Bronze turkeys growing quickly

 I thought it would be nice to post some pictures on how much my turkeys have grown in the past few months, above and below is Tomato my tom.

   

This is a picture of the turkeys when I got them.

New Shed

I thought I would do a post on what I've been doing this week and what's been happening. Above is the shed I finished  to store my supplies and feed.

Above is a photo of the turkeys I just moved outside. They are now fully feathered .

Here are the Porcelain roosters that hatched in January and are already the same size as their mom.

Above are my porcelain hens that hatched in January. Their names are China ,Mist Flower and their mom is Silver Bell.

I've also got a few hens that are incubating eggs Silver Mist's eggs are due the 28th of April and the black hen's eggs are due to hatch any time now.

Below are the two Mille Fleur's my other hen hatched out.

New Turkey Poults

 These are some of are new Bronze turkey poults that we got on Thursday,

 Above are all three of them.

This is their brooder which is an extra reptile tank I had it holds heat good you can see through it and it's heavy enough that it doesn't get tipped over easy.

Midget White Turkeys ~ Teacup or Roasting Pan ?

This is one of my Midget White turkey Toms. I think he is handsome, so does he.This picture was taken just after our ice storm and there is a big hole in the roof of the pen caused by a very large fir branch falling point side down onto it. The pen is a bit muddy and the turkeys' feathers are not as clean as they should be.

The day I received my turkeys in the mail they were so tiny that two fit into a teacup. Aren't they cute?

They grew...

...and grew,

until one day they would no longer fit into a teacup.

But really, it is silly to expect any decent turkey to sit in a teacup, isn't it?

I do suspect they'd rather sit in a teacup than a roasting pan though!
