3 Free Poultry Feeds: Azolla, Acorns, and Olives
มุมมอง 3292 ปีที่แล้ว
I meant to post this before the previous video on our custom turkey feed mix. Anyway turkeys should always have access to grass and small plants. Since that's not always possible, here are three other free poultry foods that are high in essential fats and other nutrients. The most surprising is azolla, a ferny water plant that forms on the tops of ponds. Check it out more at the Azolla Foundati...
Heritage Turkey Feeding Strategy and Custom Feed Mix
มุมมอง 7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a custom heritage turkey feed mix that has been working well for year-round feeding. This is much more complete than just plain crumbles. You can make your own ratio- I currently use 3 parts starter, 2 parts scratch, and 1/2 part each of sunflower seeds, oats, and barley. Poults will still need the plain starter, and hens will still need a calcium source such as oyster shell. They also n...
Cheap and Easy Turkey Watering Buckets V2.0

Turkey Drama! 4-Way Turkey Punk Gang Fight
มุมมอง 8532 ปีที่แล้ว
Filmed fall of 2021. I ended up with 4 adolescent males which weren't sold by fall, in addition to the Golden Palm and Bourbon Red toms I already had. Let's just say that with 6 males in the yard there is a lot of drama! This one was pretty funny, basically a 4-way neck wrestling match. BTW only 2 ended up in the freezer, I sold the nicer Red Palm jake as a pet and kept the feisty one(his name ...

Mass Turkey Hatching Setup Part 2 Initial Brooder Setup

Here is what I've learned by trial and error regarding initial brooder setup for turkey poults. I use a 150 - 250W heat lamp(depending on ambient temp), a 16 x 24" heating plate, and a kiddie pool brooder(all covered in previous videos).
Mass Turkey Hatching Setup Part 1

Natural Treatment for Poultry Diseases such as Toxoplasmosis?!!
มุมมอง 8122 ปีที่แล้ว
I had previously uploaded a video showing the treatment of toxoplasmosis with the antibiotic spiramycin. This antibiotic is not approved for poultry in the U.S., and has possible side effects of misused. However there is a natural treatment which may be effective for toxoplasmosis and upper respiratory diseases in general- good old black elderberry(sambucus nigra)! I'll pin as the top comment t...

Stencilled Red Palm- the Calmest, Sweetest Turkey Breed
มุมมอง 1.5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The Red Palm is created by combining Bourbon Red and Royal Palm. Most look like a prettier version of a wild turkey, but about 30% take a tan look with white stencilling. This variety is in our opinion the calmest, sweetest breed of heritage turkey. They make great pets and companion birds.

Deep Litter System for Poultry Waste Management
มุมมอง 6103 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's my version of the 'deep litter' system for managing poultry waste. It uses a 1-foot deep box filled with wood chips placed under the roosts to absorb the droppings. For just a few birds I turn the chips when they look dirty, and for lots of birds they would be turned daily. After one year, it is changed.

    I bought my first turkey only because I really wanted baby chicks… tractor supply had an online deal that would give me one turkey and niine baby chicks for $20 bucks and I was paying about $35-$45 for just 10 baby chicks. So I placed a few orders and I discovered I love the turkeys then I started placing two or three orders a week because I just really wanted the turkeys, but they purposely started shipping all the animals in one container that would eventually cause so much stress or trauma that if they didn’t arrive dead, they would die within a few days, they even started shipping extra turkeys in case some of them died, but it didn’t matter because they would end up dying eventually within a few days. I started placing separate orders at different times so they wouldn’t ship them together, but then they just started sending me chicks only.. I would complain and they would re-order and it would be just chicks and after about four or five times they must’ve gotten sick of me because they raised the price where it actually cost more to order that bundle then to order the turkeys individually. When a baby turkey dies, it’s like a kitten or a puppy but worse because a baby turkey will love you instantly.. I never did eat any of my turkeys, but I would always joke and say I wonder if the turkeys taste better because they really love me.

    We also raised 5 turkeys. My sister took 4 back to her farm, and we kept one. As a pet. She is our special treasure. Smart, loving, and nothing like what we were all taught about turkeys. She will always be with us always. She greets us every day. Talks to us. Runs after us. Sits with us. Takes a nap when we sit with her. Her name is sweetpea. We are so glad she never went back to the farm.Her bothers ended up in the freezer. Thanks for encouraging everyone to re-evaluate turkeys..

In the 2d generation i got from the white hen 6 red palm looking hens and 1 little tom-tom undefined colours but big. So the spanish black are bigger and stronger then their father, a royal palm. He is aggressive but his sons keeping him away from me. If that isnt evidence for their integrity and loyalty then i dont know.

    My wife is Mexican and for some reason believes turkeys and chickens should only be fed whole corn like the bags of deer corn you see in stores. She won't listen to me when I point out that they need more than just corn. We use to have 30 chickens now we have maybe 10 counting chicks (she likes to cook the older ones). Someone gave us 25 turkeys (He incubated too many eggs) had over 70 mostly grown turkeys that kept getting out blocking traffic which is why he gave is them. He already talking about giving us more plus a large amount of his ducks and geese. He need to learn not to incubated so many. We live in a small trailer park, not sure where we gonna put them all. Ofcourse my wife don't think of this just think "yes give me total".🤦🏻‍♂️ does anyone have any cheap feed ideas? I'm between jobs and can't afford all this. I know they need more than just corn.
