A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I had a surprise when I bought “white leghorn pullets” from Tractor Supply, and within a week they started getting big and fat! I wouldn’t have knowingly saddled myself with Cornish crosses. But at least they were on clearance for $1 each. Then I got a friend to help me process them when the time came, and it all ended fine.

Turkey poults have a tiny bump on their cute little noses, a bit higher up, though..

One less bearded hen now. She and the yearling Sweetgrass tom are headed for their new home today. Now if @memphis would just come get these 10 youngsters, I could greatly reduce my feed bill.

Went out back. And there perched on top of my fence were three cute turkey butts. Sitting there just watching the boys next door working on their trailer. The bice thing is I told the ladies to get back in the yard & they all stood up and hopped down. Such good gurls

You need to train your turkeys to run a course like this guinea.

I got lucky today. While letting the turkeys back in the coop, I peeked out the door just in time to see the hen with an unfound, hidden nest just as she settled down onto her unauthorized hidden incubator spot. She will lose those eggs this evening

Yeah getting pretty late in the year to start hatching. Although I gave a hen chicken eggs out of the incubator yesterday. Incubator says 2 days left today, but I have 2 pips

I still have 10 juvenile turkeys that need new homes. They aren't big enough for the other option yet.
