    so we've had our turkeys a couple weeks and at first I thought it was cute that our burbon red tom wanted to roost on the porch rail right by the back door. (he'd tried to come in the house before we closed the door!) the first night he'd pooped over the rail to the ground below. gross but ok...

    how many clutches will a turkey hatch a year?

    we recently bought 3 turkeys, a tom and 2 hens. the hens were setting and we moved their nests. the guy we bought them from has moved nests before but we're 3hrs away and he didn't know if they'd hatch. we were happy when we had a total of 14 hatch between the 2 (about 45% hatch rate). they've...
