Anybody want a turkey?🤣

Oh also I have heard that domesticated turkeys are very dumb. Heritage turkeys are wilder so they have better instincts.

This is the point that you are confusing instincts with intelligence. They are completely different things.

There is no such thing as a Bronze Breasted. They are Broad Breasted Bronze.

Turkeys are far more intelligent than chickens. They have the ability to learn which is a sign of intelligence. You are mistaking instincts for intelligence. You know that they have different instinctual behaviors. Because you prefer the instincts of chickens you make the mistake of thinking they are smart.

You don't think chickens have the ability to learn? Or do you mean turkeys have a greater capacity to learn than a chicken and that turkeys are more intelligent than a chicken?
Some believe that turkeys and chickens are just as smart as dogs.

Chickens as smart as dolphins?: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/01/04/chickens-might-have-machiavellian-tendencies/

I have chickens, but no turkeys yet. Just living vicariously through my turkey loving friends here on BYC.

Oh? I thought we were all joking here? Sorry, but there isn't anyway anyone would think I was serious if you read my other posts in this thread.

And this one (Pop Tart the turkey)-View attachment 2827062I will also be keeping one more girl (Cupcake) and one Tom! They aren’t pictured!

I wasn't even sure the first turkey pic posted was real or a joke. It's so cute and alien looking.

She’s all mine!! She is the friendliest and prettiest one because she came from a breeder and not a hatchery! She came as a little egg (along with 5 others) and she was the only egg that looked okay. We didn’t even know if she would make it to hatch! And then the power went out so our incubator died! She’s a miracle baby all the way! Her egg was cold! So we stuck her under one of our broody hens (whom immediately accepted the egg and started talking to her) and she hatched perfectly! She loves to be held and to talk!

It is just a joke. Otherwise I would be talking prices, days to meet, and specifics of where I live. I took that first warning very seriously and it is all just to show off my turkeys.
