Sorry there hasn't been a post in quite a while. To say we have a lot going on is an understatement. Let me try to get caught up with some of the recent goings-on.
3 weeks ago Dan butchered turkeys. Except for one that seemed to figure out what was going on and flew the coop. Literally. We have a 6-foot high barb-wired fence that separates us from a Girl Scout Equestrian Camp. The turkey flew over the fence while Dan was trying to catch her. Later, she realized where her food and water was and wanted back over, but couldn't figure out how. Finally the next day she figured it out and flew back over. Since all her turkey buddies were gone, she started hanging out with chickens during the day. A pretty funny sight.
As far as the butchering, Dan's decided he really likes turkeys better than chickens. Everything is larger, therefore, easier to eviscerate. However, he doesn't like that 1) turkeys really aren't very smart and 2) if his truck is left outside, they use the hood as a roost. One nice thing about the new farm is that the pasture and yard will be two distinct areas, so we won't have to worry about hood-roosting.
