Had a black poult trying to strut and gobble at just a few days old the other day. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. The little chirpy gobble was so cute!
They pack quite a punch when they are grown. The turkey is imprinted and has no fear of you. If it is already acting aggressive at 4 weeks old I would hate to see how aggressive he is going go be towards you when he is grown. You can try getting him a turkey companion around the same age and...
I'm sorry you only have 2 wyandottes. Maybe see if the seller can send more if you cover shipping?
I ordered 12 more eggs from the seller that I got the painted eggs from. They will be here next week. So far 12/14 are developing from the first set. I just want to make sure I end up with a...

Glad your hatch went so well and your poults got a new home! 😊

Porters sells them. They've only been in the US since 2015 and last year was the first year he started selling...
It's day 5 on my painted turkey eggs. Looks like 10-11 out of 14 are developing. All but two air cells stabilized and are solid now, a little odd looking, not saddled but just a tad misshapen. But overall I am tickled!
