Soooooo


I got a pair of burbon red turkey and a year old jake son. Tell me, how does one quarantine these beasts? I ivermectined them and threw them in with the goats.

They are getting well acquainted right now.

I have a building I use just for quarantining. After shows and such. Turkeys live in a extra large dog crate. I let them out inside the building once in a while..

They are not happy during quarantine.

Quote: I didnt know that, my maran hen lays well, although she stopped all winter she is laying again. I think the choice for these big marans may have been a bad choice for me and my area. They need a huge coop and plenty to free range in. I should just toss them over the fence let them do their thing lol

BTW, thanks so much for posting the info you did about that hygro/thermo sensor I bought, I love it!
You are most welcomed!
I didn't have the chance to use it yet, but it seems very accurate!
I'm so happy I bought it!

Quote: well this batch does, the cuckoo and the two I have didnt seem that bad. These omg they are horrid
Sure they are blacks, and not blue? Or are they dry already. Is it the new line you got from the breeder?

yikes oh nos!

Quote: I see..... how long do you think I shuold keep them locked up in the goat pen? she said they went into their little pen everynight, but I am afraid they dont know what home is here yet. I hope the goat pen works good enough for them at night and they keep out of the dogs yard. very friendly boogers, spoiled and follow me around already.

I have been trying to sell mine. No one wants them.

I had a guy call for hens last week said he had Cuckoo Marans, I asked him if he wanted more. He response was. 'Only if they lay more than an egg a week, like mine do"


I still have them, still waiting for a decent egg count from them.

That was an interesting find!

Make sure you handle them alot, so they like you. Turkey's can be mean if they decide you're something to attack. LOL
