I got a pair of khaki campbells and I went to feed them the otherday when the goats spooked them they both flew all the way to the pond. I have never heard of cambells flying that far as it was close to 100yards but they both made it. I was wondering do most cambells fly pretty good?
Yupp wild turkeys fly very well I did at one time raise them. I was talking about two I had bought that was weaker in the wings than the rest of the turkeys I had.
Yea If they fly evernight to roost that high they should be able to fly fine. I've had wild ones thats been in a pen there whole life and could hardly fly.
Would a heritage Tom that big have any leg problems? I no they grow slower but a 40lb turkey is alot of weight. I havnt had any probs with my turkeys flying but It looks like a 40 pound turkey would have a hard time getting airborn.
I got another tom and he's a mix breed of some kind but I weighted him today and he's just 18 pounds. he's four years and just weights 18 pounds. How come now days I can't find a turkey that weighs up to what the stanard calls for?
