    My Toms are Obsessed with Me - Is this Normal Behavior?

    Yes, I believe I will try to find a couple more hens. What is unusual is that they really do not pay the hen any attention at all. They all hang together, but they never strut or show off around her. They must be saving their energy for me, because as soon as they see me it is non stop strutting...

    My Toms are Obsessed with Me - Is this Normal Behavior?

    They are quite the characters, aren't they??! I can have the worst day on earth, but they always make me smile and laugh with their antics. They gobble when they see me pull up in my car. And I have literally had them chase me down my driveway following after the car. It has definitely been a...

    My Toms are Obsessed with Me - Is this Normal Behavior?

    I bought my 4 Narragansetts at just 2 days old. They are now 6 months old. I ended up with 3 toms and 1 hen. My toms are so incredibly sweet to me. But they are obsessed with me. The dominant one has now started pecking on my glass door looking for me in the morning. They all hang around...

    turkeys

    Welcome to the forum!! I have 4 Narragansetts. I have had them since they were 2 days old. They are now going on 6 months old. They are the silliest, most fun creatures to have around. I bought mine strictly for pets. I would rather starve than eat mine ;) My house front and back is entirely...

    Muscovy Drake Trouble - Mating with my Chickens

    I have 2 Muscovy Drakes that I have raised since they were 3 weeks old. I was hoping for a mating pair, but that did not end up being the case. My favorite duck is now forcing himself on half my flock of chickens. This morning he was on my rooster and I am pretty sure he made contact with him...

    Need Help Sexing 3 Month Old Narragansett Turkeys.

    Awesome!!! I was hoping the last one would be female. I have another tom that was not in the picture. I have found the Toms to be the most friendly toward me. In fact, they are downright obsessed with me. I never realized how funny and personable turkeys could be. They actually get on my deck...

    Need Help Sexing 3 Month Old Narragansett Turkeys.

    I know for sure that one of the turkeys pictured is a tom. I believe I also have a hen, but I am unsure of one of them. I am including several pictures. In the first 2 pics, the tom is the closest to the hen house. I believe the one in the middle is possibly a hen? Definitely unsure of the last...

    Are Muscovy Ducks Lazy?

    Thanks everyone! I feel better. I was starting to get worried, even though they seem healthy and happy. I am a new to ducks, so I worry a lot. I guess kinda like if they were a newborn baby..which I have never had either, lol.. They are an absolute delight to have though. They love to snuggle on...

    Are Muscovy Ducks Lazy?

    I have two 7 week old baby muscovy ducks. They don't really walk around much, but prefer to lay down. I have seen them both run, so I don't think they have issue with their legs. They just seem lazy. They will walk a "very" short ways and then they both plop down and they both plop down at the...

    4 Week Old Baby Turkeys Fighting??

    I have 4 baby turkeys that turned 4 weeks old today. They are all very loving toward each other, but this morning 2 of them were fighting. I think they are both Toms. Both had their feathers pulled down toward the ground and one had his tail feathers completely spread. It was kinda funny to see...

    3 Week Old Turkey doing a Mating Dance???

    I have four 3 week old Narrangansett turkeys. I had them outside playing today since it is warm and one of the baby turkeys pulled their wing down and started dancing around the other ones. What was he/she doing? Does that mean it is a Tom. It looked just like some of the "dances" I have seen...

    The Tetra Tint thread.. (Photos, info) ❤

    Here is my Australian Shepherd Neko with his brood of Tetra Tints. I really think he believes he is a mama hen. He started protecting them from the minute I brought them home. He will not let any of my cats or older chickens get close to them.

    Baby Turkeys!! Breed Unimportant. Located in Lexington, NC

    I would like to buy a few baby turkeys. Breed is not very important to me since I want them only for pets. I am located in Lexington (Triad Area), North Carolina. I know I can buy them online, but I certainly do not need 20 baby turkeys, lol.

    Forsyth Fowl Fanciers Spring Show(Winston-Salem, NC) - March 31, 2012

    How long is everything supposed to last? Of course, this has to be my husband's day to work, but he gets off around 12:30. Hoping it lasts long enough for him to take me. Btw, does it cost anything to get in? This would be my first poultry show, so I am a newb about this kind of thing.

    Egg Bound or Constipated? Need Advice, Opinions Please

    Yes, never had a problem before. She lays almost daily. I got a shot from the vet today. I forgot what he told me it was. It sounded kinda like pitocin..but that was not the word he used. It also had calcium in it. I gave it to her about 30 minutes ago and put her back in her nesting box. I hope...

    Egg Bound or Constipated? Need Advice, Opinions Please

    She is probably a year old now. She was still on the nesting box this morning when I let the chickens out. Her abdomen does not appear swollen, but I swear it feels like an egg is trapped above her vent toward the top of her tail feathers. Is that even possible? I did not feel a tube running up...
