NH Homesteader- turkeys!

[NH homesteader]

Thank you! He's still at work with no cell service so he doesn't even know yet. I'm not much of a bird person but he loves the darn things!

Must by a guy think! One of SBC's adult son LOVES his turkeys! Like really loves them, its kinda sweet.

Hate that y'all lost him. Friendly toms are pretty rare.

We hatched out a couple of eggs last year and I discovered what a mean tom is like. Holy cow! The thing was terrifying! And he especially hated me. He's in the freezer now...

Needless to say I'm not looking forward to getting a replacement tom. Maybe he'll keep the hens as pets. I can only hope!

Sorry about losing your tom. Winter hit here, too, though not quite as cold as your area.

Sorry about your tom

We had a tom, he loved me but no one eles. I cokukd hold him he would follow me everywhere, but not having him get along with anyone else just wouldn't work so he went to the freezer.

Poor turkey!

The other day when I went out to do morning chores two of my does had frost on them as if they had slept outside. The two my herd queen is not super fond of. So we had a friend come up and help move another little building in their pen in case they're being pushed out. my herd queen is retired and she's only here to keep the peace so she better shape up! Lol, nah she has squatters rights at this point.

Poor girls!

Maybe un-retire her...

Well.. She's 8 1/2 and has only been bred once, she's quite overweight... I'm afraid it would be a big risk. I got her as a pet before I knew a blessed thing about dairy goats. I never expected her to be a breeder. Plus she's very hard headed and won't let an inexperienced buck near her, lol. She's so sweet with people at least!
