Turkeys...Those Big Feathered Dogs

[Duckling and Spider]

Ha ha! Well if you see her, you can tell her she's welcome to hang out here incognito. We won't tell!

I have not actually met her. Is it okay if I stick around?

Hey guys Hillaire here... so I lost 2 more turkey poults today I am going to put some nutridrench in the water an oz to a quart right? The brooder has plenty of space and underneath the heat lamp is 100. they have access to feed Im not sure if they are piling at night or what maybe flipping over on their backs when I'm at work so I'm not there to rescue them...It really stinks... at 10$ a bird I hate to lose them... I'm down to 8 now

My dear, 90* is sufficient for the first week. Depending on their rate of feathering, they may even prefer cooler.
Nutridrench straight into the mouth. Be careful not to aspirate them. That means basically drowning them.
Good luck!

Only if you live in the vast wastelands of the north....

I have turkeys, then. Lots. Too many.

Need a little help with odd behavior... I have an RP hen burring her head and fanning her feathers. Up until this week she was constantly sleeping during the day.
