He just hasn't met the right one, they are just like puppies.

our first turkey poults we bought, my DH and I told the kids they were wart nosed chickens...maybe that would work?

I was also an adopted child. It makes all the difference being adopted by someone who really really wants the child. Adoption can be such a beautiful thing.

Once he see's how neat, funny, cute, and curious they are he will like them. Just cover him in crunchy Peanut butter and shove him in the pen, they will make friends in no time.

I agree... I never really cared about turkey. Then a friend asked me to hatch some for her. I fell in love with those babies. I kept them for about 2-3 weeks. Then she picked them up. So sad. Few weeks later I grabbed some eggs at a local auction and hatched 2/3. I was so excited. They are like puppies. The hen "Sweet Thang" flies over the fence and hangs out with us, the tom "Jitterbug" is such a character. He drums and thumps and dances around so proud. He helps me do chores. Silly boy !

Oh please... He would just have to have one then he would be in total love. My husband hates chickens but he really loved our broad breasted bronze Tom. He was upset when tomes leg got broken. I was relieved in a way, he was bought for thanksgiving dinner, and I really really doubt we could have processed him if he hadn't broken his leg

This has been one very hard day and the next few will be worse. Reading all your stories has been heart wrenching and heart warming. You've made a tough day feel like their we're others there too. I would hug every one of you and do things to make you all smile if I could. I have some yummy chocolate rum cake that I would share with each and every one of you.

Our loss was on feb 23. Each year as it approaches I struggle to get through. Memories are sacred things and those of you that have shared those have helped. Those of you that have offered comfort or an ear are the arms that give us hugs. My loss like others I'm sure is still held tightly not that I don't want to share. It's just that's all I have left. The pain reminds me that it was real where others have forgotten.

Thanks for sharing, thanks for listening, thanks for not judging, thanks for caring. You have all made a difference.
