    Very entertaining, from the baby Rogan and Doogie under your shirt to the GREAT pleasure you have in caring for both turkeys and the chickens. I sometimes think I may have missed my calling by following my grandparents practice of raising chickens for a living after watching these videos. Praying your energy level keeps up with your required tasks each day.

    Thanks for this Punk! I finally got my hen bred and it looked like it took but she's not laying eggs yet. Should I breed her again before she starts laying? Poor thing, it did not look enjoyable at all. Glad that I don't have close neighbors as well. 🤣🤣

      Hey Dallas!! If you're sure he slipped it past the goalie, then she's good for four weeks or so.. which is usually long enough to fertilize her whole clutch. If you think there's a chance he missed the mark, go ahead and breed her again to be safe!! Good luck, my friend!

    They are some clumsy birds haha. I did spanish black a couple of years ago and broad white last year. I wanted to breed the black turkeys, but I just don't have the setup for them. This year I got my first burbon reds. Super stoked.

    So funny story:
    I got one turkey poult from the auction last year for $3. She survived- but we didn’t eat her bc she raised our chicks and ducklings. Soooo I got a Tom from the auction so she can have babies. Bring it home and look it up…. They can’t mate naturally 😂😂😂 it’s a bronze broad breasted 😂

      HAHA, yeah, those suckers are usually too fat to mate, but occasionally I've heard of an especially agile pair getting it done! 🤣

    Punk help! My bourbon red TOM has taken over the nest of eggs! What's up with this bone head?Ever we that before?

      @North44farmstead  5 месяцев назад

      Wow rstr!! 😲!! It is unusual and quite rare that a tom sets the nest, so I'd say you have a remarkable boy on your hands!! Please keep us posted!! 🙏 Smalls had a son many years ago that I sold to a friend, and she reported that he was obsessed with sitting on the eggs. It's common in many avian species, but NOT in turkeys!!!
