Hello Everyone

Hello Everyone!

I'm a first time chicken and turkey owner and my husband is not. He has done 4H and AG back in high school. Me, I've had cats and dogs my whole life. We have 20 chickens (hens and roosters) an we have 4 turkeys who are funny and love to follow us everywhere.
Any advice is welcomed and is always appropriated as I am clueless as to what to do with any of this flock.

Our flock is fairly young.
Chickens are about 4 months old ( I really think this is right)
Turkeys are 1 month old (June 30 / July 1; dates they hatched)

Welcome to BYC from Middle Tennessee Keep a close eye on your poults for another 4 weeks. Chicks are good mentors. Once they are 8 weeks old, their pretty indestructible--but until then they find really creative ways to commit suicide.
