My turkey stag was the mother to my batch of ducklings. He was a better mum than the rest of them!

My turkeys are free range with my chickens. The stag is quite handy as he breaks up the cocks when they're squabbling. He's like the local sheriff

I've got a great bond with my turkey stag (he's such a sweetheart) and I didnt have him from an egg - I can't remember how old he was, but he was a decent size, but not quite adult. I'm sure that hatching them yourself helps with the bonding, but it might be easier to just buy some young...
