It's been an up-hill struggle with the turks this year. At the start of the season I didn't have any fit hens, with Goldie at deaths door and her daughter Phoenix showing erratic behaviour. I had thought I'd got Phoenix and Goldie back to health, but they eventually died. Worst was Goldie who died in the nest box after laying 4 eggs.
Thankfully my new hen turq is doing well with Rudolph and I think she now has three 2nd round chicks. She's also sat on two of Goldie's eggs which I swapped for infertile ones. If they do hatch they'll be a week or so late. The other two eggs are under the bourkes.
The pictures are of the young Cinnamon turq from the 1st round.
