I think I saw wild turkeys with some babies once. I can’t remember if they were babies, but they were pretty adorable. Too bad they grow up to be vicious little monsters.

We raise a few turkeys and had 1 hen that just hatched a brood of 8. That same day I had 2 chicken hens that had hatched out a total of 18 chicks.

The next day the neighbor cut his alfalfa field and the 2 chicken hens got chopped up so i had these 18, day old chicks. I decided to put them with that turkey hen and she took right to them

With her huge wingspan she would just tuck them all under her.

The only problem is turkeys dont constantly scratch and peck so her new brood of chickens would get separated from her by about 10 feet while she just wandered around. Then they would look up and run back to her.

She raised them all.
