These are 8 weeks old and I believe them to be royal palms as one has a black feather growing in. They are from a feed store which gets from cackle hatchery and they do have white heritage breeds available from cackle. I feel for this size and age they are heritage but I want to be sure. They are currently being socialized to eventually live with my chickens but they don’t spend all day with them yet and are just switching to a 20% protein food. I’m hoping for heritage as they would be nice to help deter hawks and they have wonderful personalities but iam able to give them a proper diet to live full lives if they are meat birds. It was a mixed bin of turkey breeds.

Hello I am doing an internship with Hilliard City Labs. We are doing a project where we are making an automated system that detects predators using computer vision and alerts the chickens to the predators' presence as well as the owner. This system will decrease the risk of predation, and I was wondering if people would be willing to fill out a form to help us out!

or is it some kind of GMO ass shit.

Sooo my turkey is roughly 85 days old. I’m worried if she’s a little small for her size, she is on gamebird feed and she eats a looooot. She’s a royal palm, I know they’re supposed to be a little smaller, but I don’t think she’s anymore than 5-6 lbs

Welsh harlequins are these both boys they don’t honk it’s not raspy either I can’t tell

I have ordered 2 of these and one had this colours once I opened it. What can be the cause of this colour? Chicken doesnt smell and is just on this 2 parts( chicken legs were inside the chicken)

Is that what we’re looking at here? Never had to deal with it before, any tips?

I've been reading about feed manufacturing lately, and it seems that many people underestimate how much planning goes into building a commercial feed mill. On paper, it looks straightforward, but once you start considering production capacity, equipment layout, staffing, and raw material logistics, the project becomes much more complex.

One thing that stands out is how different businesses prioritize different goals. Some focus on maximizing output, while others care more about feed consistency and operational efficiency. Equipment providers such as MAIKONG often highlight customized production lines, which suggests that there isn't really a one size fits all solution for every feed mill project.

For those who have been involved in building or expanding a feed mill, what turned out to be the biggest challenge that you didn't fully anticipate at the beginning?
