Nearly Christmas and despite having 2 turkey poults I have been weighing up my options for Christmas dinner!  Bootsy and Snudge will be celebrating the fact that they will be too small at Christmas.   :blink:  Hubby still wants turkey so I will have to bite the bullet and buy a turkey crown.

Like you say, your 2 pullets won't be disappointed by their lack of weight gain. I am sure I have heard that there has been a large increase in the number of turkeys attending Slimmers World classes this winter!

Unfortunately I haven't got what it takes to rear & dispatch my own birds for eating but I can imagine it is quite galling that they aren't ready in time.

Oh dear, that's a bit off isn't it.  A turkey crown is a good option for 2 though.  Otherwise you end up eating it forever afterwards 

So what you buying the terrible twosome for their Christmas dinner then    Must all that dancing about they do - burns the calories you know 

[Chrysalis]

They're too beautiful to eat!

and the meat is often dry, so why not go for something different?  Duck and goose are nice  :happy:

I'm in a competition to guess what my sister is providing for us this year - been through duck, etc, guinea pig, wild boar, porcupine, squirrel and still not guessed..... what shall I try tomorrow?

Kangaroo!   :blink:

I knew they probably wouldn't be ready in time and I didn't want to cut their lives even shorter.  They definately have been doing aerobic exercising which they love.  Just putting them on to finishers pellets so they should start to bulk up nicely.

It has to be turkey this year as hubby is looking forward to turkey, stuffing and cranberry butties while he is off work!

Kangaroo!   :blink:


Nice idea! It isn't badger or any other roadkill 

I'll let you know.....

It is very tasty, I tried it once when i went out for Sunday lunch it was on the menu and they gave us a taster.

Well, it isn't kangaroo or any other marsupial this year!  Been advised I'm searching the wrong continent...

Is snake edible? 

Hope you get your turkey AN....

(We don't have it for family reasons, so it's always a suprise what we get!)

Been advised I'm searching the wrong continent...

How about Ostrich?

[Chrysalis]

I'll give it a go tomorrow. Only allowed one guess per day in this silly competition! :blink:

[arugula]

Oh I see, we'll wait for the answer then.

[Growster...]

I reckon it's a tin of corned beef with feathers Sellotaped to the sides!

I fact, I'm absolutely sure I'm right, and claim a big snog under the mistletoe!

Claims, to 'Growster, Hawkhurst Police Station, Hawkhurst,  Somerset'?

Yep, could be snake.

Ho ho ho! We'll see Growster!
This is supposed to be ANHBUC's thread about her poor specimen turkeys... whereas we'll be eating a turkey in the US sense of a disaster, methinks...

Have you got a bird yet, AN ?
