PICS of my very Imprinted Bourbon Red poult!

[ticks]

he is EXTREMLEY imprinted, I can't even go to bed in the same room without him crying. Here he is. I named him Tiberius after Captain Kirk's middle name. (No, I'm NOT a treky!!!)

Live long and Prosper.

So sweet!! Don't you just love turkeys?

it will get worse. I have a 1 month old who wants to ride on my shoulder like Polly Parrot and tries it's best to get on top of my head. This will be so grand when I have a 20 lb turkey trying to sit on my head.

It DOES get worse!!! My bourbon reds Jefferson and Rosie fly AT me when they want to be picked up and the LOVE riding around on my arm or shoulder. These guys are already about 8 pounds, things are going to get real scary pretty soon!

LOL...yes, I have to agree...does get worse! We have a bronze broad breasted hen, "Coconut." This breed is primarily for food, but she dodged going to the famr that processes our turkeys, cause she has been sweet and friendly from day 1!! We got her and all her siblings as poults. From the get go, she has been just a lover, always wanting to be held and liked to come over and just plop in our laps!! She is now a year old--all her brothers and sisters have either been sold or in our freezer, but her. She has been pardoned!

So, now she is well over 2o-25 pounds and literally if we are sitting down on the ground, runs over, and PLOPS down in our laps to be pet! She is such a lover!!!

Sweet little thing!!

In that third picture, it seems like the poult is saying, "you're not about to leave me are you? ARE YOU?"
