A Random - mostly FOWL post :)

Our chickens are funny !   Look at the different sizes of eggs we get.  We regularly get monster sized ones, but that tiny one?  It was no bigger than a robins egg.  Too funny.

Our Tom turkey is just over 4 months old.  Can you believe how big and pretty he is getting?  I've ALWAYS wanted a turkey like this.  

Now some may say he is ugly, with his blue head, and red neck (referred to as a WATTLE)  and those bumpy hanging red pustule looking things (that are actually know as CARUNCLES), but I don't think he is.  That funny looking thing coming off the top of his nose is  interesting.  It grows and shrinks, and grows and shrinks........it's called a SNOOD.  Now you know all about turkeys !

We got a few new additions to the barnyard last night.  3 chickens.  I really just wanted the Turken and the Wyandotte, but they threw in the barred rock for free.  This is a picture of our Turken.  No, she's not 1/2 turkey and 1/2 chicken, but she does look like a cross with her featherless red neck.  This is the best picture I could get.  She is really strange looking, that's for sure !  

My doorbell rang last night, and one of my sweet little Primary girls dropped this by.  Thanks Jessi !!

Last but not least !  BUY FRANZ !!  In Ridley's now :)  Rog works at the Salt Lake bakery where they make all of the buns, but their bread is shipped from Nampa Idaho.  Pretty good stuff :)
