Turkeys! Turkeys! Turkeys!

After I read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver for the first time several years ago, I wanted to raise turkeys. Well that day has finally arrived. We bought five young turkeys today, 4 Bourbon Reds and 1 Black Spanish at Tim and Susie's Henhouse Small Animal Swap Meet. In about 2-3 weeks these little ones will go outside. Until then they are under a brooder lamp in the basement. The boys love going down to admire them and so do I!

WE HAVE TURKEYS! I almost can't believe it!
