Wild baby turkey wants in Chicken coop

[vfem]

I'd coax it over to a seperate area with seperate feed.... then fatten it up... Happy Thanksgiving!

It is turkey and deer hunting season right now, isn't it? I bet its lost its family to hunters and is just trying to find a safe spot. Give it some love and then invite it in for a Roast.

I have had mother turkeys come in my yard and leave there babies behind and hens have rasied them . They never gave my birds any diseases . And when they were full grown the whent off into the woods and now they live in the woods across the street and we see them every now and then

Now keeping Canadian Geese without federal permit will get you jail time.


If you order Wildlife you will need proof they have a permit, and most state you will need one.


Oh yes REMEMBER they check forums. Know some have been caught killing birds of prey. After posting that info on forums

Thats great, but wanting to let others know the danger or removing. birds from the wild.

Know its a Federal law The geese,or their eggs can NOT be remove from the wild.

Most states have laws, from taken wild turkey from the wild.

Deerman, I believe here in Maine that the fine is $1500 for harming, handling or running into a Wild Turkey.
Also, to the best of my knowledge housing a wild animal is up for jail time.
And playing dumb to the legalities does not get you off the hook...it gets you infront of the judge.
