    Is it true turkeys can drown in the rain?

    I was wondering if this was an obscure American something, as I didn’t get the reference at all :þ

    Wild turkeys don’t drown in the rain. But the turkeys usually raised on farms are bred for rapid growth, not intelligence, and do have this and similar problems.

    Disclaimer, we’ve never actually raised commercial turkeys, but we raised chickens at home and see lots of wild turkeys in Virginia, and were acquainted with a commercial turkey farmer. We raised Rhode Island Red chickens, which are fairly self-sufficient – they just wander around eating bugs and grain the goats drop. You protect them from the racoons and weasels, and grab one of them occasional yourself in return. :-)
