lonely turkey

[Mykee]

I have a single Lilac turkey who loves people, but she's really lonely.

Any suggestions? - besides getting another one?

If you can't get more turkeys can you at least get a chicken hen or two for her to pass the time with?

She has a chicken hen. She doesn't like her.

Was she raised with other turkeys or by herself? Maybe you need to spend more time with her... She could be an indoor turkey!

Ok, just kidding.... I was also going to suggest a few chickens. I have a single turkey hen who was raised with chicks so I don't know that she knows any different. She's currently trying to hatch out chicken eggs! Other than that. I'd look for another turkey hen for her to talk to... Sorry not much help I guess.

She's VERY pretty...

If nothing else works you could always send her yo one of us
Hope she finds a buddy.
I have one chicks hatch and boy was that a mess he was not to happy with his chicken friends for a long time.
I had to put him with chicks 1/2 his size and he still got beat up.

Best of luck!

I have one single turkey hen, and I have to run her out of the hen house all day long. I swear she would sit in there and set every chicken hens eggs. she pushes them under her and I have to get them out from under her. She is very social with us. Loves attention. But I worry too, that she is lonely for a turkey friend.
