Standerd Bronze Turkey's

we saved one hen and one tom after the winter holidays, and they made it through the winter.  She has been laying an egg a day, so we have 14 in the incubator, and she is still laying and setting now on more. 

Tom here doesn't have much to do most day's with only one hen, so he displays for the sheep and goats to keep in practice.

The turkey's are Standard Bronze.  The Broad Breasted Bronze we all drew and colored in grade school was a selection from the Standard Bronze as seen here.  And the "White" bird we all know at Thanksgiving was a sport that was chosen from  the Broad Breasted Bronze.  These birds can reproduce without human intervention, but the Broad Breasted and the White both need human help.
