Our local feed store is a delightfully quirky place.
Owned and operated by a wonderful man who shares our love of critters, I always look forward to shopping there.
Case in point….
When a turkey chick failed to sell last year because it had a deformity of it’s wing? He adopted it.
The bird is now large, spoiled silly and something of a feed store mascot.
When the temperature drops to near freezing?
She comes inside and stays by the wood stove…
Because even turkey birds get cold.
Please note there are two chickens under the table as well.
I love my town!!
River's world..... 
Well ok then.
What am I talking about? I had a calf in my house for a bit.

You assume correctly — and it comes in especially handy at a time like this. 😉

My feed store keeps a couple of cockatiels and a bunny rabbit that fly/run around the store. They also have a pug – but she doesn’t stay in the store all the time.

Oh I do like this. Nothing like a turkey’s shelter needs to put your own problems in perspective.

I often put turkeys in the wood stove. Oh, re-read that. BY the wood stove. That doesn’t go as well with mashed potatoes but it is much cuter.

I’d ask if they taught him some tricks but it isn’t polite to play with your food…

It’s a lady bird, and no tricks. Unless you count pooping on every inch of the floor, that… she nailed.

Thank god he doesn’t sell baby cows, I do not think it could fit under the table with the chickens.
