Will small frozen turkeys be in short supply this year?

Wouldn’t be surprised if small turkeys are in short supply this year. Read quite recently that turkey farmers will probably slaughter the birds earlier than usual then freeze them. That way they don’t have a chance to get fattened up. (In that case maybe small fresh turkeys will be as rare as hen’s teeth this year).

This is the one I ordered

I have never bought a small turkey but this would have been plenty for the two of us.

I meant to say that I didn’t realise that you can get such a small turkey at 3kg.

I haven’t been able to buy a cauliflower from sainsbury on LK e for about a month.

We've just had our weekly Tesco delivery. I ordered a small 3kg frozen turkey as there will only be two of us this year and I'm buying things for the freezer gradually rather than worry about delivery slots closer to Christmas.

They were out of stock so Tesco sent a 3kg turkey crown!! Enough for 8-10 shock shock

I'm not complaining because they didn't charge me the extra £5 and all leftovers will be turned into dishes for the freezer but I'm wondering if the predicted small turkey shortage, due to abnormal demand, is already kicking in.
