These are three of the four Turkeys given to us, in January, by a lady who could no longer keep them. They were hatched by Silkies, a small breed of hen and they are pets.

They are very trusting, following you for a chat and a rub, shouting at you through the window if they think they are missing something and are happy to be lifted up onto your lap, eat out of your hand and jump into the car if you don’t put the roof up quickly enough!

When we had them all tucked up in bed last night we found our first Turkey egg!
