The Blue or the Black and White?
The Blue is a Jersey Giant gone wrong and the Black and White is my Mottled Java stud(ain't he purty? )
The Mottled Java roo, had just gotten into a fight with another roo just minute before, that is why his comb and wattle look dirty. He also...

No, as of now, our tom doesn't display much at all. I think I've only seen him display only about 5 times. I guess ours is just lazy. He seems to be trying more and more, so maybe he will do it much more often as he gets older.
It would probably take quite a bit of energy, to do it...

Gee, I wonder why they look like your's! LOL They've gotten big since the last time you saw these three, huh? And to think, you used to be able to hold one in one hand. Now, they're hellish to hang on to with both hands if they don't want to be messed with, like when it's time for bed...
Mine will follow us around the yard, but stay out of grabbing distance. With the exception of the one hen, which I think was our first poult..
Her name is Fry..

Only one of the hens, will come over and watch me really close.. The other two are a little more standoffish, not scared but don't like me reaching out to pet them. It's probably better that way, I'd hate to get too attached to them. Adam's pretty steadfast in their fate..

My Mottled Java roo usually looks better than that. I let everyone out to free-range today and he had it out with the free-ranging roo. Bloodied his comb and wattle a bit..

I was hoping for two toms and a hen, so we could eat the extra tom. They are suppose to be Christmas turkeys, but we'll see how it goes..
Anyone know when heritage turkeys start to lay?
I'd love to get some eggs before they meet their purpose..
-Kim
Just thought I'd share. I snapped a few pictures of them today!
This one was trying to blend in with the chickens..
"I'm a laying hen.. really!"
The Tom
All three
They are about 3 months old. Aren't they pretty?
