When Ken came into the Twin Cities to pick me up at the airport, he had a passenger - a turkey! It started when our farmer friend Evan had offered us some heritage turkeys, but he had lost the male to a coyote. I got on the world wide web and found some Narragansett toms available in Owatonna, Minnesota. Ken made the arrangements, went to Owatonna, and now we have a tom turkey.
In the last few days, the new guy on the farm has been puffing up and gobbling -
Ken had trimmed the turkey's feathers so he would not fly over the fence. Even with less plumage, this tom cuts quite a figure!
