Bourbon Red Turkeys
These turkeys are Yvette's project. One of her hens won Champion Turkey at a big double APA show in November 2006 here in California.
Yvette says:
These turkeys are a joy. They have gorgeous coloring and the tom loves to strut around and show off. The tom is very talkative, and anytime he hears my voice outside he starts "talking" -- he also lets me know if there is something around (i.e. skunk, opossum). Great flock watchdogs. They are very sweet tempered and even the tom isn't aggressive, but is protective of his girls. I have them in a run with my chickens and they have never been aggressive to anyone -- even when my salmon faverolles roo goes after the tom for getting to close to his "girls" the tom never retaliates.
