    BB White Turkeys

    thank you for the reply. I have one more question. How old do BB white turkeys have to be to butcher? I have really grown attach to one of the hens. If I'm sitting in the backyard she will waddle on over and sit right next to me hoping that I will give her a treat. It will be hard to let her go...

    Our 4 week old chicks playing in the yard! : -)
