Missys Chicken Ranch
Songster
Hello!
I currently have chickens and am looking to get 2 turkeys (whenever I can find some). I don't want to willy nilly buy turkeys. That's where you come in. Can you please give me your knowledge and adivce and all I need to know before getting them? I have been reading articles online but talking to people with experience I believe, is best. I have read broad type is not so great as they have issues as they get older because they are so top-heavy so to speak. I am hoping to find some heritage. Will they fly away? I have a mostly 6f privacy fence around our acre with exception of one small section that is probably 4 1/2 to 5 ft.
Anyway, all knowledge is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
