Turkeys for Sale
Six turkeys for sale, two gobblers and four gobblerettes. Mum, Dad and four kids.
Our neighbour had thought it would be a good idea to let a pair of turkeys go in their woodlot next door. The turkeys, however, thought it would be an even better idea to come over to our place and eat free food, from the chooks, and fight with Roger the rooster.
Turns out they share a mutually xenophobic hatred for each other and take great delight in trying to annihilate each other’s children, with a passion bordering on biblical. So, to avoid further mayhem, I’ve had to lock them up in one of the chicken runs.
Not only that, it turns out chooks can carry a disease called blackhead (from eating earthworms!) that if transferred to turkeys kills about half the offspring; carnage. Mama turkey started out with 13 chicks she hatched out here... These surviving turkeys should be immune to blackhead.
Bottom line is: I don’t want them here anymore so if you’re interested in brightening up your christmas, or your backyard, or back paddock, these could be just the thing. Used to humans so reasonable easy to handle, yet I now realise to have been called a turkey by someone is really quite the insult.
$150 the lot
I’m a night owl, afternoon/evening contact is better. Thank you ☺️
