A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

2 nd year in a row, same turkey hen has been a bad mother. :rant then she tried to take another hens poults..I am going to trade her off for tomatoes plants
This year she left her 4 two days old poults and went out partying. 40f ... found 2 crying by the unhatched eggs, one by the door crying and one in-between that I was sure was dead. I stuffed them all in my shirt while I set up and warmed up a dog cage brooder. About a half-hour I put them in the brooder, gave the almost dead one some nutidrench. He seems to be recovering... I will put him and his sibling with another hen tommorow.
texted someone that wanted 2 , which they picked up.
 
Turkeys should have rescue groups! LOL! I know there are chicken rescues. I've had great luck adopting older turkey hens. Ralphie rescued a couple turkeys with great results too.

It's cold this morning! 45...may be a record low.

Rescued turkeys are so grateful to be given better living conditions, they become lifelong lappers.

I really miss JJ and Ethel.
