Sure Ross, more my size! Those are about the only pigeons I really like, I have been thinking about getting a pair, just something different to look at when people visit.
Make good garden /yard birds if you don't have predators.

What about if a broody hen does the hatching and raising? Would she be ok with dog food mash as well?
Yes, and it's great for treat training, they go nuts for it. If I'm giving it to a momma with chicks, I don't bother mashing it because she breaks it up for them.

So you could give it to Turkey chicks as well??? The cheap dog food is usually $16 on sale, so better than the non medicated food at $20+.

I didn't know baby turkeys were actually cute at first, now I think I need some as well as ducks lol. I wish there were mini turkeys or bantam turkeys.
Yes! But watch how much they're eating...they love it so much that if you give it free choice, turkeys will eat and eat and pack on weight until they're almost too heavy for their growing legs.
Turkey poults are ADORABLE. They make the sweetest noises when content.
