Turkey In My Backyard by Dogzoneng(op): 6:43am On Apr 21, 2022

I got some turkeys and am new with them. Bought 3 Oct last year, they died and now I got 5 Feb and March this year. They are still alive, I'll keep the updates here.
Ps am raising along with some cockerels, and noilers, no sign of cannibalism or fighting.

You need to de-wing the females o, otherwise you're likely to lose them once they start laying eggs.

I honestly don't know because I only got to know after i lost my female turkeys when they started laying eggs. The male ones go out and will always return, the females don't.
