The last two days, whilst driving my normal route to the farm, I've had the honor of watching the most amazing love story unfold.
Ok, maybe it's just a sex story. But it's still amazing.
It would seem that the wild turkeys are selecting their partners for spring and the displays for harem/flock-building and mating has been just breath taking.
It would seem that all of the smaller flocks came together for a two-day strut-about to decide new flocks. At least 50 mature birds, doing their best walk-the-talk to attract new, or old, mates.
There wasn't any noticeable fighting going on, just a whole lot of fanning and thumping and I believe, the hens do the selecting rather than the tom's doing the deciding. But I'm not sure.
Fascinating.
Looking forward to seeing the new poults in about 28 days.

I know these struggles all too well, but I also know a few tricks.
