Find out exactly where they are roosting (they roost in trees). Once you have accomplished this, scare them off of their roost.  If you do this a couple of times they will find somewhere else to roost. It probably will work after the first attempt.

How much do you guys like turkey, how do you feel about leftovers, and how much freezer space do you have?\n\nThe usual rule of thumb for company meals is "one pound per person", to give you a good solid meal and _some_ leftovers.  But frankly, you're better off cooking a BIG bird----there's 2 of us, and we do an 18-20 pound  unstuffed bird!---because of the better meat-to-bone ratio.\n\nLeftover turkey will keep in the refrigerator easily until Sunday, under plastic wrap (or in the roasting pan).  Frozen, in plastic freezer bags or containers (use chicken broth, from bouillion cubes if you must, to store it)---you've got about 4-6 months to use it up.\n\nYou've got turkey tetrazzini, turkey and rice (or noodles), turkey pot pie, turkey and gravy, turkey sandwiches, turkey veggie soup....LOTS of things you can do with leftover bird, and it's a lifesaver for fast meals, especially if you're a multi-worker household.\n\nHave a great holiday!

My goodness!  All those people and you're on bed rest?!?!?!\nLet everyone else bring the food, you can do potluck.\nI do have a story.  My nephew's wife was responsible one year for cooking the turkey.  She got up very early in the morning and put it on, fixed other things, then decided she would lay down for a while.  Well, of course she fell asleep, and when she woke up it was almost dinnertime.  The turkey had cooked to leather.  Luckily she is a quick thinker.  She borrowed leftover dark meat from a friend who had done her turkey the day before.  And she went to a restaurant in town and bought a cooked turkey breast.  She cut it up and stuck it on a platter together and came on to dinner at my sister's house.  Told them she had decided to carve it at home.  My mother bragged on how good and tender it was.  She didn't tell my sister (her mother-in-law) about it for years!\nSeriously, let the family help you.  They will understand.  So put your turkey in the oven (don't go to sleep and forget it, though!)\nLet the hubby straighten the house.  Let the others cook and bring a dish.  Then let them all clean up.  While they're at it, they can do the decorating while you supervise from the sofa!\nGood luck to you, and Happy Thanksgiving.

I am more of a turkey when my worst fears come home to roost. It puts me in a fowl mood. It makes me want to pick up my drum stick and just beat it.

I am very, very sorry to hear that BillsFan...  I also have PN pretty much all over my body.  I KNOW how painful it is.  \n\nThere's a really good book that I found on PN that has really informed me of all of the mysterious causes.  Mine has also come on for no real "true" reason.  Read my other answers @ my q&a page and see if that helps.  I wish you the best of luck.

Well, well, well, quite a conundrum.\nI have a few thoughts.  \noption #1: Call up Lori ann directly and tell her you would love to cook the turkey, ask if she minds bringing side dishes instead, but if she insists on cooking the stupid bird, let it go.  I would tell her that you want to make a small turkey for yourself, just so she doesnt freak when she comes in your house.  I would cook one myself, for these reasons:\n1. to have the smell of cooking turkey in the house \n2. for leftovers for your family because bird # 1 will be devoured by the guests\n3. you will have the free range variety to ingest\n and \n4. just because its your house and you can do what you want, and you are getting to host, which you wanted to do and its a lot of work to host on its own.\nOption #2:\ndont call her at all and still cook your own bird and whatever else you want and let her bring the stupid bird .  you are getting to host it which is what you really wanted anyway. Just let your mother and her know that you are making a bird "on the side" or hide it in the basement ;0\nOption #3:\ndont cook a bird and you will have oh so much less hastle because the stupid turkey takes so much time to cook, that all the side dishes will be cooked effortlessly without Tom Turkey in the way\noption 4:\nput turkey in microwave to purge it from carcinogens because it is not a free ranger and explode it accidentally (just kidding)\noption 5:\nsmother turkey with mayonnaise from a squeeze bottle and ...oh, just kidding!\nLast part of my opinion:\ndont put your mother in the middle to communicate or things could get ugly ;)\nOption 2 is probably what I would do myself.  \np.s. hubby says if you lived down here, you could take her turkey out back when she arrives and use it as target practice, then serve your own ;)\nand I know, believe me, that it is frustrating to hear that mom doesnt want to hurt HER feelings, but what about yours???  But like I said, if you get to host it, then resolve it with one of the above or better suggestions, so that it goes well for you and doesnt cause your adrenal system to decompensate.

My grandfather had that problem.  My grandma fixed it by putting treats for the raccoons...like leftover chicken in one spot and the garbage in the other.  As long as you remember to put out the treats you should not have a problem.

Oh yes, I'll be having turkey.  In fact there is one very nervous turkey in my back yard, picketing!!! (sign says, "Pork, the other white meat.)\n\nI like turkey, but if it is dry it can taste pretty yucky.\n\nGood luck.  If you were coming to my house I'd give you your pepperoni pizza and eat the turkey myself.\n\nPeace.
