He is. I'm looking forward to mine looking more like that. And the gobbling. I love turkeys.

So do I, they are definitely my favorite! Mine are SUCH sweet pets I adore them and their personalities!

I had a turkey hen start laying at 5-6 months old this spring, the other hen the same age waited a FULL month later to start laying. That early layer laid probably 4 or 5 eggs per week until she went broody, then started laying again maybe 2 weeks after the poults hatched.

Wow really!! So you had an early layer too? That's great! I just couldn't believe it!

Mine started laying in February at about 6 months old, they are all heritage, sweetgrass, oregon gray, blue slate, red bourbon; and they have intermittently given an egg every other day until they went broody a few weeks ago. The red bourbon Diane has been the most prolific.
