These are Bronze Orlopps and Mini Whites. They are 242 days old as of today. They have lived a good life with all day access to outdoors, good, high quality, local drug-free feed, and clean water. They are friendly and very calm. I like turkeys far more than I like chickens.

These guys go to the spa next Friday, September 22.

    How your turkeys start the life at your place? Did you buy chicks, incubate bought eggs or your own, or something else? I’m asking because I learned from dirty jobs with Mike Rowe, that turkeys only do artificial insemination.

      It took me a couple of minutes to find a picture. This is from last year. I didn’t take any pictures this year.

      I asked my wife and she reminded me that we had a trio of turkeys that laid eggs and that we hatched some. No artificial insemination.

      I also made turkey egg salad sandwiches.
