10 poults ? It looks like all her eggs made it............... Nice, as long as they don't use your lawn as a latrine, like Geese do.

There used to be a family of turkeys that lived on the rifle range at the Sportsmans Club in Elk Rapids. There could be 20 people shooting and they would walk along the firing line right under the muzzles not more than 4-5 feet from from your boots, never twitched. Sometimes if they got too far downrange somebody would go down and shoo them off to the side. Tamest birds I've ever seen.

No golf courses .....cattle and horse ranches

There's a story here. In Alaska when the geese fly through some of them land on the local tide flats. When we walk the flats they stretch out their necks and honk at us, but they don't flush. My wife calls them golf course geese because they become habituated to humans on golf courses, as opposed to the wild geese that won't land on peopled grounds. A way to differentiate between human adapted geese, or turkeys perhaps, and the wild ones. Wild geese are among the wiliest critters I've encountered in the wild.

I like your flock of turkeys. Good eating when they are so well fed.
