I currently have a a pet Broad-breasted turkey who is 3 yrs old and named 'Gertie'. She loved to have her chest rubbed when she was 2 days old! So when it came time for her flock members and her to go to slaughter, she looked me right in the eye!, and my husband said, put her back!! She saved her own life by making direct eye contact with us, and she still does to this day, she still loves to have her chest rubbed, and loves to be petted! We also have 2 barred rocks and 3 Rhode Island Reds.
I have had chickens on and off over 30 years. The largest flock I had was about 70 birds at once in my mid-30s when I sold eggs to a co-op in Holly, MI. Back when co-ops were not in stores!!
