Need Quick Response, Turken Roosters???

[luvmychickas]

Ok

I have 52 minutes to adjust my ideal order. I really want to get a turken male, since my female is beyond friendly and just a great girl. From what I read, the boys are super friendly. I just wanted to get someone's personal experience with them, since I have never had males

Thank you!!

They are pretty sociable, just handle him from the start...or I found they can be a bit skittish too.
You'll love him. (I thought they were pretty good with the hens too, not too rough or aggresive)

 

[luvmychickas]

Perfect

I have a friend who could take him if it doesn't work out, I just was hoping he would be like my hen

 

[luvmychickas]

Well, I took the plunge and ordered just one male

We will see what happens

He should be fine. I've had them before and none were mean. They do make a good pot of stew though! Hardly any plucking involved!

I was only interested in keeping the females at the time.

 

[luvmychickas]

I really wish I could get to the point that I could process and eat my own. I just have to stop naming them I guess

 

[Cuban Longtails]

Oh you can give them names like Soup, Dumpling, Fricassée, etc...

 

[luvmychickas]

LOL. I really want to get to the point, I like knowing what conditions they lived in and what they ate, I just get so attached. I know its a chicken but maybe next year??? I will tell you my turkey is about to be thanksgiving dinner!! She would be if I could find someone to process her for me

Wish you were closer, I have two Turken roos that need a home.
