Have you seen the Gordon Ramsay series "F-word"? He is keeping turkeys with his kids that they are fattening up for Xmas. You cant eat something that you have named! It justbrings to mind too many images on canabalism. I would be bad tempered too if I laid something like that! Have you seen the Gordon Ramsay series “F-word”?

Although I was thinking I'd have to do the same thing if the fox mauls one of them. Basil and Sybil are named after Basil and Sybil Fawlty. I wanted a quail named Manuel too, but KB drew the line. Basil isn't a bantam, she's some sort of grey breed, and very large. I think Sybil is bantam because she is so much smaller - she's very similar to Emma Chook, who used to live next-door at Turramurra. He wrung their necks – that’s gross!

Some escaped and he had to spend one night clambering around the neighbours backyards trying to recover these, wring their necks and reduce the complaints that had gone to Council about these feral chooks. We all refused to eat them.....they were pets. If you go around that part of Gordon, there are probably some of these birds still haunting the area. By the way, how did Basil get her name and why is a male named Bantam laying eggs?....maybe she is a cross with the feral Gordon breed !!!!!
