The hen is half palm, half bronze, the ton is an unknown mix of heritage breeds. The hen was flightier than the tom is, but boy can they still jump! Now they are quite happy with their poults.

Wow, I'd like to introduce him to my gal. He's a beauty!

Very beautiful! Looks a lot like our tom, minus the tail. Just gorgeous birds.

I have two turkeys that I bought with two pekin ducks and they are inseparable. I had to save there lives from drowning so now they are extra friendly and follow me around the yard like my shadow. They are special.
This is peck and lucky.

This is lucky he likes to groom my feet and then lay on them. He is so friendly.

Haha when I am out watering my plants my turkeys sit & follow & talk to me until I spray their feet: ) they get in the duck pool also, I have a bucket of water in their pen for them to play in they love it! They also love their ball!!

Have had the broodies take an extra break from their nests if they hear us running water on a particularly hot day. They don't hang around long "cooling their heels" - when their panting stops we know that the hens' systems have been refrigerated and they step right out of the hog bowl and waddle back into the shed and onto their nests (kinda like my female relatives, down South, in the days before air conditioning, who would ALWAYS retire for a cool bath in the early afternoon).

Midget white turkeys started hatching thanks to one of my broody hens..
