I once raised a pair of turkeys, they were very easy to raise, no fuss. Whatever I eat, they eat. From 2 children, their reproduction increased to 6, then to 20 children.
They reproduce so much that I can't eat or sell them 😱😱, I consider them my friends. Who would eat their friend? 😄😄
However, my country's climate is quite humid, and an avian flu epidemic occurred. All of them did not survive, despite my many efforts to prevent them.

Got.4 last year and we love them. Can't wait, we have 12 more coming in June. Great birds, always on the front porch to greet me in the morning.

Very well done presentation. A real good eyes on video with no flamboyance. Just your facts. This year in June we will be getting 3 turkeys along with 25 meat birds.The meat birds I know I can handle as we have layers for years. The turkeys? Well your video gave lots of insight into what to expect, so thanks for this.

I am new to chickens, turkey, and guineas this year. I appreciate your video.

Great video. A nice open view of how it’s going. I think I’m going to do around 20.

A lot of free range turkeys. Awesome. Cheers from the top of the mountain.

Since your comments section is turned off on your most recent video I'm going to leave this note here.
Your children are incredibly beautiful. They remind me very much of my grandchildren!
May God bless and keep your family, making His face to shine upon you, today and always.

Wow they are a lot to care for. Looks like fun though. Good Luck!

I love turkeys but ours are bottomless pits and always seem to be hungry so we're downsizing our flock to just a few. They love sleeping as high as they can get, some of ours sleep in trees over our chicken yard, and a couple sleep on the barn by the tree. They're good for keeping hawks away but they also bully the chickens. They definitely think they rule the yard. We had 1 royal tom get aggressive towards all of us so we sold him. His son is nice so far.

Thanks for the video. Have you looked into mobile turkey scooners? The mobile enclosure allows them to free range without being invasive especially on a small farm.

This is our first attempt at heritage breeds as we have experience with broad breasted who are more short lived. I am a bit nervous to add bourbon reds and also very excited!

Anyone have tried and tested advice for preventing turkey piling when they are a little older, say, maybe 3 weeks old and fairly feathered? Basically, right before they are ready to go outside. For whatever reason, this is my biggest challenge with turkeys, otherwise I love'em and am quite successful with raising them. Last year I lost about 50% of my flock. I'd come check them in the morning and there would always be one squished. It was not a heat issue, by the way. I was able to crank it up to make sure they weren't huddling to keep warm. They just seem to love to sleep in a pile and the weakling always gets buried under. I also rounded the corners of the brooder. Didn't help much. So any other advice before this season begins??? Thanks!

Are they much more tame than the Wild Rio Grande or Easter cousins? I’ve seen those always around properties but they never seem to venture out past peoples properties.

Please how many months do turkey start laying

[johnnyromero]

I have royal palm turkeys but am looking for bronze turkeys, do you know where I may aquire some? Thank you and thanks this video

[sengwesetogile]

Can heritage turkey be raised comercially?

[mariannemonagle]

IF you electrified the fence will it keep them more in line? I am new to turkeys and want to plan ahead and expected to electrify the surrounded small pasture area. I was initially thinking more about predators but it is good to know they just run it over if it is not electrified
