We got home after an eight day trip and before we even got into the house the girls were squealing about how big the turkeys had gotten. They nearly doubled their size in just over a week. Not the freak of nature growth we saw in the water fowl, but impressive all the same.
Turkeys are dumber, yet more personable than chickens. I think it is because they are hungrier since they are growing so fast. Whatever the reason they run to you the second they see you... sort of like obnoxious dogs. It is kind of hard to get them to leave you alone.
We have two that survived that early run of chick loss and they are frenimies. I catch them pecking at each other and picking their heads raw. But they are also always together and never out of each others sight. I am loving the mini-loud and proud displays the white one keeps doing. I can't wait to see him at it when he weighs 25+ pounds. The antics are just going to make him taste better...mmmm turkey!
