Hi,

Can anyone or does anyone have any Turkey Poults available,I went to Melton Mowbray today and they were of inferior calibre and I do not wish to risk buying low standard birds!

I have to say,I have bought from there before and was lucky! Today,well,I wish the RSPCA were there,I noticed two blind Geese,two chickens with eyes poked out,worms in poop,scaly leg,mites,foamy eyes and the majority were in the most horrendous condition,beaked and looking like they would not make it out the door

So I came away empty handed from the fur and feather.

I find it difficult to see them in so much trauma,most of the birds had been literally thrown in and left with no water,I went around filling them up for them-and you could see they were really grateful~the birds that was,not the sellers!

as a rule the rspca are always on hand, the water should be filled by the seller melton do provide a watering can and taps to do this. the trouble is prices usually go up in the school holidays so any bird that has breath left init finds its way into the pen sad but true.

not been for a while but the poultry auction at mildenhall (eagle fdabian's) could be worth a look i think it on wednesdays.
