We got our original
gobbler and hen poults in 2008 from Mosher Pointe Farm in Falmouth, Kentucky.
Their parents were breath-taking at first site and as my wife stood
petting one of the hens, four HUGE toms were strutting around us making
a loud "thumping" sound, their wings extended and dragging on the ground
and their tails fully fanned out. It was a sight to see and we had
to have a few ourselves.
We can say that raising young
turkeys is more enjoyable than chickens. They seem to be
more people friendly. They loved to be held that is the
wife's department. She usually has one or more with her in
front of the TV. As I write this one is sitting on her
shoulder as she moves around the house.
We plan here in 2009 to
expand the flock and sold a few poults. If you are
interested in Narragansett Turkeys we are sold out for 2009
already. The demand was more than we thought for this
breed in the area.
