Black head is a local disease; contact the local authorities like your local extension for correct info. Not all areas have this.
Turkeys like to sit on my car, and have scratched it , pecked it and roosted on it. THey like to watch me work with one eye up close. ANd the boys strut and parade to impress me.
I could not process the first birds I hatched-- I was too in love with them. THe next generation went into the freezer.

I put my birds in when cold rain is expected; otherwise many roost up high; if not high enough we move them to safer quarters for the night. They love to travel around. THe youngester that I cooped up have not done as well as those that freerange.
