For everyone out here in Colorado, 2X4" roosts with the 4" side facing up is a life saver in the winter!

Hi from the boulder/Lafayette area! I'm going to keep an eye out for those wild turkeys that were spotted around 75th and valmont!

Currently i have 17 lovely ladies and one lucky rooster with some new arrivals scheduled to join the party in spring. Also going to try my hand at turkeys with some scheduled to arrive in march

2015 is gonna be fun!

Cool wild turkey picture~  I miss seeing the wild turkeys!  Not sure they exist in the mountains.

We have blowing snow here today, snowed about three inches yesterday, but the sun is out, so hopefully it will melt away.

Hope everyone is staying warm today!!!

Where are you located again?

Agree we have wide roosts and the gang loves them. Curious why you stated that, do you have more to share? Also tell us about your flock and we love pics.

Welcome and howdy neighbor, we are in North Boulder. Nice what breeds and ages are your girls and one boy? Definitely want a couple turkeys as well. Welcome to the thread and tell us about your flock. Got pics?

That's how we set up our roosts as well. It really seems to help the bigger breeds balance, my Cochins seem to bumble around a bit if something is too narrow.
How long till turkeys are butcher ready? Which is easier, males or females? And, what the heck size pot do you use to scald them for removing feathers?

Those are good questions, will be waiting to see what we find out. Never had a turkey but so want a couple to have next year, that is a lot of meat for our freezer!
