@accidentalnecrophiliac submitted: Hey, I really hope that this isn’t too silly, but I saw your post about training your lab’s turkey poults and I realized that we have the same kind of turkeys!
This is my white broad breasted, Clover (named after his two split wings that make him look like a four leaf clover) feat. our red bourbon, Bonnie.
Neither of them know tricks, but both of them love pets and run out to see humans whenever we come outside, and overall they’re just major sweeties. Clover is too big to pick up nowdays, but he used to fall asleep in my arms!
Also, I’m an aspiring vet! I’m going into schooling for it this fall!! Anyways I hope this wasn’t an intrusion and I hope you have a good day!________________________________________________________________
Not silly at all! Thank you for sharing photos of your gorgeous birds, they do sound very sweet! The turkey hens (can’t really call them poults anymore) at my lab have definitely become super comfortable with me, and a few of them will fall asleep in my lap too. However, they’re not the same breed as yours – the turkeys used at the research station are Hybrid Grade Makers from the Hybrid Turkeys company. My lab has to specifically study the welfare of commercial breeds, which is why we’ve had to get our animals from a professional breeding company.
Congratulations on also going to vet school in the fall, I’m excited for the both of us! Hope you have a good day too 🙂
