Hi all

I'd like to raise a few turkeys for Christmas - any ideas when you would start with them and where could I get some from?

Cheers

Gary

Try contacting Central Scotland Smallholders - they usually hatch a batch of turkey eggs about June, for sale to members.

Andrew or doganjo on here will be able to help as Andrew's the man with the incubator and Annie's the CSSA treasurer.

Turkey eggs going into CSSA incubator in about 3 weeks, they will be hatching last week in June.

Good luck with them! We are on our third year of rearing turkeys for Christmas (for us and friends). Love them as they are totally fascinating birds.
