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!

Moving chickens.

We did not post last week because there was nothing new to post about!!  Since we didn't have anything to post about we were going to post when we moved the 93 chickens with the 20 older chickens in our field!

Thank you for waiting!

Till next time, 

God Bless!

Growing Up!

Yes, these "little" chicks are doing great and are starting to get some wing and tail feathers!  What happens is that as the chicks grow and mature they start to lose their baby fluff and get real feathers!  The chicks have been in the outside coop near our house for a couple days now and are doing quite well!  The other day we had our sister (who is a photographer) takes some pictures of their up and coming feathers!  I am posting this now instead of Friday or Saturday because the pictures were taken awhile ago, making this post over-due :)!!  Please enjoy!

Have a great week!  God Bless!

More Chick Pictures!

Howdy! The chicks are doing much better than on other occasions!  This was our first time ordering from Mt. Healthy and they turned out wonderful!  Normally we have at least 4 die out of a batch of 100 but this batch has only yielded only one death! Take a look at some of these cute fellers!

 

 We gave these type of chicks the nickname of Egyptian because of their eyes.

 Aren't her eyes beautiful?!

I love the design on the face of this one!

Relax'n.

Little feathers coming in!

A gorgeous Golden Comet!

I love this little guy (girl? :)  It is the fluffiest chick out of all of them!!

I call him a lion, grizzly, or bear because of all his fluff!

Two chirping friends.
