A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I do have some available. What people do with their turkeys after they leave the premises is none of my business.

They dont make their way to north cakalaki i can assure you. ;(.

And! I see so many people tryin get rid of birds.... not for human consumption.... and try micro manage HOW their birds live. I just laugh. Esp when the ad says somethin to the effect of i have tenlebenty roos needin a new good pet home... yep. I can pet them quite well in my freezer silly human! I will even name em for ya.... eenie, meenie, miney and mo!

You do not like the cold..... it is already quite nippy up the mountains where Bob’s turks reside with Bob......

Yep, It was 19°F here this morning.

R2elk....I love it when Daisy does a fly by. I swear shes grinning at me. Guessing she bounces around for the fun of it. If people witness her flying on our walks they are blown away.

Lots of rain & storms last night. Got only one group of kids before the storms rolled in. Its normally warm enough here that folks will sit outside & vist as the kids scoop up tons of candy. It's such a fun time for the kids, hate the weather ruined it. And now I have a ton of candy staring at me! Off to work it goes!!
And till raining this morning. Ugg. Coonhound took one look out the back door, turned around & went back to bed. What a bum!

 

[rjohns39]

yup, it's inching toward me now. Did you really have to share?

 

[OneMountainAcres]

Looks like we're in line for a good bit of it too :/ I agree with @rjohns39, did you really need to share @memphis? We've had enough rain this year for at least 3 years :/

Went to let the turkey girls out of their coop/pen & they are both still on the roost. Guess they are sleeping in on a rainy morning. So I left them. Little bums.

Is anyone here familiar with turkey forcefeeding(overfeeding)? Here in eastern Europe our elders used to force feed toms with whole wallnuts to give the bird a better taste and fat. They used to give the bird one wallnut in first day, 2 wallnuts in second, 3 in third...up to 30 wallnuts after 30 days. I`d like to learn more about.

 

[memphis]

Well mine are pets...free range during the day. Feed in their pens. So no force feeding. Will walnuts really change the taste?

 

[OneMountainAcres]

I would personally never force feed any of my birds unless they were going to die if I didn't. Seems needlessly traumatic.
