She told her mum the clutch of eggs she snuck into her bedroom were just chickens — but she ended up with six boisterous turkeys.
Three years later, Trevor was the sole survivor when the brood was attacked by a fox.
After a second fox attack the following year, Trevor disappeared but returned to the family’s farm two days later sporting a back injury.
