Brilliant, wish we had a bigger garden.  We are wanting to move but the property market is a bit stagnant at the moment.  We need more land   :(

Well done. How many turkeys do you have? Will they be 'meat' birds?

got back from allotment and 9 are out now and the last one is trying to break through!
i have one male and two females (did have 3 females until Christmas last year  :blush:) i hatched them out last year but bought the male from a different breeder as a day old at same time so they are not related. they live on the allotment as ive no room at home! the older birds are not for meat, they are now my official breeding trio!  :D but the chicks will be for meat. (may keep one as it is an unusual colour much more pale than the others so will see what it looks like fully feathered).
