Midget White Turkey Poults Hatch

Blog: Flip Flop Ranch   -   Saturday July 03, 2010   -   By Serina

Watching Babies

Blog: The Call Again Farm Journal   -   Wednesday April 29, 2009   -   By Laura

It's so fun to watch the chicks!  Whenever I go outside, some are resting, some are eating, and a few are running around.  When they see me though, towering over them like a big predator or a hawk, they all run and hop-fly into a huddle....
