Ok so,..I bought a flock of chicks the other day from a lady nearbyshe threw in one chick Turkey that was running with the chicks.
Its sorta white and grey/black speckled I dunno if its a Tom or what.
But anyhow,..it got me to thinking,..This spring I might like to try getting a Tom and a Hen,..and letting them brood a clutch,...you know try and grow a self sustaining flock of turkeys.
My question is,..what Breed to get??? Whats a good broody Turkey breed? The lady where I got this one seemed to be able to do it,..(in poor conditions I might add)...so it cant be that dang difficult?
As compared to chickens,..what do I need to know?
