My turkey eggs are rocking. 2 of them for sure.

These guys are going to be worse than ducks, they aren't due until Easter.

Fabulous! I've been hoping for turkey news.

Can I still have 1 or 2?

i have like 3 more weeks until the big swap meet!!!
im getting so excited for it.
know why?
haha bcuz even if i cant find any adult birds.
i am going to get either some straight run silkies, or bantam cochins (if i find cool colors, other than black and red)
plan on getting some turkey poults.
andddd if i can find some white calls i will even get some of them and just vent sex, sell males with my ducklings, and keep females.

and maybe if im real luck i will find some pied calls.

im counting down the days until i have babiesss.

Well then, get what makes grandma happy and sneak in a few birds for you and let her take care of grandpa, lol.

Yes, the 50 lb bag does last me a long time.

Quote:

CG, you should read up the reccomended feeding amount. Feeding just a few birds the 50lbs would go a long way. Remember adult ducks should be fed enough to clean up in 15 minutes or so.

Celtic, back to my angelwing drake.... you said to wrap wing, then wrap wing to body? I see tons of pics for wrapping body, but how do I wrap the wing first? Also, what should I use to wrap it? Medical tape? Vet wrap? Duct tape?

I can take pic of him if it helps to advise best course of action?

Duct tape on a duck,lol that would be cute!!!!!!
