turkens?
I was reading another thread and came cross mention of turkens - did a
little research and discovered they are really chickens. But my dumb
question is this: does the meat taste any different from a chicken?
Are there other foul that are easy to raise that make good meat
animals? I mean, other than chickens, turkeys, ducks, and game hens?
What about pheasant? Are they easy to raise and/or worth the effort?
The reason I am asking is that we are looking into animal husbandry of
different sorts, for the future (raise our own meat and eggs -
primarily rabbits and chickens but would eventually diversify).
TIA for any info.
