My best friend and I did 6 turkeys and 3 guineas. I don't think we could have asked for better weather! Usually it's aroud 8 degrees for a high, yesterday it went up to 39! We didn't need to start the heater, but it was still cold enough for the water in the chill tank to stay cold.
The turkeys were white and bronze, all BB from the feed store. The toms were pretty big boys, but the hens seemed to be pretty small. They seemed to have more of a heritage build so I am wondering if they were crosses? I can't remember what hattchery the feed store uses, but I have got geese and ducks before that were either crossed or just not up to breed standards. They all should still be tasty, though!
