Turkey breeding cycles
« on: August 28, 2005, 11:14:56 AM »
Question, how many broods will an average turkey "couple" have per year?

I saw two hens today with four to seven smaller turkeys. When I say smaller, I mean barely over pidgeon size. Are these second broods or really late firsts? Ok, it would be a big pidgeon but way smaller than a chicken. Trying to give a frame of reference here. Maybe small pheasant.
