Black Feathered Friends One Week In.

The turkeys are growing fast! If we truly have a pair, we think the one with the black dots near the ear region is the Tom. That one is more assertive and interactive. We are calling that one Aries. The other one, we are fairly certain is a Hen and we are calling her Luna. Their wing feathers are filling in on both and they are almost twice as tall as a week ago. I put a stick in the cage for them to start roosting on. They are not quite as peepy as chicken pullets, but definitely peep loudly when scared (in the dark). We're adjusting to each other. They seem healthy.  I don't see any lethargy or strange behaviors. That's about it for the week.
