    rooster chick,crowing, breeding hens

    around 4-6 months you can expect a clear crow from your cockeral. 17 weeks is when they say hens should lay. although like stated above they are individuals and you cant time it out by the exact week always. expect eggs from 17-20 weeks old. the rooster should be breeding as soon as the hens let...

    Is this a female Turkey? - NEW PICS & NEW TURKEYS!

    your bird is a jake. clear wattles and bright red on the face. im almost 100% just by a picture.(p.s. hens can strut up a storm and iv even heard them do a "gobble" before... so dont go by sounds or displays in domestic birds. go by weight, and the structure of the wattles up the snood.

    hello GQF

    Quote: really? you run one of these? IMHO nothing beats a proper home built cabinet incubator... when built properly they will last as long as you will run it for. replacing fans is dirt cheap, and if doin tape it's inexpensive as well as bulbs. coiling is a different story. but my HOME built...
