Wow, those 2 are gorgeous! I'd love to have either of those colors.

Budgie had a VERY rough molt compared to my other turkeys, but shes finally growing those beautiful lilac feathers back in!

Oh my gosh! A turkey named BUDGIE! I love it!
I totally now have to name my next budgie “Turkey”. My family will roll their eyes.

Just gotta pop in to do some quick promoting!

We'd love it if any of you guys would like to write an article for the 12th BYC Article Writing Contest!

We actually just added a section for raising poultry for meat to the Learning Center, so if someone wanted to write an article about raising turkeys for meat or processing them, that would be awesome

Haha! All of my turkeys except 2 are named after other species of birds! It just became kind of a thing.

Griffon (Griffon vulture), Budgie, Sparrow, Wren, Ibis, Ptarmigan, Dove... I at one point had Raven, Pigeon and Finch but sadly they were all picked off by predators when they went broody before they were in a fenced area.

Wishbone has a limp I wonder if she tried to jump down from the roost and hurt herself. I'm gonna switch to a ladder style roost in her coop.

Also here you go @duluthralphie, finally got a shot of the back of her head:

And here's Cranberry showing off:

Check for a breeding injury below her wing and in front of her leg. That can cause a limp too.

The turkey knows if she can smother the Dux before the eggs morph into little dux, she can help save the world!

I tried to move in for a better pic of the dux under her but I got a little too nervous about the look she was giving me.

Did she resemble a Copper head about to strike?
