    Will not roost in pen

    You have to train them to not roost on your porch. You need to provide better roosts than what you are showing. The roost bars are too small and too close to the wall. If they are heritage turkeys, provide them with wood roosts that are at least 3" in diameter. If they are broad breasted...

    What age do you slaughter turkeys

    It depends whether they are broad breasted or heritage varieties. Broad breasted - 3 to 6 months of age. Heritage varieties won't be full sized until they are a year old.

    Synthetic "frames" and foundation are made. The synthetic foundation is coated with bees wax to give the bees a starting place to build their cells. I have not heard of anyone making synthetic cells which appears to be what you are asking.

    The cappings which are removed to let the honey be extracted are the wax used to make candles, etc. The cells are left for the bees to refill.

    I believe so but have never checked them out. They are an annual. I have tried to germinate the seeds without success but they germinate well in their xeric environment. Too much water and they don't germinate. Mine are gone to seed mostly.

    Those appear to be the wild native sunflowers. They will tolerate a little water but come up naturally where the water is sparse. They grow wild along the road right of ways. I have many of them in my unwatered driveway but none in the nearby watered grass except along the edges.

    There was no fighting. The two had been peacefully (if you ignore the Legbar's growling) for more than an hour. The outsider, after checking things out, chose a different nest box.
