A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I have about 50 adults. 35 to 40 of those I use for breeding. I have 10 different varieties, Sweetgrass, Fall Fire, Red Palms, Tri colored Penciled Palms, Blue Penciled Palms, Red Penciled Palms, Lavender Penciled Palms, Penciled Palms, Black Winged Bronze, Bronze.

Wow that's a lot! I only have 14 lol

WOW! That is a lot of turkeys! Do you have them on like a pasture or something? Because you would need GIANT pens for that many turkeys! I only have 11 turkeys and I think that is a lot!

A few pics of pens.

Very nice! I wish I lived somewhere like that. There has been hardly any rain for months so I don;t have any grass like you. I am jealous, in a good way, wink wink.

@R2elk how many do you have?

Currently two toms, 6 hens and two interloper hens, Poult count is down to 18 from 26. Two of them were spoken for before they were hatched.

They are so pretty! What is the variety that is more of a caramel tan color?

Very nice! I wish I lived somewhere like that. Where we live every thing is all dead and it is just rocks and sand. There has been hardly any rain for months so I don;t have any grass like you.

Where I live was a sagebrush and cactus sand dune when I bought it. The upper area is now tree filled and lush green grass. You can create your own mini ecosystem.

So far this year I have less than 2" of water and most of that is from snow melt.

We are planning on creating a pasture with green grass and nice trees on the northeast part of our property, problem is is that we have no water hook ups over there so we would have to get water over there somehow.

I had a well drilled and ran my own lines to water with.
