A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Today the 8 week old Turkey's that moved to the pasture Sunday, got to mingle with the big kids. They look so small next to the other birds (22, 18, and 14 weeks). I still have 3 babies at 3 weeks. That went into their shelter on Sunday. They really like the green stuff under their feet.

I like the boy on the left best but he did something to his foot and has been limping for a couple weeks now but I can't figure out the problem.
The injury may not be his foot. A hard landing can cause a hip injury which will manifest itself as a limp. Give him time, he is definitely the better looking Bourbon Red.

I agree, he's definitely the nicer looking boy and he's more friendly. I'm just afraid to take the chance and keep him and then him not be able to mate. I need to get out there and block off the rafters so they stop getting up there at night. It's entirely possible that he hurt himself jumping down from them.
