I lost one of my hen turkeys today. so.....I am wondering if anyone close to me has any grown hen turkeys they want to sell. it don't matter what kind, I just think my rowdy tom needs more than one girl.
I planted one last year, the All-in-one from Stark Brothers. It is growing well, already leafed out this year, but I don't know how it will produce. Supposedly they do not need a pollinator. I am optimistic. I'm also trying hazel nuts, just to see how they will do.
