This is a must have for turkey owners or those considering getting turkeys to add to their homestead. I am a new turkey mom of 2 Jake's and 1 hen that are about 6 months old now and I am always searching for more information so ! can be the best turkey mom I can be. This book covers everything from broody hens and hatching to parasites and everything in between. It covers all the various breeds and and what to expect at every stage of life from feeding to mating. The pictures are gorgeous and made me miss having the baby poults around but my turkeys are so much fun to have in my flock! They have so much personality and the book even covers what their various sounds mean. It is literally the beginners guide you need for turkeys
Thanks to Storey Publishing and NetGalley for this eArc in exchange for my review.
