Stopped at Ladds for some layer feed the day before Easter.My 18 year old daughter Cheyenne spotted the new arrivals,which just happened to be turkeys. So we have a new bird for the flock,hopefully it's a hen,because she promised if it is a male we will fatten it up for Thanksgiving dinner. Right now,it stays in the living room in a 55 gallon aquarium for the brooder.There is a feather duster hanging inside the brooder that turkey runs under when scared or sleeping.We have to leave the TV on so turkey doesn't get lonely or it gets loud.   |

I'm hoping we can get an area set up for birds one day. That's a cute little turkey nugget! Post some pics as it fattens up!

Here is turkey lurkey now,still haven't figured out if it's a tom or hen.It's totally free range.I have seen where these domestic turkeys will just lay in front of a feeder and eat all day if they are given the chance.It's roosts on my ladder stand that is propped up against house.   |

They can get mean especially towards females, if it is a hen.....so is it's name Thanksgiving or Christmas? |
