Gobble Gobble!!




Ok, so we get 12 chicks, that in two months, will be laying 1 to 2 eggs a day. That is 1 to 2 dozens eggs a day!! But, like Paul says, don't count our eggs before they're layed! So then we get really adventurous, and decide to get one or two turkeys. We get to the store selling the turkey chicks and there is a minimum of 5 turkey chicks!! Ok, great!! We also went to get what might be male chicks, or not!! It's a guessing game, and we have to wait and see. So we get 6 maybe males, maybe not, and a minimum of 5 turkey chicks. The top pic is of male chicks (or not) and bottom is the turkey chicks, also a guessing game.

So Paul is still out building, what looks like the Taj Mahal of chicken coops. (Pictures soon)

No hurry, these little critters can't go outside till they have all their feathers. (maybe 4 weeks.....EEEEEKKKKK!!) Dang, for those old enough, hope we don't start looking like Ma and Pa Kettle!!!!! Chickens outside, chickens inside, chickens everywhere!!!!
