That’s why I’m having issues raising my BBW turkeys. They are for meat and they’re too friendly

Gotta get just one for fun then!

The people we bought the property from had a Narragansett. He was super friendly and liked to walk around saying high to people when they went to the chicken yard. Then I read how friendly that breed is specifically. We’re new to turkeys though, maybe they’re all like this? Even your dinner turkeys lol

We have wild turkeys where we live. My husband made the mistake of throwing out some bread for a few of them one day. The next day the whole flock was expectantly waiting outside the door for breakfast!

One of my husband's clients gave us his one lonely broody hatched BBB poult... she's extremely friendly and interested in everything. Sometimes she gets a little TOO close for comfort.
Humans > chickens in her eyes!

You'll definitely know once they're a bit bigger. It's really easy to pick out Cochins because of their big fluffy butts. lol

This is our old girl. She's a bantam as well. She's actually our oldest chicken. We still don't know exactly how old but at least 6 years old and she still lays 4-5 eggs a week!
