A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I have 16 right now. 3 toms and 13 hens.

I figured out why Pebbles looks miserable and smaller....she's molting. I couldn't really tell until she completely dropped her tail lol. I feel better knowing that it's just a molt and not old age getting to her!
I'm glad it's just a molt.
I have a couple that the front of their neck is featherless. I hope they are molting.
I think have 7 jennies, 16 hens (maybe more or less), 4 jakes and 2 toms today. The oldest tom I harvested Saturday. I found him sitting in the wrong pen with a bloody head and a blown out hip. I think he got tangled in the e net around that pen, his sons pecking his head and trying to get away popped his hip. I keep telling myself that it's a blessing because I need new genetics. I would have had to sell him because I don't think I could have harvested him if he was healthy. Easier to harvest the other 2. The 11 kids are 7 months. Need to sell or harvest those.
Of course r2elk just posted what happens when toms are together
