    Getting free 4mo turkeys on Thursday [UPDATE with pics]

    All were bought at the feed store in the same bunch, so I expect they're the same age. Looking at them, all the bronze have blue on their heads, and most have the caruncles developing a bit. Only the big one has the dangly thing on his nose growing much. Blue means boy, right?

    I brought the turkeys home today, and took pictures to share on here to help identify everyone. I plugged the camera into the computer, started to upload, and the electricity flashed off and messed it all up. Now my camera is showing no turkey pictures, and my computer is showing no turkey...

    Quote: Just be cautious: If they are `bony' and the owner is `frugal' I'd wonder what else he's been scrimping on. More importantly if they were started `slow' (inadequate feed) they'll probably finish slow and, potentially, be more prone to problems in the future (heritage hen). Check them...

    I'll look over them carefully, but I'm sure I'll bring them home no matter what. He started out with 10, and a dozen chickens, and his dog has killed everything but these 5 turkeys and a rooster. One of the BBB's has had a broken wing from the dog that has now healed up. The turkeys are all...

    Getting free 4mo turkeys on Thursday [UPDATE with pics]

    I was planning to free range them after I got them acclimated to their new home in a simple pen. We live in the desert, and thus there isn't grass for them to eat, but there are plenty of weeds on the edges of the property . Whatever I plant, if it isn't fenced in, gets eaten by the chickens...

    Getting free 4mo turkeys on Thursday [UPDATE with pics]

    I'm getting my first turkeys this Thursday. 4 are BB bronze, and 1 is supposed to be a blue palm. The guy thinks he got them in March, and he told me they're 3 hens and a tom in the BBB, and the blue palm is a hen. But he told my mom that he can't tell the difference between the hens and the...
