    Oh my god, I loved that turkey! .He was a regular character in every video. Poor Rebekah, I'm so very sorry you lost that beautiful boy. First boy born is Tom Jr.!

    Oh no! Loved Tom. He was such a camera hog. He loved following you around and being on camera. So happy for the babies!!!

  • @juliannedispain1637
    @juliannedispain1637 2 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Oh no!!! I feel so sad about him because he was such a great little companion. He was always curious about everything going on. You could clip your next turkeys wings to keep them from flying. I am happy about your turkey eggs!! I love that your wife talks to the eggs😁 I can relate🤣

  • @ralphbennett4286
    @ralphbennett4286 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    That's to bad to hear about Tom the turkey. Clipping their wings does help keep them from flying over fences and keeps them grounded. Oh those baby turkeys are so cute. Good luck with them.

  • @janiceaucoin1435

    So so sorry for the loss of Tom the Turkey, he was a handsome guy, curious of what’s going on and love to follow you around. He was not camera shy. Hopefully you will have a Tom Junior out of the babies. I loved it when he did the happy dance when the kids were born. At least you will have some of Tom offsprings. Good luck with the baby turkeys and saddened about the loss of Tom. You win some and you loose some.

  • @walterchapman2884

  • @margaretbedwell3211
    @margaretbedwell3211 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sorry about the pretty Tom turkey but I am happy for the new babies. Isn't it funny how all the bigger animals are standing pretty well right after they are born and the momma has them cleaned up but the birds act like they are drunk and takes a lot longer for them. The goat babies are just so darned cute and loveable. Thanks for sharing the news. Have a Blessed day.

    Piece of advice, Clip main feather's off of 1 wing of each turkey or chicken to keep it from flying over fences and such.

  • @rayeddy528
    @rayeddy528 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you for sharing !! In our area we have a lot of predators from the sky . They will most of the time carry , especially chickens, them out to another area and eat what they want and leave the rest for scavengers. No fence can keep them out! You All stay safe and God bless !!! Eddy

  • @littlehousewoodworking5292
    @littlehousewoodworking5292 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sorry to hear about Tom. He was such a gorgeous bird. Love how he always seemed to act more like a dog then a bird, following you around and being curious with everything you do. I once had a German Shepard mix who never left my side, was always interested in anything I was doing and seemed to be "trying to help". haha. That's what Tom reminded me of. Hopefully you have one of his boys grow up just like him.

  • @josephbrown-ut9ty

    JudithB Its hard to loose one of the critters, but a fact of life on the homestead. I got the first quail egg yesterday and will be incubating soon to build the flock/covey. Need to put some chickens eggs in too!! Still working on the garden as summer is suppose to arrive on Sunday!

    Mr. Tom Turkey was like watch dog in bird form making his security round the farm being nosy keeping a eye on its owners doing their TH-cam channel filming. He loves being in the limelight of Country View Acres TH-cam videos. He was a beautiful turkey.

    I had trouble with my turkeys flying out, too, and then I was told you have to clip their feathers. I did that and it works very well but you have to do it every two months.

  • @carolparizon4900
    @carolparizon4900 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You need to set up a few game cameras in the general area where Tom met his demise just to see who got him. Bet it was coyotes. Also like others are saying clipping the wings keeps em in the yard. Babies are adorable!

I wish you would do an update on ALL of the animals. It's been quite a while. How are the boy goats doing? Thank you for sharing and I hope you get even more turkeys 😁

    Careful with the incubating, it can become addicted. We did our first batch this spring for our chicks and the wife wants to do it with every egg now.

  • @ArtByKarenEHaley
    @ArtByKarenEHaley 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If you need to boost their protein, I suggest some hardboiled eggs that are minced up really tiny. I couldn't find turkey and gamebird feed when my quail hatched, but I had meatbird feed and added eggs for the extra protein. They would usually eat what they needed. I'd replace it couple times a day.
