A turkey is not just for Christmas...

nor a chicken!!!

Well someone had to crack that one - what with all this talk of incubators, quail etc etc!!

No, anybody can have my share of Christmas turkey - I don't like it. Much prefer duck or chicken (free-range and had a life before of course) if it has to be poultry

oh i dunno, it might be cool to hatch a turkey, purely for xmas dinner and i could have chicken ....... they might just fit between 2 slices of bread lol

Hi We hatched two turkeys and it turns out they are a pair, the problem now is two massive birds eating like ostriches and we cannot bear to kill them; so I guess they'll still be around when it is the breeding season and we may be innundated unless anyone has a better thought?

That must be great penny!

Here' a picture of a wild turkey family!

Our neighbours when we were kids, had a goose to fatten for Christmas... Needless to say, the vicious, stroppy old thing was guarding the premises until its dying day!

Better than any guard dog!
