Properly dressed hen

We ended up getting our hen an old dog jacket and cut in some wing holes. Success

no more horrible wounds!
Hopefully her husband, a golden heritage and her have babies. I will post pics when we get babies. I already put 4 eggs under chickens who have gone broody. They hatched ducks before so we will see. Now a little question. Does he need to mate with her every day to keep getting fertile eggs?

No they don't need to mate daily but if housed together they likely will. Just my own personal opinion but the dog jacket looks to be a little to much for a turkey, having much more coverage and weight to it then say a saddle specifically made for a turkey. But I may be wrong since Ive never tried either before. I hope you have poults soon.

Well they did it!

A heritage golden tom x broad breasted white. His/her name is cranberry sauce, It was the toms name.

Great idea, let us know how it works out and congratulations on the baby.
