When is the time to get poults for next Christmas, don't know how long they take to reach eating age/size.  This year wasn't an option as we had too much else to do but might do it next year.
thanks

They will if you make them little steps :lol:  but apart from that ... why not 'eh Christmas may come more than just once for the odd lucky turkey.

My pal has a mate who has a pet one, who since he divorced his wife he let's it in the house  :shock:

They do make a noise, but not as noisy as cockrells, and the noise they make is'nt as irritating as cockrells :)
