These turkeys actually came from the pound, lol!! They showed up at someone's house as little babies and they brought them to the pound... turns out they are Royal Palm turkeys (the one in the pic yesterday is just solid white, the others have the black markings). I am hoping to have babies in the spring, but like Natalie said, turkeys are often poor breeders and worse mothers if the eggs do hatch. We'll see. They are not a meat breed, but of course can be eaten, they just don't get that heavy breast.

Rhea, I was looking for a pic of the silkies we had a couple of years ago for Mikhaila but can't find one right now. They're so cute!!!

Here are my good morning pics for today... my co-worker Kerry brought her sister's pet squirrel to the office yesterday... omg, we had SUCH a fun time with him!!!! They found him as a tiny baby and raised him. He is SUCH a character!!! He is so amazing, he comes when you call him, he even scratches at the door to go out-- I never knew squirrels were so personable and certainly never knew they would cling to you like he does. They leave him loose in the house most of the time, and he even sleeps with them (he nests into the covers). Too darn cute!!!!







Sorry the pics are poor, they are off the cell phone. You all have a GREAT DAY!!!!!
