My four new arrivals are settling in well. Blue is a little shy opposed to the black mottled his age. Now the black mottled ran my black and white mottled pullet/hen bantam Cochin off. I thought it was funny. They seem like they have grown quite a bit since I picked them up. Still waiting to hear about some fertile Turk eggs or some hens or pullets. ( or what ever a young Turk female is called) I will get pictures up once they are in a more permanent set up.

turkeys can give imnunity to mareks disease in chickens after prolonged exposer.There is the risk of black head though.I heard that you can spread dry turkey droppings in the chicks food to also give them immunity.

What do you think of this Millies color? Personally I think it's pretty good, but I would like other opinions.

Quote: Technically they get the turkey's strain of mereks, which is what the original vaccine for mereks was made from (yes, book nerd alert) All in all getting turkeys is a good thing IMO to "vaccinate" . If you aren't planning on eating the turkeys metronizadole is supposed to cure blackhead, you can buy it online as "fish zole" But it's an off lable med, so no way to be sure if the turkey would be safe to eat.

Where did you get them and what is the 3rd one. Nice color on the mille but neck appears too long.

The 3rd bird is Brown-Red. A friend of mine bred the white, and the brown-red. I got the mille from the feedstore.
