Turkeys at two months & recent addition(s)

In the past two months the turkeys have grown alot! They now look like they might live up to their name- Mammoth Bronze Turkey! They're roaming around in the old pen and are having a great time (especially since the grass has grown back!).  We also were recently given three bantam roosters and put them in the pen with our turkeys. They are so small in comparison! I thought you all might want to see some pictures of them so one of our sisters went out and got some pictures for the blog! 

Here is what the turkeys looked like when we first got them:
Awwww!
So cute...for that time. :)

Here is what they look like now:
Wow, right!
 Big...and ugly. ;)
 If you're wondering what the middle turkey is doing....it is stretching it's wing and right leg. :)

These are the (much smaller) roosters that we were given:
They look so funny...strutting their (lack of) stuff!
 "When the grass is up to your waist...you're small." ;)
They are probably at their full grown size (the roosters) and the turkeys are probably only about 1/2 the size they will be. : 0  Big difference!
 This is a butterfly that my sister just had to take a picture of.
...Also this sunflower that rests in our back-yard...

:)

Other than that we have had a lot of new customers with demands for large amounts of eggs- That is a praise and a prayer request.  Thank the Lord that we have been able to sell what He has provided!  Pray that we will be able to provide more eggs with the same great quality, and that the Lord will show us what we are supposed to do with these new opportunities.  Thank you for reading and have a blessed week!

New chickens!

We haven't had time to post recently because we are very busy. Sorry!  So..... we have decided to get the chickens!  We got 50 Black Australorps that were already laying.  We got them last week and we're getting about 2 dozen eggs a day!

 The Black Australorps are all black and the ones that aren't are the older girls.  We also used a wagon as a chicken feeder, so it's a move around feeder!

Very black!!

The guys are always watching us.
And as always there was a chicken checking us out....
a older girl......
and a younger one!!

They have been very good chickens so far and we're glad we got them!
Till next time, God Bless!
