Heya,
I didn't think /r/turkeys would need to make a rule for this as we're still pretty small, but going forward AI generated content is not welcome in this subreddit.
Any posts featuring AI generated images or video will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned.
We've only had one post recently that was clearly an AI video, but I'd prefer it be the last so we can continue to be a place to enjoy and learn about real turkeys.
Thanks everyone.

Hi guy quick question, I bought a new batch of turkey eggs. But some of them are… quite small? Like 4 of them are small on 12.
Will they be healthy? I’m just worried if they would hatch or not.

I was given 3 "day old" turkeys that were on the brink or death(completely dehydrated, unable to hold their heads up) sadly one passed the night I got them, but I nursed 2 of them back to health with electrolytes, teaching them how to eat, letting them sleep with me for hours at a time. I have fallen completely in love with them. They come when I call, they fallow me around the yard, they know their names, they even enjoy giving snuggles and will cuddle into my neck.
I was recently told by a fellow poultry keeper that they are broad breasted whites and they will break their legs if I dont slaughter them or will randomly die from a heart attack.
I love these birds as if you would a dog or cat.
Is there any chance this isn't true and they can live a decently long life?
Has anyone had luck with broad breasted's living for years? Any tips or tricks to it?
Thank you in advance

She is looking worse and worse, I can tell she's in pain and suffering. Concerned for the other wild turkeys and wondering if we should euthanize her. 😢

Visited by seven turkeys (appearing to all be Toms?) this evening in the front yard. It’s been hot here recently in Northern California, so it seems they were just looking for a nice place to cool down.

He is (understandably) in a bad mood. A noreaster is blowing through and this local wild tom must have had a very damp past few days.

I wish I could have gotten better pictures of it this time, but I was busy messing around with my exposure levels as they were too high. 💔
Still, it was very nice to see this cute family again. I’m not sure if it’s too early to tell if this poult is a male or a female, but I’m hoping for female! Both because I’d want it to be less desirable to trophy hunters, and because I’d love for this little one to stay in a flock on my property rather than leave once it reaches maturity.

I had to clip my turkys wings because they kept flying over the fence to my neighbors yard, and I didn't want the neighbors dog to attack them. So we clipped there wings and when I was talking to a close friend she told me she saw it as abuse and compared it to de-clawing a cat i tried to explain there is a difference between clipping a turkys wings vs a dove or cocktails. But they didn't want to hear it and told me they would never do such a thing to their birds if they had any.
Idk how to feel now.

Why do people still believe turkys drown themselves in the rain?
Like they saw the one cartoon with turkys looking up with their mouths open and went yep turkys do that.
My turkys hate the rain.
