Newbie is a mellow, easygoing guy!

UPDATE!  1/4/2013 – Newbie has been adopted!

Newbie is a beautiful easygoing, 14 pound, black, male turkey.  Newbie is approximately 2 1/2 years old.  He is very mellow and doesn’t mind being handled.  He currently lives very happily, and by choice, with several chicken hens and roosters.  He is a funny guy, who is totally submissive and tends to get picked on by the other turkeys as a result, but he loves “peacocking” at the roosters through the fence as long as they can’t get to him.

We think Newbie would live fine with roosters, hens, ducks, and turkeys as long as they are not aggressive toward him.  A female turkey might be ok.

    Newbie used to get picked on endlessly with the other male turkeys – he would spend much of his time alone or following the ducks around. He was smaller then, and he’s only 14lbs now, so you can imagine he was low-man on the totem pole. One day he decided he was going to fly the fence and live with the chickens and roosters and he’s been there ever since!

    He is calm and gentle with the chickens and doesn’t binge eat even though they are free fed. He now spends his days peacocking at the other turkeys he left behind through the fence :O) Pretty hilarious – he’s so proud of himself.

    Newbie was just recently adopted! Congrats Newbie on your new home! We do have lots of other turkeys looking for a home if anyone is interested in adopting a turkey.
