A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

What's the shipping cost for polts? I might be interested in that. What should I do with my new found Tom? I don't need two and it's got a bad foot

I think Priority shipping is $1 per poult (15 minimum) and Express is much more expensive (like $30 for 15 poults or something, I forget how much exactly though)

That's awesome! We've got wild turkeys in the woods, and Griffin (The sweetgrass) loves talking to the hens

LOL he would love it if you got him a hen or two

MadamPoofy..congrats on becoming a turkey mom! We love our turkeys!

I'm sure he would! He's still a baby now, and it's hillarious seeing him show off! He kinda half-struts, and he gobbles soooo pitifully! He's getting better though!

I'd kinda like to get into breeding sweetgrass. His breeder was super irresponsible and crammed loads of turkeys into small pens with no water...I won't get into all that, but if I get him a hen or two, I'm gonna have to find a different breeder...never going back there

Thanks! I'm becoming a crazy turkey person...I absolutely love my baby! Such a sweet boy. He came back from a bad start and was scared of everyone at first...he is so sweet now though :-D

Here's some reeeaallly bad pics taken with my iPod the day after I got him. He's much bigger, cleaner, and prettier now. And his snoods Much longer, it's so cute when he flicks his head and it flings around

He's also free ranging now. Kept him in a pen at first until he got tame. Now it's jsut his bedroom :-D

His beautiful head

In the corner of his pen. Bilbo, the dog, noticing him for the first time ;-)

Checking out the camera





His beautiful back feathers. They're even more awesome now. He's molted since I got him :-D

Oh, and I'll get some pics tomorrow. He's already gone to bed for the night :-D

Gone to bed for the night, as in, he actually put himself to bed? That's an accomplishment right there and a trait that definitely needs to be bred in

That's good? I didn't know, he just likes his house and goes to it

That settles it, I'm looking for some girls!

LOL YES, if he goes in on his own that is AMAZING for a turkey, my two still want to be tucked in at night

My free range chickens can't even find the door to their coop

I thought turkeys were just smarter! Apparently Griffin's special, lol!
