got a new tom turkey today to keep Petuna (sweetgrass hen) You see I don't plan on eating her. He is a mutt but I don't think she cares.




He is bourbon red/slate blue cross I think she said.

I took this video of one of my 17 day old duck eggs tonight and the baby is kicking the while time.

Maybe someone else can embed it for me.

I have some of that cross incubating now. I have done dome research and the cross between Bourbon Red and Slate will give you two out comes. Rusty Black or Rusty Slate. Looks like your boy is a Rusty Slate and very pretty at that.

Ahhh those girls . . . . . they can be very sneaky!!  Do you have an incubator?? If you do, you might try putting them in and see if they hatch. . .  otherwise, it is what it is.  Sorry. As you said live and learn. 

My bator is still too full, so I put them in the hatcher for a few days. It may kill them, but its the only chance they will get for now. Lol I can switch them over Tuesday.

this is my breeder's palm tom turkey.

I know NADA about turkeys and was just wanting to ask you all....does he seem to be a nice turkey, or from stock? also can you eat palms? how many days does it take for turkey poults? can they hatch early too?
