Title: Wanted - Turkey Growers - Suffolk
Post by: SarahJane72 on May 19, 2009, 03:20:59 pm
Hi,
I am wanting to buy some turkey growers but am struggling to find anyone who sells any near me in the Suffolk area. Not sure which breed of turkey to buy but if someone can advise me that would be a great help - I am looking to buy turkeys for mainly eating.
Thanks
Sarah

yes they do but there is no source of turkey growers up here shipping would add a lot onto the cost. the breeder has been doing it for 20+ years feeds them poultry growers. Were are having to order the chick crumb from the mainland which is going to put a dent into any profit on them. Good luck with them. :turkey:s
