That's pretty much what I told Tracie when she WTF'd me about it.

At least you only got two, my oldest demanded that we get 4 turkeys to join our flock of 28 chickens and 10 ducks. FML. At least we’ll eat the turkeys....

Now that you’ve named them, you can’t eat them.

Mason has raised several turkeys. The last one, Ted, just passed away. He was a bronze too, and I swear he weighed every bit of 50lbs He was a fun bird. Easy to make gobble. He followed Mason all over the yard. When he would go inside, Ted would stand at the back door waiting on him, crapping all over. Lol. I’ll miss Ted.

The legend, Ted.

Turkeys have great personalities, I used to raise bourbon reds, I had a hen that would fight coyotes and the mail man. Lol. She was awesome! Of course I had a Tom that would fight the bumper of my truck....

If’n I owned a turkey, his biggest fight would be with the deep fryer.... With a lethal injection of butter....

Biggest one I ever raised was 42 lbs live weight. He was a hell of a meal!

I'm hoping one of these will make a good guardian for the rest of the fowl I have running around. Plus, I'll enjoy the gobbling.

..can you free range them?

Just ordered 75 day old pheasant chicks. Time to get my flock back going. Should be picking them up in Bucyrus 2nd week of May.

If you enjoy shit that make a racket at the ass crack of dawn you should go all out and get some peacocks. I hear fluteman may know a breeder.

I am not a fan of guinea or peacocks, my and aunt and uncle had a bunch.....loud annoying SOBs!

Good watch dogs though

 

[triple_duece]

I want some peacocks. I love the noise they make. My only problem is my neighbors probably won’t and they like to roost high. Ive been told they will roost on the peak of your house. I have a white metal roof. Where they roost, they shit and I ain’t dealing w that.

Cute Jesse! I'd name one Drum and the other Stick.
