Today is the final day of Turkey Facts, since tomorrow is our SOLD OUT Thanksgiving FOR the Turkeys! We hope to see you there!

Turkeys “dust bathe” to keep clean and to get annoying bugs out of their feathers.

Turkeys perch at night as an instinct to avoid predators. Our girls have branches in their night shed so they have somewhere comfortable to sit at night. Even our blind turkey, Lilou pictured below, knows how to find her perch.

Thanksgiving FOR the Turkeys is in just two days!

When poults hatch they bond to their mother and each other and form a close-not family group where they learn how to forage, perch, and survive. The mother keeps them warm until they grow large enough and get their full plumage (their feathers set).

Our four turkey girls are sisters and remain very bonded, calling to one another if they aren’t in sight and sharing food.

With three days to Thanksgiving FOR the Turkeys, here’s more information about our beloved birds.

Female turkeys lay a clutch of eggs and then must incubate them at the exact right temperature and humidity. They enter a hormonal state where they are called “broody” and stop laying eggs, needing to eat or drink as much, and only use the bathroom once per day. They lose their belly feathers to make a warm, moist “broody patch” to keep the eggs in the right environment.

Here at the Sanctuary, we have a strict no breeding policy, so we are careful to collect the eggs from all of our birds. We give the eggs back to the birds and they eat the shells which helps with their calcium intake and other nutritional requirements.

If you haven’t gotten your Thanksgiving FOR the Turkeys tickets yet, act fast before they sell out.

Let’s learn some more about our girl turkeys!

The girls also have caruncles, a dewlap, and a snood but they are smaller and mostly used for temperature regulation, filling with warm blood during hot weather so that heat can dissipate and turning pale when it’s cold to conserve warmth.

If you haven’t gotten your Thanksgiving FOR the Turkeys tickets yet, act fast before they sell out.
