for this specific pattern.

They appear too dark for Pencilled Fall Fires. They carry one copy of C.
Would be a kind of Pencilled Red Phoenix (b'b' Ccg Rr pnpn).

Got the eggshell gender test results back today.

2 females
3 males.

Unfortunately, the one blue red bronze that died was one of the females. So I only have one female left who I'm hoping doesn't also suddenly croak.

Of course out of 5 chicks I would get only 2 females lol

Very beautiful birds, That tail feather penciling you have is awesome. All the penciling on both birds is so pronounced. Thank you for the pics .

I was just out doing my nightly turkey egg gathering, when a storm front came through with very heavy winds. I heard some cracking and popping turned around just in time to see one of my 50 foot pine trees cracking in half dropping top 25 foot. Luckily wind was from north east blowing top out in field and not on one of my turkey pens. Had one last year that did fall on one of the pens, not fun cutting tree out of my netting. Not looking forward to cutting it up tomorrow supposed to be in the 90's

Good thing you wasn't close to the tree. We are getting ready for a big thunderstorm tonight.. I wonder if it's part of the storm you had..
Nope your in Ohio..
