I've made a big mistake. And, I am done with hybrid Turkeys. These are Broad Breasted Bronze Turkeys, they are freaks. They warn you when you buy them that they can not reproduce, that before they are sexually mature they can no longer walk, or produce eggs, they are too heavy, and their legs won't support them. They are a designer/high breed Turkey, intended to be killed at 20 to 24 weeks of age.
OK, they just turned ten weeks old, And they are "SUPER UGLY". Two days ago one had it's leg come apart at the reverse knee, the bone can through the skin, and the others tuned on it, and tried to kill it, pecking at the fresh exposed meat. It is like they are part vulture. Today they all attacked another turkey, they are like monsters. They have lots of food, lots of room. I am declaring this enterprise a failure, and maybe a total failure. Well I learned, and I am done with hybrid Turkeys. In fact I am done with turkeys after 10 more weeks, at this rate only one or two will prevail. I will stick to sweet, cute, lovable, funny, Geese.
