Grannie Annie has turkeys for Christmas and she gets hers early on in August as day olds.
Staffies are softer than you think.

Yes we do!  :D

They are due on 6th August, but anytime from July up to end of September depending on how big you want it to grow.

Holly Berry's at Lincoln sell them, but I don't know if theirs are all spoken for!  they usually are by now.

Holly Berry Hatcheries
Station Road Langworth LINCOLN Lincolnshire LN3 5BB
Tel: 01522 754388
Fax: 01522 750855

I have never purchased from them before, but I know they are sometimes fully booked for turkeys by now, but you can only try them.  we have to order ours in February with Kellys in Essex to be sure we have ours.

I know one of our members contacted them the other week and she is getting some delivered to a farm near her, but I think she ordered about 20.  You can only ask!

Cornishgirl, we get Kellys White Plumpies and this year we are getting 12 Kelly Bronze as well.
