I have 4 BB turkeys 2 Toms and 2 hens. I got them in early June and have been trying to butcher since the middle of September due to weather, no electricity ect have not been able to get the job done. I have raised chickens and know that if you wait to late to butcher the bird gets tough is this the same for turkeys. My intent was to roast them for the holidays and I am worried if I wait to much longer they are going to start getting tough. I have one hen that has already started laying eggs and my two toms are starting to fight to see who's boss. How quickly do I need to butcher them.
