They are easy to raise and fun. As far as processing it would be like a chicken only larger so a larger pot for scalding but you can do 1/2 at a time also.
I enjoy raising the turkey so much.

Penned or free range?

THAT'S OUR BAMA BOY - BACK WHERE HE BELONGS

I did suggest we use Velve in a prisoner exchange to get you back. But, no one pays attention to a conehead. Glad you and the family scored some good eatin' and a recliner as well,- think of them as "welcome home," gifts

Diva, I'm not liking your way of thinking...


Home vacuuming devices are pretty cheap, I think I paid about 50 euros for mine. Then you would just need to find some jumbo bags, or combine a couple normal sized.

Quote: Mine are penned other people free range theirs. I had to put mine on a diet for the last two months to keep them from over eatting. lol

We are looking into getting turkey poults next year. Did you do anything extra besides different food?

Ok thanks I will look into it. These were spur of the moment to get them done today.

Lol. Thanks diva. Vehve may be a little too perrty to make it in jail.

I'm glad y'all have brought up turkeys. We got a young Eastern Tom last fall. Come spring he was trying to make it with every bird he could catch; be it chicken or duck he didn't care. So we figured it was time to get him some girls of his own size. We ended up with some of them solid white turkeys with the pink heads. I guess those are the commercially used butterball types. So the plan worked and the two turkey girls who were gotten strictly as "escorts" were name Candy and Angel. As a little time went on, they started putting on weight. A LOT of weight. Even their feet are fat now. So I figure they're not meant to live long and won't do as pets. Kinda like cornish chickens that are meant to be eaten young. The kids have renamed them.... Thanksgiving and Christmas. Here's my dilemma. One of them is very friendly. I can squat down and she will stand between my knees and lay her head against me as I scratch her neck and head. She particularly likes when I scratch around her ears so she just closes her eyes and stands there. Will these turkeys in fact live a few years or are they a "fat'en'em'up'n'eat'em" breed?

Bama, that's what I'm afraid of too...
