How old is it? Generally you can't tell the sex of a poultry until it's 3-4 months. Sometimes young toms will display sooner. Getting more turkeys down the road won't necessarily help that it's too familiar with chickens already. The younger you get it away from chickens the better off it will be. Don't over handle it either, human bonded turkeys can often turn aggressive toward their human keepers.

Turkeys are a whole different type of poultry than others.

It's around 2 1/2-3 mos. I don't handle it unless I'm moving her. I just worry about it being lonely. But the pullet is just about old enough to start integrating.... Maybe another 2-3 weeks.....?

It is a difficult situation. Not much you can do but see how it goes. If it turns aggressive or gives your birds problems than it's best to butcher and try again. I learned the hard way about goofy turkeys and their ways. I hope it's a hen too.

I'm losing it...I had the funniest dream last night..You all were in my Dream. We were at a town or someplace I've dreamt of before and in these carts almost like a roller coaster and zooming up and down trails..We were laughing our heads off....We somehow were lost inside a building and needed to whisper although we were acting silly and laughing too much..Aryeh got mad at us and called us stupid girls.....I had to tell you I took you on another adventure with me..
I honestly had a blast...

What will you do with the eh call duckling crosses that you hatched?

What will you do with the eh call duckling crosses that you hatched?

They aren't crosses..They are pure. I had to look back through pictures of Lucky to see that her Drake is a different colour but looks the same as Lucky. He is from Penelope and Lucky and her Hen is from Lily and Lucky. Also I'm not used to my old Bloodline anymore so these are Calls just not like my new flock..
I'm keeping all of these if Hens and one Drake.
