On the other side of the golf course, i heard there's a bunch of wild turkeys, (the bird, not the drink, but then again it is the golf course!) do the wild ones fly??? How did they get there. Do you think one or two of the farmers gotout and flew over here, about 1/2 mile. Or maybe they walked over? I don't know. Can those big birds get off the ground. So the ones in the stores are only about 10months/14 lbs? We don't have wild life, like wolves around here. Pit bulls yesh, but they are mostly on chains.
Mary, are you getting new chickens? What in the world do those turkeys eat to gain so much weight in only a few months.
