Just be warned!! Once they taste the outdoor life, you'll have trouble getting them to go to bed!!! Oh I remember cold dark rainy even snowy nights last year, walking up the vegetable garden which was their run, with a bambo cane in each hand trying to shepherd them into their shed! There was always at least one that would duck under the canes, then as soon as you turn your back to bring him back, the others would make a dash for it too!!! lol Hi Jay, further to our long phone conversation just now re your turkeys!

All their energy is going into producing new feathers, so they generally haven't enough to lay eggs as well. Also pure breeds generally stop laying during winter too, but yours are hybrids aren't they? so they will generally lay well during their first winter, then production goes down a little each year. Hope that answers your question?? See you in a couple of weeks. Turkeys are doing well. Little monsters they are getting now!!! lol Take Care Ann Hi Michelle, yes they do love.
