Ok, my friends. I need help. I'm sorry this is Turkey not chicken, but I don't know where else to go at this point. There is a flock of turkeys that just recently appeared, and they seem to feel they want to live HERE. They came runnin for our yard and are incredibly friendly. They had trouble gettin up there, but eventually managed to get on my porch roof the first night and slept there. Then, last night, they came back and roosted right the heck on my front porch railing! They do all but sit in our laps!!!! They are begging for attenion, and I have a feeling they must have been domestic raised or they wouldn't be like this. I want ot help them, but don't want to be breaking some kind of law if they are really "wild" turkeys. Can someone tell me what they are and if I should help them? I am wlling to give them a safe happy home if they were dumped off, but not sure what is right to do. Called the wildlife center and they are at a loss. They told me to call turkey farms, but no one seems to know what to do. All I know is they are pooping all over, and I would prefer they not poop RIGHT HERE. Took me two hours to scrub my porch!!! Thanks!!!

The wild turkeys around me never come near humans. I would think they are/were someones turkeys. Any of your neighbors
missing any turkeys? They look darker than the wild turkeys by me.

Looks like someone's flock, for sure. Do you have a place at the local grocery store or feed store you can check? I bet someone has posted that they are missing. You could even advertise that they passed through to weed out the responses from hunters or opportunists.

Not wild turkeys. They are too dark. My dad and I would like to bring a 6 pack and some turkey treats out to your place and hang out with your new friends.

Well:

I'll add my two cents....whoever owns them probably has invested money in them...I'd check CL lost/found and the local feed outlets....other than that,,,,,feed them make them happy and arrange with Wingstone or Fisherlady to help process them... I was counting 10 birds....maybe the opportunity to give one to a family in need....my two cents....
