Read the threads in the Turkeys - Sticky Index.What can I do to prevent against Blackhead?
The breed is Turkey. The most common variety that is sold at this time of year by feed stores is the Broad Breasted White also known as Giant White. A heritage variety such as Royal Palm is still probably about a month away from being available.Here’s some pics of them...View attachment 1719394 View attachment 1719397 View attachment 1719407
Any idea of the breed?
Expect even more problems when they are adults. Raising poults with chicks causes the poults to imprint. When they grow up they are not able to understand that chickens are not turkeys and the results can be really bad for the chickens.I currently have 5 turkeys brooding with 14 chickens, my turkeys are evil to the chicks! Has anyone encountered this?
