OMG that has got to be one of the cutest things I have ever seen...please don't make me want turkeys!!!!
Years ago I did a stupid...I ordered 50, yes, 50, large white turkeys...I was going to raise them and sell them for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners...make a couple of bucks...oh brother...they got so big and heavy, we had to march them to the chopping block, me on one wing and my son on the other...I had nothing big enough to heat water to dip them...it was a total disaster...one woman I sold one to had to cut the turkey in half to get it in the smoker...it dressed out at 51 pounds...I ended up filling the freeser and begging people to come and get a free turkey...I swore I would never have another one and did not want to eat a turkey for a very long time...

But that little guy doing the turkey strut as only a little boy turkey can do it, pulls at my heart strings...he is adorable...

If I ever have a turkey again it will be to enjoy on the hoof, not on my plate...oh darnit...I want one!!!! Heeeellllp! No more birds...no no...I don't NEED a turkey...

my 9 year old would shot me if i even said turkey.his old sitter had turkeys, and when he was 6 a old hen chased him all around the barn yard and floged him and left a knot on his neck for 2 monthes we didnt see broken skin so the doc thought it was a muscle problem but nothing helped so he got antbiotics and after a couple of weeks it was gone he wont even eat turkey for holidays any more.

Lap turkeys do not flog their humans.

OMG! I love that little guy, even thought he's all skin and no feathers.

I have not had a single tom flogging problem -- mine were tame -- except for the farmer who he hated. Well, guess what... the first time farmer saw him, farmer kicked him. And kicks at him every time he sees him. Now guess who tom doesn't like? But to everyone else he's a lover, not a fighter.

You're probably right. I got my founding fathers mixed up!
