Post your new 2010 Turkeys

What about the 1st picture, the yellow one with the grayish wings? Is that a BS or RP?

At the beginning of May, I got 9 eggs from the feed store's wild birds, hatched out 4, but only 1 survived (temp issues in the incubator). My friend bought 35 turkey eggs from a local lady for $10. Said lady had NO IDEA if they were fertile, hence the cheap price.

They were extremely fertile.

My friend hatched 27 turkeys.

Hysterical.

I took home 3 to be friends with my little guys.

I will post some updated pictures tonight.

WOW, great deal on eggs, I never find those deals! Although I am excited that my girls decided to start laying again after already being broody and hatching, so far there are 4 eggs in the nest box

It is a good deal IF you don't live in the middle of the city, AND you are willing to eat/sell them. Otherwise it is just hysterical.

TRUE, I thankfully live outside the city limits.

2 months old and it's like running a marathon trying to catch them at night to put them in their house. they refuse to go in their house. they like flying in the pecan trees to roost at night.

Awwww. Aren't they cute! They look like very happy turkeys.

Most times the feed stores have nothing but broad-breasted whites or bronzes, I'd be surprised to see one that had other types.
