I've been on the "waiting list" for my little turkey poults. Well, the day finally came...they were hatched out on Sunday and I picked them up last night. These are the Heritage variety -Bourbon Reds.
This is what they'll look like when they grow up...depending if they are male or female. I tried sexing these little guys but they were all just alike...probably, my luck, they'll all end up being toms. I was easily able to determine the sex of his chicks but not these turkeys. Time will tell.
This is a first for me having turkeys. I might be calling on you turkey owners out there for some assistance. I am so impressed with these guys.
Happy Trails...

ReplyDeleteThey are soooo cute! :)
ReplyDeleteBabies are so sweet! We tried to raise 3 turkeys a couple of years ago but they got too big too fast. They ended up pets because I didn't do my homework as far as knowing when to butcher them so they got too tough! LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy day!! You have your birds. That picture of the tom is very impressive. He is gorgeous. You must keep up with the photos so we can see them grow.

We had one turkey once (a tom) who my son named Thanksgiving dinner...He was so mean I didn't mind making him for dinner.
