We are new to this Turkey breeding. We have done waterfowl successfully but don't know much about turkeys. We have a great male bronze and will get two females in about two weeks. We need to find a supplier to purchase the saddles and any info on their use. We take our turkeys to shows and don't want our females torn up. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I just got a catalog from Stromberg's and they have turkey breeding saddles in there.

Hi,I have some turkey eggs that are about two weeks old and am trying to hatch them in an incubator. I thought they were fertile, but I was told that domasticated turkeys can't breed because their chest is too large. I know the tom tries bur I don't if he is getting the job done. Also we wanted to know where their breeding organ is located and what it looks like?
Can anyone help me out here?
