Butchered 3 cockerels today . I am not short on meat .

some how I ended up with more folks wanting mature toms than toms I was willing to part with?? what the >????
it has been a funny year all right

They're hungry and don't want to wait? They've figured out that hens without toms are a finite resource?

More meat than a hen ,, I hear stores around here are out of meat

so far all these folks are looking for toms to go with the hens they have....

Seem to have meat here. Still short on TP & disinfecting stuff.

I have more broody hens..

I barely noticed them.

That is the shelf the goose decoys use to set on. Had the one not moved her head I would not have noticed her. Both those hens appear broody.

I wish some would inform my girls turkeys are ground nesting birds. That shelf is about 12 ft off the ground.

Aww. They are so cute Ralphie. Keeping each other company.

But way off the ground. I have no idea if they have an egg or not.

Your turkeys obviously don't like your ground

could have something to do with the roosters that stay down there???

All my roosters are scared to death of the turkeys - more afraid of the hens than the toms. The chicken hens must be scary because even the turkey hens leave the braver ones alone. lol
