Our baby turkeys have started making their turkey noises. Somehow, Chuck can make them gobble but not me. It seems that 3 of the 5 are toms. They are poofing up and fanning their tails a little also but they wouldn't on this video.
This is a picture of their dad strutting. He was gobbling the whole time we were there- at every sound. He is a very proud turkey.
These guys will not be full grown for the holidays this year and we are going to try to make a breeding pair. We are planning to order more from the hatchery this spring also. Hopefully the following year we'll incubate and hatch our own. That's the plan as of now anyway.
I love that the turkeys will only talk to Chuck.
