I love your story and the pics and the birds! Thanks for sharing it sure brought a laugh.I just had to share a barnyard story with you all. I hope that you enjoy this.
So this weekend, I decided to let my peas out of their flight pen to roam with the rest of the barnyard crew.
My white pea came over and sat down by me and minding her own business.
Then she starting walking around the yard, still minding her own business.
Well, in less than 2 minutes, this is what happens.
SO after about 3 minutes of that and after I caught up with the turkeys to make them stop chasing my pea, they stop running and this is what happens next.
So here are three of them before they call for the others to come and join in.
The others have made it over to join in on the bullying.
So the noises and bullying begins.
And here's what happens next.
Once all of that was over with, she ran and took her position on the winner's podium, (MY CAR). When that happened, the party was OVER. Time to go back in. She gave them a good scare. She ran the boys away.
My turkeys are bullys !!!!!!! They refuse to allow anyone to have a great day. Do they not know it's Thanksgiving Turkey time.

Thank you . I have a few MW that I hatched in April, but all turned out to be toms, so I will need to get more eggs, and hope for a few hens, this time! They look exactly the same to me, except for size, of course! LOL They are the largest and the smallest and we want both as we have a very large family, but are empty nesters, and love turkey year round.Celie your birds are so beautiful. I love them. I have one MW that looks similar but he is no where as big as yours. But I love the white.
That's a great looking egg! Congratulations! The size will increase after they lay a few and you will be amazed at the size of a MW's eggs, compared to their size !I was going to say the same thing as chickadoodles. I never think our MWs are that small until I see pics of yours. Monster birds!
We got our first turkey egg last night! Only chicken egg-size, but pretty nonetheless.
The hens are 6.5 months old, but I wasn't really expecting eggs until spring. I have to admit, I squealed a bit when I found it.
You have great looking birds! You also have quite a few feathers in your yard, too. I need to mow mine, not so much to cut the grass, but to get rid of the feathers. It looks like a light snow fell! LOLI just had to share a barnyard story with you all. I hope that you enjoy this.
