I'm thinking I could provide the Fam with some healthy turkey and maybe make a few bucks too.

If you have enough room, Turkeys are as easy as chickens. They eat a lot though. Ours would call wild birds up too.

I have seen them eat themselves to death if they got into the food source (cracked feed). We had a couple of escape artists get in the barn from their pen one night and absolutely gorged themselves to death. Weirdest thing I've ever seen a bird do. Hard to believe that a bird that hard to hunt in the wild would do that in captivity. Must have been some crazy survival instinct to feed.
