I hear nothing but good about how fun and friendly turkeys are with humans! Wish I had a pet turkey but I know my limits!Well...my turkeys just point their babies toward the feed bowl. And of course dad is nowhere to be found.

how fun! But... Pigeon claws hurt enough when they land on me. I can't imagine a turkey hopping on!They will hop in your lap, settle down & take a nap.
yep! But only because they are growing in feathers, and weight. Lots of food and protein needed for that!Had no idea the babies can eat so much. Wow.
haha! That's funny. They double in weight in the first 24 hours. Do you plan on banding the squab? If so, do it on day 7.Ok, one question.
Why didn’t an tell me how fast these things grow?! I swear it’s like twice the size it was yesterday! Other baby is on the way!
X2! @backyard pigeons!Thanks @backyard pigeons. You have had much to do with the popularity of this thread. Your knowledge, kindness, and helpfulness to others is priceless!
Fitting that you snagged post #10,000!

p.s. I have lots of babies hatching any time now. I had 3 pairs, plus another trio start nests at almost the same time. So far, I’ve seen one half-shell, so I know at least one had hatched. Maybe I’ll be able to get some pics this evening.
