Six years ago, we adopted some turkey poults, just a few days old.

Sadly, this morning, we found the last one of our original group had died. He was called Biggie and held a very special place in our family.

Brock especially developed a close bond with him, and he has been very hard hit by the loss of his friend.

Biggie spent lots of time with the children, he was a gentle giant. He terrified visitors with his size & gobble, but he really was a lovely creature.

He fathered lots of his own poults over the years, and it was incredible to see how careful he was around them. They were so tiny & fragile, and he was so huge, but he was so careful and never hurt any of them.

Biggie loved to try and join in a game of football or Jenga with the children!

During covid he hurt his leg and ended up with a limp for the last few years of retirement with us.

You will be missed Biggie, you were a very important part of our life over the last 6 years ❤️
