Steemit photo challenge 42- Mating Turkeys

My first and only step yet into agribusiness was breeding Turkeys. When the female turkeys -hen- play hard to get too much to the male turkeys- tom- the toms become tired of chasing the hens and that is when I come in. I hold down the hens and the most wiliing tom comes to climb the hen held down and mates with it. When the hens lay eggs, I pick the eggs to the hatchery to hatch them after 21 days.

Breeding turkeys requires proper planning and hardwork. It is a very interesting and also a challenging job to have.

Dang @woleybabz, have always wanted to see and taste Turkey eggs🤔🤔🤔🤔

Oh I don't have the pictures of the egss anymore. They are mostly whitish and bigger and tastier than chicken eggs.

Yummie......wish i could see it

Do the hens put up a pretty good fight when you hold them down?

Yes of course, the very difficult part is chasing to get them down.
Thanks for reading
