Tom Turkey Needed-- Cochrane AB

I need a tom. simple as that--- no breed specially needed, just a boy that is ready to look after a few girls

my hens are all laying and broody. if I could find a tom now, I could actually let them do their own thing naturally and have turkeys in time for Thanksgiving. (that is why I dont care about what breed it is, as they are just going to be meat birds and pets   )


looking for something fairly local, or where I could possibly arrange for some sort of PAID delivery.

Try Grandma Art Sure she might have a couple

thank you.  she is on the top of my list for turkey people in my head, but in my condition right now I cant drive that far, nor do I think it fair to impose on others to help me transport a bird from that far this time of year.  I was hoping for something a little closer to home-- or at least within an hour!

edited to add--- I had also noted that she had posted much earlier (sept maybe?) that she was sold out of turkeys for the year and not taking egg orders until maybe early this year so I am sure that means she is also sold out of anything of breeding age....  she does have some beautiful birds though! might be a good thing she is sold out!  

I tried to convince Amy to sell you her last tom turkey and hen pair but she is dead set against it. These are hers, I sold all mine, but hopefully you can find something local Claire.
I cant off the top of my head think of anyone in your area with some, but if I hear of any I will let you know.

Thank you so much Jayme!  

I dont even have anything of interest to trade Amy for her tom!  ahaha  but a good kid, tell her not to worry!  I am sure I will find something--- nice thing is I dont need or want anything fancy!  so that opens up my options.  I just need a tom that will do some manly man things  


Actually Jayme!  my email isnt working right now so I cant really message you through there.  But Mister is on his way out to Kindersly SK today/tomorrow.  is there anyone on that route that you can think of?  I will pay well, and of course a finders fee!!


EDITED> KINDERSLY, not Kimberly. where the frick I got that I have no idea!!!

I will post around and see what I can find for you.

Try messaging Prodgers on here he might have an extra turkey tom for sale, or a friend of his. That is who I sold some turkeys to last year.

I sent you a PM, let me know if you got it

I have lots of Toms but I dont know anyone going to the Calgary area from around Watrous SK. If anyone knows someone I could send one along. I have around 40 Toms and hens.

oh snap!  so many toms, and yet so far away!!  

Thank you so much though, I definitely appreciate the effort from everyone!!   Mister is out in Sk today, probably overnight, so hoping that will help extend my search-area a little bit!!  (he is in Kindersly, and I am going to guess that is still pretty far from your neck of the woods DLC)

Butterboy, pm received, email sent! thank you, and fingers crossed I hear back some positive news!

Hidden, thank you so much for popping out some messages!!

There is a fellow up west of Edmonton with 2 bourbon red toms for sale Lanaire, not sure if your Mr. goes that way at all or not, I will PM you the fellow's email in case someone is heading that way.

I have the 2 bourbon red toms, I will be going down to Carstairs this weekend, and could meet somewhere along the way, sorry but I wouldn't be able to deliver directly to you.

Duckopolis I didn't know you were a member here, this is the fellow I was telling you about Lanaire. Hopefully you guys can meet up.

Duckopolis
I am emailing you right now! Hopefully we can make arrangements

* waves * I havent chosen my breeding birds yet, and I am sure I can find a Tom or 2 that
will be extra if you can find a way over Claire.... :-) I always have a few more then I really need... ;-)
