Turkeys, Chickens, and Birds Oh my....

So it is Easter......Happy Eater Everyone who reads this. We had planned an uneventful day today, just hanging out with the kids. Then our friends Dave and Rachel showed up to our house with plans to go to someone elses house to pick up some stuff from this gentleman, who's wife had just passed due to brain cancer. We knew he had stuff he wanted to get rid of and he wanted to sell off his wife's birds because there were just too many of them. So he told us to have our pick and give him an offer. So I came home with 3 year old Burbon Red Turkeys, 2 toms and 1 hen for $20.00. What a deal. So Jon and I have spent the last couple of hours in the rain roping off the top of our chicken/ goat pen so the turkeys cant fly away. It is so neat just to sit back and watch them thumping and cackling. They are so big. I will post pics when they dry up. They look shaggy right now because they are all wet. We also ordered chickens from the Cackle Hatchery, We ordered the Hatchery Surprise Just to see what we would get, So know we have 35 Baby chickens of all kinds and 2 baby turkeys. I will post all of the pics of them tomorrow as well. Well off to check on the birds.
