I can't speak about turkey ownership in general as I've only had turkeys a couple of months. I have 4 Bourbon Reds, 3 hens and a tom. The hens have taken to ganging up on one of my top roosters in the pecking order. The girls fan out their tails and are rather persisitent. The roo will puff up and try to defend himself, he is never the aggressor, but I have to intervene whenever I see it. It takes multiple shoves to get the girls to back off. The tom just stands around looking.-nothing rattles that bird. This evening I saw the rooster had bloody feet and I suspect the turkeys were somehow responsible. I have no idea why they're doing it. There is not problem otherwise between the birds but who knows what might happen in the spring. The other birds are kind of intimidated by the general size and outgoing/curious/domineering personalities of the turkeys and run out of their way usually.

I got it! You know what is wrong with those hens? They know he is a turkigamist, (Polygamist-Turkigamist, know what I mean...? ) OK I'm going now.

Are you sure you're not talking about my turkey hens? I thought my hens were the only hens who fight with roosters.

Here are my royal palm and sweetgrass showing off. There is a buff hen in the mix also. My little rat terrier named Honey is watching from her house which is shaped and painted like the turkey barn... Turken roo hiding behind bush is camera shy!
