A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

That's so funny! lol. Here the turkeys run off the red ISA hens, but dare not get close to one of the Australorp hens unless they want a good pecking - and the turkey is always the one forced to skeddale and quickly run away!

It's going to be fun to see how things shape up down the line as I have several Cockerels in the mix of babies.

My babies are growing!

I am assuming this is a gobbler ALTHOUGH I have yet to see a single strut or display out of him. I could be wrong and his name is Tommie Tucker (or maybe Tanya Tucker lol)

Tommie with "The RoadRunner (cause she is FAST). I still have no idea what or who her parents may have been.

Ironsides - (Hopefully one day "Old Ironsides") I have watched him strut AND gobble, so he's my sure pick for now.

My other yet unnamed hen. Taking in some sun.

I already knew what was the right thing to do. What would be the fastest most humane way? Without being to graphic. Send me a pm so it doesn't upset anyone reading thread.

Sorry.

I wrote this a while back, it works with my tender heart..

Ok so the turkey poult that seemed to be healthy is now walking totally messed up. It's like one leg is almost twisted completely to the outside. It's walking around and eating and drinking like normal. Lively acting. I don't understand what's going on.

My baby bourbon past away. . .it was so fast, I was holding him mere minuets before and he seemed like his happy self. He had no muscle mass, and had no food in his crop. . .wondering what happened.

Somewhere along the line I missed what happened to Ralphie. Did he have a surgery? Injury? He's been sick before and that didn't stop him posting. I went over to the Minnesota thread to see if it said there, but it must have been too many pages back. But I did see that he posted about meeting Richard Gere.

Aurora, your Porter poults are awesome!
