Give me the dirt on turkeys

[mom of silkies]

Should I keep them off grass completely for those 8 weeks?

 

[feedman77]

No let them out to eat bugs grass and roam.

They love that.

 

[mom of silkies]

What kind of turkeys do you have?

 

[feedman77]

Too many lol.

Bourbon reds. Narragansett. Blue slate. Chocolates. Royal palms.

I picked up my chocolate turkeys!!!!!!

 

[feedman77]

Congrats.

Hope you enjoy them. My turkey babies are a hoot.

Thanks! yeah I love them, even though I just got them! They are eating and drinking already-they are good babies! I was surprised how different they are personality wise from chickens! Instead of running from me they ran to me! I love them!

All but two of my turkeys were killed by the dog I just got!!!! (I gave the dog back to it's previous owners immediately and ordered more turkeys!) I'm so sad! Why? in two minutes did the stupid dog kill all but two of my precious turkeys????

I'm just mad and sad all at the same time,I hope the next batch will have better luck...
