Turkens!!!

Many thanks to my dear friend, Gina King, for picking up my Turkens. I am now the proud owner of two roosters and five hens. They are lovely birds. I'm starting to think I'd rather have an entire flock of them. So nice to have birds (Turkens and Dominiques) who aren't aggressive. After those mean Rhode Island Reds I had the first year, I promised myself I'd never have another mean bird.

Welcome Turken Chicks!

Turken chicks in the brooder

We had a great day today. Made two new friends in Mitch and Beverly Sconfienza of Silver Hill. We bought 20 of their little Turkens. After a quick trip south, we found that Mitch and Beverly share many of our loves including Nubian goats and Great Pyrenees.

We made it home just before dark. Installed the chicks in the brooder and added three eggs (thanks, Beverly) to the incubator.

In approximately 21 days, we'll have Dominique chicks and more Turkens to join these chicks. I may set a few Bantam Cochins tonight. Haven't quite decided.
