Turkeys about breeding time

Should be fine. My husband had a hen hatch out ducklings (also 28 days). She freaked out the first time they found the pond and took themselves for a swim, lol

Thanks Sumi

Also I'm thinking about getting some jumbo Cornish cross roosters again. They are so good being farm raised. Amazing how much difference their is from store bought. If I can get my son and son in-law to go in with me on like 45 roos it would be worth it to raised them 9 - 10 weeks. Last year day olds were .89 at rural King.

It won't be long now... Let the egg laying begin.

He's ready and raring to go.

Wife calls it "Turkey Sex" :lol

He's beautiful!

He's beautiful!

Funny I think he's butt ugly but I guess turkey hens think all that ugly is attractive.

 

[sumi]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder He's a gorgeous colour.

 

[CrealCritter]

Wow! That's pretty generous

Won't be long now... Both hens are nesting, I suspect I'll see the first eggs this week. I have a few BO chicken hens warmed up sitting on some chicken eggs - just waiting for the big switch-a-roo

 

[CrealCritter]

Yep... Sitting on the porch and listening to a turkey hen sing her egg song... Gotta go out and see if I can find the egg she has laid

 

[CrealCritter]

Aw shucks... No egg she must just be practicing... getting her vocal chords stretched out.

I did get a good pic of them though
