TURKEY

Our Toms pace back and forth waiting for the hens to come out. Three of our hens have went into the house and have refused to come out. All three have decided to go broody and sit on eggs at the same time, leaving our toms restless.
The hens collectively are sitting on 32 eggs. We will just have to wait and see what comes out of the house.
Narragansett turkey are the tamest of all turkey breeds. Similar to the silkie chicken ( which we also raise). The Narragansett Tom Turkey is so docile that he will eat out of your hand and allow you to carry him around. The toms also make excellent fathers, rarely harming a young poult.
