We bought a bourbon red “Tom” and named him “Woodford Reserve” but “He” was a she! Now, we call her “Woody” and she is very sweet! You are right about the mom thing. She will sit on eggs but gets bored when they hatch. Our Slate is a better mama! Turkeys are a lot of fun! Thanks for covering this breed! Love your channel!
I had blue Slates and Lavender Slates. The girls were quiet and would often fly out of the pen, but the Tom very did. They would be good girls and always stay in sight of the pen. I just opened the door and they slowly walked back into the building for an evening treat of a handful of scratch grain. I have never known such a sweet breed of turkey. I would trust little kids and elderly people. Bourbon Reds would have been my second choice!
Thanks for the info!!! The bourbon red may just be on our list for spring! You're a great salesman! 😂

Funny, I was just looking to order more turkeys. Thanks for the info! Oh, Good Morning!
Happy Thanksgiving! I have bourbon reds right now!
Sounds like you are definitely a fan! I want a few turkeys next Spring and these are definitely under consideration because of your video. Thank!
Do you guys have any videos on meat rabbits?
We have a rabbit playlist with about 7 or 8 videos. More coming soon!
