Thanksgiving and Christmas
Well, they didn't get butchered. I'd filled my freezer with meat from some Zycon sales and our vegetable garden, and didn't have room for them.
Then the hen started laying eggs. Then I saw them doing the hootchie-kootchie and one of my Buff Orpingtons went broody, so I figured what the hell? I put 5 turkey eggs under the broody hen and this afternoon, when I went out to gather eggs, there were 2 baby turkeys under her. I imagine I'll have more later. I moved her out of the henhouse and into a stock tank in the feed room next to it. This is the first time we've bred our critters, so it is pretty exciting.
