A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Pretty much how I learned too. Not a bad way to learn.

We had a bunch of unbroken ponies I was supposed to stay away from. I got caught riding the stallion bareback with a rope on his nose lol

Now I'm pretty sure this is a hen flock, but is that last one black winged bronze?? Or is she hiding her primaries?

Black-Winged Bronze for sure.

 

[Bantambird]

Black-Winged Bronze for sure.

I guess I always assumed that bronze was the primary wild type, and that black winged bronze was more of a domestic color, but she sure proved me wrong!

She probably got that from your turkeys. Twenty minutes of distance is nothing to a roaming turkey.

It looks like I may be losing another one of my originals Miss Pebbles has been showing some slight balance issues lately. I was thinking maybe arthritis acting up with the cold. Tonight she has almost no balance. She's 9 1/2 years old. She and Sweet Pea are the last of my original turkey flock. I have her seperated with food and water closer. She has a strong appetite but her head is bobbing a bit and she can't really stand up.

So sorry to hear that

9 1/2 years is pretty cool though. Nice job.

This is for Bob. Page 65 in the cookbook.
It really is “Best Ever Pie Crust”!

9 1/2 years is pretty cool though. Nice job.

She passed away 2 days ago. I miscalculated though. She was 8 1/2. I have 1 original turkey left, Miss Sweet Pea.

In loving memory of my sweet Pebbles. She was always the leader of the broody bunch each year and had the shinniest feathers ever.
