Great News

I got some pictures on a cam today of a flock of turkeys! Not just one or two but a flock! Like 20+ hens, we have seen no poults and no group of more than 4 hens in the past 5 years on our place. It was like Christmas when I saw all those hens today!

Always is nice to see!

👍👍👍

I would think it likely that was a flock of young turkeys with several hens. If you have 20 hens in a flock, that would mean you have a lot of turkeys, yet zero reproduction. It is more probable that several hens have gotten together and pooled their poults. By this time of year, it's really hard to tell a young turkey of either sex from a hen.

But either way, congrats on having turkeys. I've seen more young turkeys this year than I have in decades.

I've seen the same. The next few years look very promising.

Same here! Sure makes me feel better about all the time and money invested in them.

Same here. It sure make you feel better to see a flock together like that.

Seems to been a good hatch this year here too. Even the late born poults that I raise at the house are as large as my 5+ yo hens I have, males would be the only ones you could identify as juveniles this late in the year.

ive seen over 100 new turkeys in montgomery county this summer within a 5 mile stretch and an outrageous amount in and around butler and crenshaw county. most I've ever seen

Them backing up the turkey season next year has already started working.

. Yeah, and they will take credit for it too.

That is good news. Seeing above average poult survival on our place too.

Once they enact a 3 bird limit we will have so many turkeys they will be a nuisance animal.

Hello state peoples....vould you please come and make me turkeez in marshall county thank yewww

We seem to have a good crop this year as well. Nice sized groups.
