This male has good enough color to show if he's heavy enough most of the ones that have the best color run a little small he's a beauty

Denny I will have to get a newer pic of the tom to see what you think.  Getting a pic of him displaying is easy.  Poor boy does it all day long hoping......... wink.png

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!

 

What breeds do I have?  More than any sane person would own.

I'm not sure why I'm thinking about raising turkeys. This is one of a gazillion pictures I've taken in my front yard of the wild turkeys that come and "strut their stuff" for weeks in the spring.  (And I don't have to feed them.  lau.gif)   But I still want to.

So can multiple toms get along? Is it similar with roosters that there will be one alpha male and the rest will try to be sneaky? Is there tom fighting? A good ratio of toms to hens? Or does it not matter?

 

Any good sticky on what to know about raising them?
