Hi everyone. I love this site. I've found a lot of valuable info on here from experienced folks. I want to share something with you all. When it comes to bbb, please don't purchase these birds as pets. Or accept them for free as I did. Turkeys are wonderful and very social. I don't regret...

I have tons of pics. I love these. I was not expecting to love turkeys as much as I do. I will post some when I have more experience on this site.

Well I would be concerned about the not getting up at all but. How old is he? I've got one that is past his point of processing and really has limited time left. These poor guys aren't bred to be kept alive long. It's so very sad but we have to think of how their excess weight affects their...

I'm so glad they are doing well!

Yes I know! I def couldn't eat them. But after researching for several hours over the past week, I have come to the conclusion that I can't keep my bbb any longer. He is too big and his bones and organs are prob already stressed. So sad. I've had him since he was about a week old. I hate what...

My BBB R 3 yrs old. They're pets 1 male 2 female. Separated because the male is huge and afraid he'll kill females. Just saw him do the stomp a week ago and several times since then. Exactly same posture as when mating except no female under him.[/quot Turkeylady3 your bbb are 3 yo??? How do...

Hard to tell at this age. Did you find out if male or female? So sweet. Def looks like bbb

Crumbler how are these guys? So cute. They look like hens at this stage. So hard to tell. Although the balding on both does make them look like toms. What's the update?
