Does anyone have them? What is involved with their care? How long do they live on average? My goose is 28 years old and I don't want to start with another long lived bird at my age. 12 years ish would be okay. What do you feed them? Are they grazers, scratchers rummagers?? What?? Cost of a pair of rare breed if any has any idea? Thanks.

There was a trio of Crollwitzer (pied) turkeys on NFED earlier this year for £100. They are stunning, more shaped like wild turkeys and usually kept as ornamental birds I believe.
