Ralph - definitely want to see pictures of the birds after their baths!

Bantambird - I can't imagine bathing one of my toms, you are a brave soul

I can't even begin to imagine bathing Adam. He would probably have to be hog tied to make it work lol. Romeo and Dinner would probably be ok though. They both love me lol

I am thinking about getting a couple poults next spring and hopefully free-ranging them. If anyone has some advice I would appreciate it, such as a breed that can fly well, find a lot of its own food, etc.

I believe any of the heritage turkeys are quite suitable for free ranging (not broad breasted - bred to be heavy for meat). Good at flying. They come in a variety of colors, and make very nice eye-candy in your yard

Turkeys try to avoid duck people...

I was able to take a moment to upload a few pics from earlier! Question about the latter poult, what would you call this color pattern? (I'll try and get more of the other two Narragansett crosses, they weren't featuring a photo shoot and only wanted to be associated with us if we had blueberries for them. Brats. .

)

Well, mobile seems to have eaten 3 or 4 pics! I'll have to upload the rest from my laptop

What were the parents? Did you run the calculator to limit the choices?
