More hatchlings update.

The other turkey hatches four. 2 turkey hens hatches just 7 eggs this time.

They brood in a new place and got disrupted midway.

One developing egg was broken, 3 eggs got missing. The male turkey crack out a poult (died later) out of an egg, in some mornings he will chase them from the nest or lead other grown turkeys there to make loud weird noises.

A7 nice one you're doing well. Your turkeys are local right?
Re: Meet My Turkey Mums & Chicks by Musty4ahmed1: 2:56pm On May 09, 2022
I experienced something shocking with my Turkey yesterday, the grown up big male seems to have beaten the male and female young turkey to death in the same cage, I heard struggles over night in cage, only to wake up to see them dead remaining the bigger turkey. My question is, can the big male turkey becomes endangered to the smaller turkey in the same cage? Thank you!
Re: Meet My Turkey Mums & Chicks by Liadi2(m): 9:24pm On May 19, 2022
Turkey are aggressive in nature. That is why the ratio of male to female is 1:4. 1 male four female

Update

I have released the 7 poults from last hatch to join other turkeys outside today. They're 2 months 3 weeks old.

They integrate well with the older turkeys (parents & 3 senior siblings), no injuries or serious threat so far.

There is a Mom sitting on 14 eggs since last week, I am expecting new hatchlings soon.

New hatchlings update

5 poults hatches yesterday. They're over a week early.

I am hoping more will hatch from the 7 remaining eggs.
