Turkeys

I'm not sure exactly how much the turkeys weigh. They look huge when all showing off!
The Chocolate turkeys are definately our favorites. They very much resemble a wild turkey, and when the Tom displays he is breathtaking!
He is taller than the whites as well, but looks to be of a thinner build.
We will keep the chocolate hen and tom so we can produce eggs for hatching next year.
We will be offering hatching eggs and poults as soon as they begin to lay. If you are interested in some poults, let me know early spring. The price will be $4.00 each. We are hoping for a good season. But with only one hen, I doubt if there will be allot of extras. We will also keep several for our own use.

I think out of all the animals I have enjoyed the turkeys the most. They are easy to keep, quite for the most part and fun to watch. They are not the brightest bulb in the box but they are still alive so I guess I cannot complain too much. I cant wait till we can taste one! They still get their feed, but I find they don't eat much of it anymore. they spend all their time in the pasture foraging for bugs and eating grass. We took them some apples, but only picked at them alittle, until they rotted then they at them up. They seem to love tomatoes. I will attempt to get some good photos of them displaying this weekend.
