Just moved my turkeys outside after having them in the barn for the winter. We have a giant white hen that we raised from a baby that we didn't eat and bought 4 others right before winter. We thought we had bought three females and one male. For two months we thought our bourbon red tom was a hen. He never strutted and had his snood shrunk up till one day he got out of the pen and started strutting, gobbling, making that hissing noise, and showing off to the other tom that was still in the pen. So we have a bourbon red pair and a blue slate pair. The blue slate tom is over 2.5 yrs. old while the white hen is the second oldest (hatched in June), and the others are a little younger than her. Two of the hens already made a nest between a chain link fence and an old bath tub. They were even sitting on the nests for a while even though we collected the eggs.
