I have fallen in live with turkeys. Any ideas where I can buy two to keep as pets. Happy to buy poults or resue two. Have searched every where and tried hatching but no sucess. Live in cambridgeshire so my locality would be useful for collection purposes. Val

See if there is an auction house near you that does poultry. The recent one in Aberdeen had loads of turkeys!

I am absolutely loving my turkeys which we let outside last week for the first time (they're about 13 weeks old). They are just so friendly and each has a personality. :love:  It will be sad to part with them in December but that's what we have them for.  I can understand why you want them as pets.  They do stink though!

 Good News. I am about to become the proud owner of two turkeys. Sandy and Clause (great names ) will be settling into their custom built house next week. These are two that the christmas turkey monster wont get.  :love: ;D
