This is Heathcliff my Ridley Bronze turkey. He and his gal, Gertrude, follow me everywhere. I love the socialness of Turkeys. My chickens only come when they think I have food but the turkeys just seem to like human company.

I am losing count regarding my chickens. I had about fifty that free ranged our seven acres. They got so brave they started marching down the road toward the Highway, lol. Coyotes cut their numbers in half. Now they are locked up each night and don't get to promenade until 11 which is when our coyotes are asleep, lol.

This year I started hatching turkeys in March and filled the empty turner spaces with chicken eggs, so now I have about 100 chicks out of four hatchings and about 20 turkeys.

I started a new hatching system in July because I really don't want anymore chickens but the turkey eggs are just too valuable. Every seven days I have five turkey eggs and two chicken eggs for lockdown in a separate Bator. By the time they hatch the next seven are moved over. I am hoping I don't have to hatch any more chicks at all but right now I need them to teach the newly hatched turkeys to eat.
