Could I have the turkey feathers for free or i can send cash for the turkey feathers
Thank you for your video on clipping wings… This is exactly what I was looking for! I also LOVE your turkey pens and wanted to let you know you’ve inspired me in how I’m building our turkey pen for our blue slate turkeys. They have outgrown their inside brooder, and your hoop design is perfect and will allow us to repurpose a lot of materials we have laying around here – the perfect solution! Thanks so much! :o)
Hi there! In now have a royal palm turkey living in my yard. do you clip both wings or just one to keep her from taking off. I have foxes in the field behind my house and my neigh bors on both sides have gardens and big dogs. I need to keep her in the yard (She is free run along with my chickens in my back yard.)

As a Native person living on the rez… I can honestly to you that there are more important things to talk about involving our communities, our ways of life, our culture, and our traditions. Furthermore, this video is not actually a bad thing and we actually utilize a lot of different feathers in our ceremonies. Additionally your statement above about living with nature is really problematic b/c it makes our communities sound “primitive” which is a rhetoric of colonialism
You must be another Ruler of the world, who believes that he owns everything…That he can adjust everything the way that it fits him… who never knew and will never know what the real harmony with the Nature is. What goes around comes around…
if you really think a an animal such as a turkey is emotionally distraught over not having the freedom to be able to “fly” where ever it pleases then you my friend have some serious issues … keep smoking your peyote and having your pipe visions of how the real world works
they trim the feathers to keep them inside their enclosure and safe not so much as a control device ….. they dont chop the wings off its the feathers …..I am the one who isnt very bright yet you are the one emotionally conecting with a creature as simple minded as a turkey ..
You are not very bright aren’t you? It was never about the pain, it’s about chopping wings off to the bird! I wish someone would decide for you, that you should’t walk and chop your legs off… How would that feel?
Natures harmony – thanks for the great well filmed post. With only 8 the task was pretty easy and hope it keeps our Naragansetts from wandering the neighborhood at dusk.
Thank you for making this video. I have a question for you. Do the feathers grow back again after you clip them? If so, how often do you have to clip their wings?

I wish someone would have chopped your hands off so you’d stop typing spouting that utterly idiotic dullard rhetoric.

Very good clip on clipping. I’m new into raising turkey’s and this has been very helpful.

Don’t forget to chop your wifes legs off just in case she decides to wonder away with your neighbour… True harmony…

The fethers only grow back if they molt or are plucked.
