There is some agression in there
The turkeys have every since we put them with the chickens, seemed so docile. They would allow salt, one of the female hens, to run them around for fear of a pecking. But the other day we were able to add the four chicks that we hatched that are now getting quite big to the pen. This time the turkeys went after the chicks! We were very surprised since up to this point they had never showed even an inkling of agression toward the other animals. But they have already accepted the 4 chicks but love to chase them around every once in awhile, strutting thier stuff!
Here is a current picture of our male turkey. We started out with 5 turkey chicks, but we lost 3 during a particular wet period where they contracted colds and died. Thankfully we were left with one female and one male. They have gotten so big!
