View attachment 1968936 This was Choochie, he topped out at 70lbs; sadly he had an infection and had to be put down and we couldn’t eat him. His mate though was only slightly smaller, and when he went I chose to end her suffering, (due to a broken toe that would t heal), at the same time. So we did roast her, and she was delicious! Despite being 4yrs old, she was tender and juicy. I only did half at a time though, I could never have put her whole in the oven!

Dang. I mean to tell you, y’all grow them huge up north.

I dont think I have ever seen turkeys that big before unless I count my ex.

Well did ya now? That oughta make anything taste good.

I’ve learned a lot reading this thread. And those poor poults have a face only a mother could love.

Yes Choochie was a pet too, but I always said we’d eat him when the time came, he was nice with me and I was sorry for the way things ended. He was a broad breasted bronze too, he was six and he just kept getting bigger! The last time I weighed him he was five and it was a real struggle, I had to get him in a laundry basket to do it and we were both pretty stressed - do you have any idea how hard it is to deadlift 70lbs of thrashing struggling turkey!?!

Thats exactly the same thing they do to me at the drs when they try to get my weight !

Well, half a can anyway.

Okay, really he just sat on that empty can, huh?
