>>>The turkeys were about 3/4's the size of the geese. One of the geese would hit a turkey in the thigh and momentarily cripple them, then the two would beat the turkey to death with their wings. Saw the first part happen and by the time I could get out to the 'bird yard' it was over.

>The turkeys raised here get about twice the size of a goose (not linear, but by mass or volume). A turkey drumstick of 0,7 kg isn't anything special.

They do get big. At outdoor events around here smoked turkey legs are a big seller, and you (or I, anyway) can make a meal out of one.
