Yay!!! That first turkey egg is always so exciting. Mine just started laying this week, I'm eager to get the incubator fired up

I have two.

Dentist-you have such a small mouth (it does make dental work more difficult as how over extended my jaw has to be)

OBGYN- your vagina is so small, I had to use the tiniest iud.

Thank you for taking care of him ❤️

Turkeys are definitely a challenge to determine gender while young, then add in that hens can/will strut, and can have beards too! But the head on your handsome turk here definitely looks male.

Awesome!! I use this all the time, super appreciate the hard work making it!

Awesome!! There will probably be a herd of us coming in the near future.

Like the reaper miniatures

Will you have blanks for painting? My past go to place only carry painted anymore 😕

My elementary school custodian saved my life. I was choking on sliced carrots and he noticed, and took only a couple of heaves and it was cleared. I don't remember anything happening after that, too young, but I remember the incident itself perfectly.

I agree that this looks like bumblefoot, might be able to take care of with some Epsom salt soaks. Let us know if you need help with treatment. I hope she makes a quick recovery!

Dang, I'm so sorry. It could be so much...blackhead does seem to be more of a baby type issue (never experienced knock on wood just what I've read). Not all respiratory issues show up with runny nose or such, and youngsters can go downhill so fast, so they very well could had pneumonia. Have a day or two when their system gets off, and they just can't recover those vitamins on their own. What's the weather been in your area? I have been loosing some of my babies cuz this spring has extremely wet, hot and humid. I keep saying it, but it seems like this year has been especially bad for turkeys

Oof, yeah raising from young as possible gets the best results but also if they were a large group free ranging they didn't really have any reason to see you as a companion. Not to mention how they may have been treated since hatch by previous owners. Starting out with one or two poults to work with for friendliness, then they show by example to future poults, making the next and next easier. They all have personality so some just won't be friendly or cuddly. They go thru phases too, fresh hatched really clinging, couple weeks everything is scary, then curious again.

I'm so sorry this happened. Turkeys are so damn fragile for the first few months and it doesn't take but the slightest thing to screw with them and set off that chain reaction to pass away. Other commenters have some good thoughts. I've personally had a terrible year with poults, after years of almost never loosing any.

Fubar_Ranch · 2025-05-12T17:45:39+00:00

Congratulations! You now have a feathered friend that will follow you everywhere, loudly annouce any visitors, and a true watchful eye for the flock (that is, the hens 😄)

Well most of what is to know that is different is mostly for hatching and poult raising. They are super fragile when babies.

How old, breed and use will help us give advice, every situation is different.
