A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

[Goronson Chicks]

When I went out to visit with the girls yesterday morning, I couldn't find a few of them. I went into the barn to see where everyone was and Coco shot out of the turkey nest box. I looked in the nest box and found Big Bird was also in the turkey nest box. Since I was "LOOKING at her", she decided that she didn't want to be there anymore and left. I looked in the box to see if they had managed to lay any eggs while stacked in the box....and found one of my buff orpingtons. No eggs and 3 birds piled in a narrow 13" x 26" nest box

You'd think there were no other nest boxes in the barn to use?! My birds are weird!

I have no baby pictures to share but we had another sunny day yesterday.....the girls took their bug-hunting ventures very seriously

. Adding Coco has been really good for Big Bird - they seem to like going on adventures together.

Two turkeys and a chicken in one box would have made a great photo too!

It was a gradual discovery - otherwise I would definitely have provided a picture

Your birds aren't weird. Or, if they are, mine are too. I've had turkeys sitting on chickens in the little chicken boxes, waiting for the chicken to lay an egg so she could steal it. Because if you wait to get in the box after the chicken leaves, some other turkey might beat you to it.

Thank you to all who answered my question about the Ivermectin; I would have thanked you sooner but I've had a long week.

My broody BR hen's eggs are set to start hatching any day. I'm so excited! Has anyone else hatched poults lately?

 

[feedman77]

As of right now still nothing.    Maybe tomorrow morning when I get off of work...

Any luck on your hatch?
