A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Haha... Thank you..

Now my turkeys are raised with chickens, and my turkeys was just chirping like they were separated from each other but they were right together.

My chickens were in the back... when I United them, they ran to my rooster... he has been separating the one fighting whether chicken or turkeys. . He looked like he was finding food for them and pointing it out to them like Brownie did for all of them as chicks...

I said that not odd?

Wow...Banshee! Maybe Banshee is a tom passing as a hen. Maybe you should start calling him/her Kaitlin. No judging here....

Seriously, I think she's a hen. Note: I said "THINK".

Why am I finding the fact that Turkules is sitting on hens so funny? That's not nice, so why am I laughing?

Aurora. ...what breed is Peebles? I can run her through the calculator with Adam. And why am I finding the fact that he is stuck on display mode so funny?

Give me another beer....

Holm....way to grow a turkey. Your little tom is quite pretty!

Pebbles is a mutt lol. Her mother was Narri/bronze mix and father was a red slate (I think that's right anyway lol

I installed Firefox ,but I cannot see a rusty slate on the pictures,
I am not sure I can find the blues even.

What I am thinking about is just using JJ with all my hens if I can get blues and self blues with him.

Rust Slates are on this page:

Ops.. is that not odd?
Dang spell check


Does anyone else's turkeys and chickens seem to eat acorns? It's not bad for them is it?

 

[memphis]

Yeah..he has Rusty Slates listed under " Other Color Combo". Like to never have found him.

I'm surprised JJ can produce the Barred pattern. I need to figure this out...

 

[duluthralphie]

I raise my Turkeys with my chickens too, and then I throw in the guineas just to make them all tough..

They hang together, except for Blackie who use to be just fine but all of a sudden they seem to hate him. Makes no sense.
