From little chicks to this

[Andrew]

They are looking very well. Nice to see them.

Yes thanks Andrew I am very pleased with them and will have more next year. My first time with turkeys they are so funny and when Im there they never stop talking.

[Mel]

Gosh look at them,lucky you!!! they make mine look like sparrows ! Mine shall never be ready for this year so I have decided to keep them as pets-breed them if possible and eat a few Turkey eggs!

They look fabulous.  I love the contrast of black and white ones.

Yes, I think yours are bigger than ours too - I wonder why, since they will have been all hatched together?

I'm starting to suspect ours might all be girls. This would pretty much figure, since all of this years other chicks have turned out to be boys!

Doing nothing special just ad lib feed Turkey chick crumbs then layers pellets and some mixed corn and I restrict there wandering to a pen which is moved regularly to fresh grass. weeds etc. They are locked up at night in a roomy stable with a perch and liberal wood shavings which is cleaned out regularly, the top half of the door is coverred in mesh and has never been closed, Plenty fresh air a varied diet fresh clean water clean environment I must ad that i have been professionally trained in poultry husbandry and have in the past worked or been involved in the professional poultry industry for some 15 years.

Ah, that's maybe the difference - ours are in a big netted enclosure, which gives them lots of room to run around (and they do - it looks like they're practicing for a performance from The Nutcracker Suite most mornings!)

Of course last week when it was really windy, the fence blew over, and I came downstairs to find them all tucking into the cat food at the back door. Still, maybe that'll help them catch up with yours a bit!?!
