For this week's Thanksgiving episode the Good Growing team sits down with Illinois Extension local foods educator James Theuri to talk turkey! James gives us the background of turkey production and how you can raise a Thanksgiving turkey in your very own backyard. James also discusses turkey breeds and dealing with predators. Plus your questions: Is it wise to introduce sheep with chickens and cows on the same pasture? What can be killing my baby chicks? What to do when I first receive my order of chicks? I am grazing my chickens in my garden this winter. When do I need to remove them to avoid any food contamination issues with their manure? All this and much more!
