Finally, the the throne has been settled. Top Tom lost! I was expecting this, as Jaws (new name because of his vicious biting skills) is much bigger. Anyway, im very glad its over!!
Okay, after severl spurs and biting sessions Tom cowered and the other went on the attack but i had to stop it. He was almost stuck in this one spot, but i think he is slowly learning he isnt the dominant turkey anymore. Tomorrow after school im letting them out. They seem to pick up the pace...

Well the one is old so he...
OK. Mine started or continued and i saw. They circle each other every minute they are out. I went up and saw the biting and stopped it. Right now i seperate them. One free ranges for a little, other is in the barn, then swap. Should i just let them settle it? They went at it all day today so...
I have two males and one hen. I think im bound, but before i have this problem i wanna know some tips. Just in case. I saw a video on youtube, and the gobblers would circle each other and then fly up and spur. This was about 2 minutes. Then it went and they bit each others head. They got pretty...
