A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

It is hard. I don't panic anymore, I used too though. If you pay close attention (and I know you do) you can normally stop it before it wipes you out. From what I've been able to read,the only two things that kill it are Steam or ammonia. High ammonia levels in broiler houses and short lifespans are why we don't hear about it in the commercial setting. Like I said,I only see flair ups when we get a lot of rain. Like NOW.

I only have 18 left but I should be able to control it much better when it comes again. I know that it will.

That sucks, after around 10 hatches total I am still getting only half-decent hatch rates. The turkey hatch this year was my biggest success. Until right around now anyways.

I had to laugh at you referring to Aurora as the "local dealer"! We call her the "poult pusher"!

You guys are funny!

 

[JRNash]

I meant Poult but the auto correct had other ideas

Kathy....speaking of funny....your avatar is killing me!! What a look!!

Aurora can sell those bug eyed babies as quickly as they hatch.

Hey speaking of bug eye babies.....we need more pictures folks!!

Mtbourbons, I'm rooting for you.

Memphis, Hope to have pix of the poults next Thursday.

Most of my losses this year have been due to aggressive behavior or heat. Unfortunately, I'm a slow learner when it comes to birds. I'm working to change the dynamic in my flocks.

RJ what kinds of birds are we talking about?
