Watching this heavily reminded me of my big man who lost the battle over a girl and was getting Bullied for it so we had to give him away. His name was tom... how creative. Edit: those toms and ladies are beautiful
How many months does it take for a male turkeys to show the characteristics of a male. I have two turkeys 🦃 and one is laying eggs but the other one l can’t tell
@@OleYankeeFarm thanks for the reply. I was hoping for information on how long for the poults to reach a table weight. When you can tell the Toms from the hens. Do they make good mothers? Will the Toms attack the poults? Will they go out in the winter? Just more than just 5 minutes of watching them walk around.
@@MM-lp3gc Although I have never raised this particular breed for the table, the consensus seems to be 20-24 weeks. The toms develop their waddles faster and are more forward, the hens make great moms and are very protective of their young. My tom has killed a few of my young chickens when they have gotten loose, so I would probably separate them once they are out of the nest. They do great in the winter. I hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing! Would love to see more videos of the hen turkeys talking
Nice healthy and happy birds.
Hey! We just got some Rio Poults ourself and I’m researching everyone’s coops before we start ours. Glad I found your channel! Nice To Meet You!
I know my turkeys like high perches, about 6'.

Id love a narragansett, but my blue slate tom is just everything you'd want in a tom, hes almost perfect
Could you do an in-depth video of how to house and care for turkeys? Can you raise them with chickens?
Thank you for your feedback! We will put that on our list of videos to do.

Can they fly like wild turkeys?
Yes they can fly up into a tree or across a field

We’re still new to turkeys but we had one that turned out to be a male after about 6 months it was clear.
After two months, poults show characteristics of sexes. The male is taller, with larger body and feet than the female.
Hermoso ejemplar saludos cordiales desde Lima Perú 👍🇵🇪✌️😷
Gracias Manuel!
I thought this was going to have information in it. Disappointing.
What kind of info are you looking for?
