Here are some photos
of the Chompipes (pronounced, chom - pee - pas
). I asked about their origins and got a blank look, they are turkeys. . . .
The old tom and a younger one.
Showing off the the lady!
Poults going on 4 weeks.
I think the ladies like him!
Poults being curious
Ain't she pretty?
OK, take a good look and toss in your comments about what you think about what kind of turkeys I have here in Costa Rica.
The poults will be raised with the chickens and will have the run of the fenced in backyard when they can no longer squeeze thru the chain link fence with one wing clipped.
We are going to have to import bugs for the turkeys as the chickens have cleaned them out.
Oh yeah, we were only going to raise two for the table but my bride thinks two would be raised to reproduce so two more were added along with two being held for our neighbor who needs to finish her pen to keep them in or we will have two more for the freezer.
I forgot to mention that we only have the 6 poults, the others were the ladies breeding stock where I purchased the poults, their photos were just for identification purposes.
