Really...I wonder if they are close to me...someone a few blocks over has a rooster...we hear him every day. How do you like having turkeys? What do you do with them? I’ve heard they make great pets!

My friends do have a rooster and are off Magnolia. We love the Turkeys, however, we do raise them for meat. The breading pair are going on 4 years. They are really nice birds. Our Tom is not aggressive at all and watches over the poults with the hen. However, funnily enough, he does NOT like the color Teal. My raincoat is that color, everytime I wear that color, he gets very agitated.

Totally understand, that is what we did. It is not work when it is fun. Really do enjoy my girls. I'm not far away if you have any questions. I know this is bold, however, we all need it at sometime, - Would you be interested in chicken sitting - opening/closing, collecting eggs, food/water? It's always good to have people around to help out and vice versa. And, its hard to find people who will do the right thing. lol

I would love to help you...but I have 2 jobs so I’m gone most of the day. I work retail...and babysit! I hope you find someone to help! We go to Ohio a few times a year to visit my daughter...didn’t go this summer...because of the chickens. I have 3 children that live at home and one in Coram...everyone’s schedual is so busy! Do you have any neighbors that would be willing to help?
