Only 7 Weeks Till Thanksgiving!
Yes, this is a photo of our turkey flock running, an activity that they do for a large portion of the day. Our first year raising turkeys, we were concerned that they would never gain weight or be delicious because they spent all of their time running about the land.
Boy, were we wrong.
It just seems that running around and acting crazy is in their nature and may even make them more delicious. 😉
It’s 7 weeks until Thanksgiving and here’s a little heritage turkey update…
—The turkeys sure are growing! They spend a lot of their day gobbling at each other and at other loud noises like dogs barking or a school bus driving by (no, really!).
—They tend to stick together in one big group as they free range around, and they absolutely love eating tall green plants from the top down.
—Did you know that a tom’s head color will change, depending on his mood, ranging from a red-pink to white to a rich, sky blue?
—Right now the turkeys are a little over half of their adult weight, which means that they’ll be growing a lot over the next 2 months!
