"Ears perk" Turkeys? I need a turkey. A hen. Or two. I have two toms and a hen. I think I might have problems with that ratio. Anyone know where I can find one?
I'm not sure where to find turkeys at this time of year. The tom I have I traded another guy a hen for last summer as I had 3 hens and no toms and he had an extra tom but needed a hen. I only have a trio but crossing my fingers I'll have some new ones this year if all works okay. Last spring the hens were laying eggs before I had a tom and then quit laying once I had the tom to get fertile eggs. The one turkey hen did go broody and hatch some chicken eggs so my fingers are crossed this year she will hatch out some turkeys now that the tom is here and that they are in love with each other.
