There were some young turkeys at the Jones auction last Saturday night, old enough to be outside in this weather but not full grown.

Are you looking for a particular breed of turkey?

It may be too early to find any guineas that are youngsters, since most folks are just now starting to get their first round of guinea eggs hatched. The guineas (at least at my house) start laying several weeks after the turkeys start laying in the Spring.

Is this rain ever going to stop?? I came home and apparently the wind has come up at some point and time cus I came home to 2 of my outside brooders/ coops turned over!!! Everyone is fine but still skeered me when I seen them!!

I have a question...If you get birds the same age as your birds 9-10 weeks do they need to be quarantined before they are introduced to your flock? If so how long? And if I quarantine what do I look for? These birds are hatchery stock.

thanks

If you got the birds directly from a hatchery or someone with a NPIP flock, and you have checked them to be sure there are no respiratory problems, mites or other obvious problems, I would just quarantine them for a few days to be sure they are settled into your environment before adding the stress to them of meeting new chickens and establishing the pecking order.

If the new birds began as hatchery stock but have been living somewhere other than a hatchery for the past 9-10 weeks, I would give them a little longer on the quarantine, since they may have been exposed to something since they left the hatchery.

coming from a hatchery originally doesn't mean that the birds are any healthier than birds acquired from an individual nor does it automatically mean that they have had any immunizations. It does however mean that (theoretically) that they started out healthy.

It's always a good idea to quarantine any new birds, regardless of where they come from. Watch them to make sure that they behave normally, no crazy head shaking, no standing alone with their eyes closed, no nasal discharge. That kind of stuff. I'd keep them apart from the flock at least 2 weeks. Just my 2 cents.

Hi P&B,

I slept late so I'm not sure if it rained this morning or not. Personally, I love this weather. I'm tired of not being able to walk through my yard, but I'm not a big fan of heat either. And give me a dark, overcast morning with some thunder in the background, and I'll show you how to sleep as late as possible.
