A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Yes sir! I think he's already plumb spoiled. This afternoon I barely got the chance to sit before he was on the chair looking at me begging to lay on me

How many other turkeys do you have and what varieties?

Cant really tell from your pics but he looks to be a blue slate.

Two Royal Palms, 3 Bourbon Reds, 3 Chocolate, 3 Narragansett, a Black of some kind, 3 blue Slates (including Hedylogus, my new little buddy), and a 5 or 6 year old Broad Breasted Bronze Hen that lives in our hospital ward. We're trying to start a rescue, and rehabilitation center.

That's pretty old for a BBB. Nice assortment of birds.

My kids are spoiled too, I just cant resist them. My girl Harper bullies the sweetgrass sometimes when they decide to sit with me because I guess it's her spot, so they burrow their heads into me to hide and squeal like they're being killed when she pecks them. It's kinda pathetic but very funny.

Here they are hiding from her wrath today. She started with Lil Baby who hid on my knee, got annoyed she couldn't get her, and went after the other sweetgrass Egret, who also ran over and hid as soon as she can. Ruthless.

I also found this sweet picture of Harper and Big Kid when they were both sick, cuddling. It's very cute and hits a sore spot, but in a good way. I wish I'd had gotten closer for a better quality. I miss her more then I thought I would, considering she was originally the only girl I was going to sell. I guess doting over them really bonds.

Nothing like you have! I have to say I'm kind of jealous. We have 18 turkeys altogether, we have 7 full size chickens, 1 bantam hen, 3 bantam roosters, and a 23 inch tall Chochin Rooster that was cage trained when we got him

Sorry again for your lose. But I'm sure those spoiled girls make it a little easier.
