The Turkeys are here!


  Ive been really wanting to raise our own food.  We are taking baby steps and starting with turkeys. The turkeys are shipped in the mail.  We ordered  broad breasted white turkeys.They are the most popular. Easy to dress because of their white feathers, they also get the biggest. The hens reach 25 pounds and the Toms as much as 45 pounds.

 Yes.... they are in the house, for now. They will be going out side soon.
  
 Once a herding dog, always a herding dog.  Mia will actually take them out gently and watch them run around.

 
They are cuter then I thought they would be.  I know just wait.....
