    Mean tom turkeys

    I am going to give them away our eat them. They are great watch dogs. They are free range in my years, and when ever someone comes in the gate, they are right there to protect the property. Trouble is, the guys picking up the trash, or delivering the water, are afraid to come in the yard now. Hahaha

    Mean tom turkeys

    I guess you are right about the broom stick. With me trying to become the top of the pecking order, they just seem too get more and more aggressive toward me. For some reason, when I pick up the broom stick, they turn and strut away. Go figure. Hahaha

    Mean tom turkeys

    I also used to break horses from bucking by tieing two tires to the saddle horn, and let one hang down on each side of the horse. He would go up, the tires would go up, when he came down, the tires would come down and slap him in the sides. Pretty soon, he would learn, if he didn't buck, he...

    Mean tom turkeys

    Hahaha, I too am an animal. When they put out their talons and jump up to try and get me, I am not afraid to kick them and show them who is boss. If they continue the bad behavior, I will get out my machete and cut off their head and eat them. Do you also call that animal abuse. I call it turkey...

    Mean tom turkeys

    I disagree, I want them to recognize me as the one who is at the top of the pecking order, not the broom.

    Mean tom turkeys

    Yes, I think you are right. I am now part of the pecking order. I have found, if I confront them, and wait for them to jump up and try and attack me like a fighting cock, and then when they jump up at me and expose their breast to me, I kick them. After one or two times kicking them, they go...

    Maybe that is why they used to chase the 5 girls at my house and leave me alone. But now I am competition. Hahaha

    Mean tom turkeys

    I have two Tom's and two hens. Until today, the toms would always been nice to me, but chase the other 5 people in the house. This morning, the two Tom's are making a difference noise and if I turn my back on them, they will attack me is it time to eat them, or what is the cause of this new...

    Sexing 8 week old poults

    I live in the Philippines. The brother of one of my house helpers gave me 6 1 day old poults. I sexed them then using the leg hanging or not technique and think I have 3 Tom's and three hens. They are now about 8 weeks old and I can't tell which ones looked like toms or hens, (I guess I should...

    Ok, my "geese", are about 2 months old now. I am planning to give a Tom and Hen to my wife's parents up in the mountains. 3 of mine are getting black feathers, while the other 3 are staying white. Can I assume the 3 with black feathers are Tom's and the all white ones are hens?

    My helper went to her parents house in the mountains Sunday, her day off. She brought me back pictures of the mamma and daddy of my mystery birds. You were right, they are turkeys. hahaha

    I just noticed that spell check changed my words. The bisayan word for goose is "gansa", and the bisayan word for turkey is "pabo". I think they just got confused with the translation.

    Thanks for all the help, I never thought of turkey. My six year old daughter calls them surprise mystery birds. She says we will see what they are when they get bigger. I am in the Philippines. I asked the sister of the guy who gave them to me if they have turkey's at her mom's house. She said...

    Laying mash

    One of the hens layed her first egg for the season yesterday. They have been laying for a couple of years, but they either don't set on the eggs, or last year one of the hens set for about 3 weeks and then got off of them and abandoned the 7 eggs. Don't know why. I have had lots of eggs in the...
