I posted this under "Flew Away" but then realized it should be its own topic.
I'm thinking of getting a turkey or two. Are they solitary birds, or social like chickens? (Can I get just one or will he be lonely?) How old do they have to be before they're... well, edible? Can I get a baby in the Spring and have him for Thanksgiving? (Sounds so morbid -- but that would be the reason for getting one.)
justusnak -- do your birds stay in the covered pen all the time? Do they ever need to get out and stretch their wings?
Thanks.
