Does a turkey have to be slaughtered?

Thats an illusion. Turkeys and lawnmowers dont mix.

I wish! They like to follow me and eat the bugs, like huge cowbirds.

Are those Blue Slate turkeys? They're gorgeous.

I'm still trying to decide what breed I want. Naragansetts look cool, but huge. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to order a wild turkey in GA. I wish I could lure one here, but it's a little close to civilization.

Inky is a blue slate. The others in the photo with him are his children. Their mother was a Bourbon red. You get a nice range of colors when you breed the two. I'm partial to the slaty blue with red highlights.

You mean like blue laced red wyandottes!

Edited to add: I like the colour combo too! Wanna move to GA so I can take some poults off your hands?

I have two turkeys, one Giant White and one Broad Breasted Bronze, but we've named them Thanksgiving and Christmas.
