At first I thought that these attacks were amusing! My daughter was accosted by a few but by the grace of God they didn’t attack her. I guess they were content to watch her stand there. When a car finally came (after 30-45 min.) they were distracted & she ran.

my encounter with turkey is always when i roast one during special occasions, it usually comes frozen ready to be marinated after thawing in the ref for sometime… stuffed then roasted for 3 to 4 hours depending on its size then some gravy is made from its drippings… always tasty.

Turkeys scare me! Being chased in the province by 2 big ones had me running for the stairs in the door. Didn’t wait to find out if they could climb the stairs too. =)

They are not so aggressive when they are being deep-fried in peanut oil.

turkeys from my childhood were quite tame compared to the goose!

also, my aunt who raised turkeys, geese & other fowl had this creative idea of coloring the fowls feathers in shades of pink, yellow, green & orange

back to turkey- i remember my aunt making a tinola out of it aside from the usual fried & roast turkey

I was pecked by one of the turkeys of our neighbor…on the butt! I was 8 or 9 years old and I can still recall it was sooo painful! It traumatized me a lot that i wouldn’t even go with my mom when she would visit this neighbor. Even if they would cajol me with ice cream—no way!

I’m also frustrated looking for 2kilo roasting chickens. The puny 1 kilo ones out there seem such a waste to fire the over for.

Where have all the big chickens gone?

On a related note, the egg sizes in the Metro Manila markets are a disgrace! Boxes marked “LARGE” have puny eggs. Up end the box and see how much free space there is in that egg pocket.

Hmn, which came first do you think? The chicken problem or the egg problem.
