I have had a bronze broad breasted, hen for 4 years, she is very freindly. She even recovered from a nasty trip that left her unable to walk for a few weeks. Still quite healthy, loves roaming around the yard.
I have a small and a large female; about 8 months old. I'm doing the same thing as you but with a Royal Palm Tom! My females are laying now. They're both very sweet but I doubt the big girl with make it through Summer. I'll most likely cull before then. Did you have success crossing the two?
Our Beltsville small hen is sitting on a handful of eggs :) Im excited shes like ten months old now and her Tom is doing well laying beside her at times its sweet
I wouldn’t risk the male being next to the female. Male animals tend to be aggressive with babies & bam it’s ugly! Male elephants can’t be around babies & they usually leave until it’s time to mate.
@@Zumbagirl517 thanks our eggs got stolen by the mink along with a clutch of silkie eggs We sold the turkeys to some great people who have lots of room Thanks i know males can be agressive and even kill young to mate again We raise rabbits and have seen goid dads too but if they have the room

What breed are these white turkeys? We are very new to turkeys.

Did it work? Did she breed successfully?
