My neighbour would. His specialty is baby pig in a bottle, amazing that people will pay $60 or $80 for them. I think he has got around $120 for them. Mummified rats is another specialty.The glass is actually getting worn around the edges like beach glass. I'll put it on eBay organic Turkey beach glass.![]()
That's what gizzards do... A bird without a gizzard, or gravel (or whatever) is an unhealthy, maybe even dead, bird.I'm guessing turkeys don't get hardware disease, found all this in a turkey gizzard today. He liked his bling obviously.View attachment 34546View attachment 34547
Yup... like the hearts even more.Anyone eat gizzard? I remember lots eating them when i was young.
Not sure why but never remember eating hearts.Yup... like the hearts even more.

i have always had cattle but, in the early 70's i also raised turkeys for about 12 years. had open sheds with the back closed. was quite a cacophony when the sun came up and the turkey were pecking on the sheet iron sides wherever a nail hole let the sunlight shine in. they would peck at anything or chase after what one turkey had for a treat. they would eat anything that they thought was shiny. several would eat something that ruptured their crop(craw). it would swell until the turkey died. sometimes i would catch the turkey and have a little surgery. open the crop, clean, disinfect, and suture. worked sometimes, but with 45-50,000 per crop time was too limited to continue.Back when ostriches make their appearance as the farming pyramid scheme of the 1980s-90s, I saw a lot of zinc toxicosis in birds that were fenced in with hot-dip galvanized chain-link fencing. Those big dumb birds would peck away the 'drops' of galvanized material that hardened, mostly on the edges of the wire - and we'd find lots and lots of the little zinc splatters/pops in their gizzard. Somewhere around here I have a black walnut that I removed from an ostrich gizzard at necropsy... all the outer ridges are worn off - it's totally smooth.
