Hubby's turkeys
...and here's Jerry
Good looking boys. My friend is raising a couple for Thanksgiving and has thoroughly enjoyed them. I hear they make the most delightful noises. :-)
yes they do. I have a pair of royal palm's and they are just such sweet birds. I just love it when they are showing off for each other. When Tyson (the tom) shows his tail feathers, you can hear and feel a "thud" a very low bang. Tessla she loves to show off to Tyson and her chatter is low and sweet. I just love the turkeys. These two are my breeding stock, for next year.
Hubby got brave & let the other 3 young ones out this morning...here's more pics...so far so good...now if we could only tell the sex of the 3 youngsters...

Handsome birds. What breed are they? They kind of look like those bronze breasted ones.
They're supposed to be Rio Grande.
Neat! I didn't know of that breed! They look super.
