I have 2 - 2012 female turkeys, I don't have a male.
One of the females squats in a breeding position every time I get near her and started calling a lot this spring, I'm assuming for a male.
The last few days she has gone off into the woods behind our house doing the repetitive calling.
I've heard her calling from quite a distance but so far she has come home.
I was just wondering if she happened upon some wild turkeys which we do have in this area if they would breed her.
Oddly enough about a month ago two wild turkey toms came with within less than 50 ft. of my girls and the girls just stood still looking at them quietly and the wild toms just went about their casual foraging and moved on.
I suppose I should get a tom to stop her strong desire to get bred but I'm not sure if I want to get one....but really don't want to lose my favorite pet turkey girl to predators in the woods. Thanks for any insight.
