We've gotten a kick out of seeing them for the last few months, strolling around like posh Edwardians on holiday. Of course, I can't help but look at them and think Thanksgiving.
This afternoon, I walked into my kitchen to put a glass in the sink, and there they were, all five of them, perched on my deck railing, just outside my kitchen window. I was shocked at just how big they really are. Of course I had to get my camera, although they weren't too happy about my opening the door and they quickly took off flapping for the yard.
Maybe if I spread some cracked corn I can keep them coming until November.
Number five seemed to elude my camera for every shot

Yes but who will pluck them?
Or did I misunderstand?
:0)
I think it's neat they come so close to your house. We see turkeys here everywhere, but they are always at a distance.
And, yeah...just who is going to pluck them...and cut off their heads and feet...and...gut them...blech. LOL
Someone has to do it.
Food is not magically created. Something has to give it's life to feed you, be it foul, fish, or fungus. Besides, it's not so bad and it kinda gives you an appreciation for how you eat.
So, I guess to answer your questions, I would pluck and dress them, but my husband would do the "chopping". I have horrible aim, especially with a wiggling target.
Mrs. Bridget,
As far as I can tell, the "children" are all male, but if they want to lay eggs and reproduce, I say "Yum!". I was hoping to add a small flock of chickens to our little house this year, maybe they will have turkeys to keep them company, lol.
