turkey hen

I have a Turkey hen who is supposedly a Sweetgrass X Standard bronze, but I have reason to believe her mother was actually a midget white, from the photos of her mother and siblings. I am just curious as to what she is. I can’t find any pictures that look like her, she has white wing stripes...

my Turkey hen is a big egg producer, she has been laying almost everyday for the last month. Today she layed an odd egg, it looked normal except for an extra thin shell that light shown through and on almost every dark brown spot on the egg, there were 2-5 white 3D bumps, felt rather pokey to...

Logically I know that there’s very little that could’ve been and even less that I can do now. My main suspicion is that something got the poor little guy. If he had been sick or injured, the hen would’ve stayed with him. If he were stuck, he would be chirping and the hen would be with him...

My female white breasted turkey is now about 8-9 months. Have had since hatchlings. This particular one has been my favorite, very friendly and social. Randomly the past week has been attacking me everytime I go near them. It is only her and another female. Her littermate then pecks at her when...

I have some royal palm eggs that my turkey hens laid and they are developing. One of my turkey hens (Delia) is sitting on her clutch but my Serama hen (pancake) is hell bent on hatching some turkey eggs too. She steals two eggs from Delia and sits on them. She can completely cover two and I’ve...

As per my previous thread, I'm getting my turkey tom a new mate. But it's a surprisingly hard thing to do, since a LOT of farms in my area stopped raising them due to covid. Recently I've found someone who's willing to part with a hen, but it's a 3-4 year old. Can a hen of such an advanced age...

First post here! I feel like I’ve got a very interesting situation and I wanted to know if anyone else here has had a similar experience! Recently, one of my family’s hens (lovingly named Snoodle) has begun acting very much like a Tom. Keep in mind she’s two years old, and has laid and had her...

...Because I can't rehome my toddler! 😆 Location: Brush Prairie, WA (between Vancouver and Battle Ground) Hi there! I have a heritage bronze gobbler that needs to go. I'll miss my fluffy boy but he's decided my toddler is competing with him for mates. He tried showing my son who's boss, ahem...

I have a 5 month old turkey hen that has just randomly laid down in front of me and she'll go unresponsive and for about 5-10 minutes she'll just lay down and breathe really heavy and droop her wings and then she'll kind of wake up and start running around again. I thought that maybe it was just...

Here is my turkey in my birdbath with my chickens!

Since I'm here I might as well ask this question too. My turkeys have been mating and I think my hen will have turkey babies soon! I was wondering how to keep her and the eggs safe. Their cage is made out of wood and has 2 sections, the outside one with wire roof and the "inside" one with wooden...

I just uploaded this video on my turkey Susan. She has a pimple like growth that I am concerned about.

Hello everybody! Thank you for all of the help and responses on my first post about my hen Donnatella. She is currently doing better and has gained some weight. We gave her MG feed and grounded up corn pieces with water. I guess Turkeys enjoy that. We also put a nutrient and vitamin powder in...

I currently have two turkeys right now, a Tom and a Hen. The hen is having some problems right now. She is having watery feces and she is throwing up. The vomit is looks like a water but a little white. Yesterday I realized that she wasn't eating but she drank and ate this morning. Her feces is...

I am in desperate need of help. When this happens this site is usually the place I end up going. I know here I can get some of these random questions and concerns I have answered. So I have one hen sitting on a half dozen or so eggs and a turkey who is sitting on if I had to guess 30 or so...
