I am so sorry for your loss!! That is such a tragedy!

I love the intricate patterns too. They are a very interesting variety.

Here is my little grizzled black painted Jenny. She was fired up when the sun came out after some rain. She strutted a little but I didn’t get a pic in time.

They are doing great. Very lively and friendly little things. I will likely rehome the whites to my friend who is looking for some turkeys. I thought I might lose the little chocolate tuxedo for a day or two because she kept flipping over but she seems okay now. The painted are my favorite...

How sweet!

That is a lovely assortment of poults!

I parted out the meat and will pressure cook the breast until tender for dumplings. The Tom was a year old. I will be processing this years Jake’s at 6 months old because I will have so many. We will save the biggest one for Thanksgiving, probably one of the whites that was hatched from the...

We butchered the sweetgrass tom with the crooked breast today. He was very plump and probably was one of the biggest we've butchered yet. He will provide my family with turkey and dumplings on Monday.

Sounds like you've had a great year! Turkey hens are fierce mothers for sure. And determined once they are broody. My Narragansett hen is still mothering her little surrogate rooster. He's got a big high comb and is well beyond weaning age by now, and she still dotes on him and protects him...

Got an 83% hatch rate on shipped painted turkey eggs. Ended up with 10 but one had to be culled. 3 whites, 1 chocolate tuxedo, 4 painted, and 1 odd one that looks like a sweetgrass. There is one bronze poult in the brooder I used to tutor the newborns to eat and drink.

The grizzled chocolate painted hen and tri color mottled chocolate hen was showing off today.

They are sure feeling their oats today. Lol

Yes a huge resounding thank you for your service!

Yep I believe the royal palm Tom is dissolving the relationship and filing for full custody of the royal palm poults that belong to him.

Here are the poults. Royal palm tom, you are not the father.

A wild gobbler has been visiting my friend’s royal palms. I hatch her eggs for her and take her the poults. He appears to have had a fling with her hens. There are some bronze looking poults hatching that should be palms.

Gave this beauty to my neighbor along with the white jake I hatched back in December. They are friendly and docile birds so I figured their grandkids would enjoy them when they come in to visit. Had to make room for grow outs and thin the flock. She is a barred rusty chocolate.

So cute! They look like they're living their best lives. Lol

They were putting on quite a show for little fellers. 🥰 It must take some practice to tone the muscles to fan their tail and raise up all their feathers as a bird matures. I noticed that when they first start out they only strut in short displays, that get longer and more proficient as they...

Maybe some quackers or waddlers but no strutters. 🤣
