pens

I have had ducks for about 6 years, and am almost to the 1 year mark w my turkeys. No other birds or fowls before we got our first ducks. So. I consider myself a relative newbie.... although I have learned a ton! I have recently separated breeding pairs of turkeys (they decided spring had...

I’m trying to get a rough breeding program outline down on paper for up to 10 breeding groups. I’d love to hear your feedback! ((note: this is a hobby, but one I’d like to take further in the future.) 1. What is the smallest number of hens you’d put into the breeding pen with a rooster? 2...
