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.

My Midget White Turkeys ~ As Poults

These are two of my Midget White turkey poults. Where is the other one you ask? ....

...Here! I could not help myself, I posed them in a favorite teacup and enjoyed their antics.

These turkeys ( for that is what a poult is, a baby turkey) are now grown and they have produced young poults we are raising. I enjoy my poultry and every day with chickens, ducks, doves, and turkeys is an amazing day. They produce eggs and meat for our table, and the entertainment they offer can compete with television any day. Often, and I do mean OFTEN, I pull up a lawn chair in front of my poultry pens, and with a cuppa coffee or tea, sit back and enjoy the drama and comedy they offer.You should try it, you'll like it!

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!
