Lots of folks have been asking about our (their) turkeys. It must be coming to that time of year when summer starts to end, fall is almost here, and thoughts of Thanksgiving start emerging from deep within.
This year we decided to raise more...

Our houses, fields, brooders, and hoop houses are full of poultry right now. Almost all of the poultry to be raised this year is on the farm at this moment except for another 200 or so turkeys, some more muscovy ducks, and a couple hundred quail. Bird chores...

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....

This morning, I was awoken at 5:39 in the morning. The post office had called, and my chicks had arrived to get them. Dianna and I got dressed, and drove down to the post office. We range the bell at the back entrance, and, after waiting...

It's sort of ironic. Big Guy died last night probably right around the same time the first of his babies this year made its first peck at its egg shell and began the process of hatching. The circle of life in one hour. No poults (baby turkeys)...

Last night I was awakened by a loud chirping at 2:00 am.I got up, being careful not to awaken my husband, and got the flashlight. It was the sound of the first arrival of Blue Slate Turkey poults hatching. We set 36 eggs from our current breeders to...

Tonight, I went outside to do the evening chores. I took care of the chickens, and then headed to the turkeys. I headed through the barn as usual, turning on the lights in the stall to encourage the turkeys to come in. I went out the back...

Exciting news! I saw the first of the turkey eggs rocking this morning! Inside the egg, a few days before hatching, the chick (in this case, the baby turkey, or poult) breaks into the air cell at the big end of the egg and starts breathing the...

Grrrrrrr! The incubator that I'm using for the chicken eggs makes me mad! I cannot get the temperature to stabilize, and now I'm seeing the consequences. Dianna and I did twelfth day candling today, and we had to get rid of twenty-one of the...

Hey, what's that sound in there?
Hey look! That one is trying to escape! Quick, catch it!
Here is our nice, clean, and...

When I was a little kid, I remember reading books (or having books read to me) set on farms well in the past. The farmers would have visitors, and for a nice meal for their guests, they'd grab a chicken from the barnyard and butcher it. It seemed...

No, I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth! The computer (and my time) has been used lately for taxes and other things more import than blogging. Not too much has happened since the 14th. I've been engaged with a battle with the chicken...

This morning, when I went out to do my morning chores, I was going to let Rosy out of the nest box to eat, drink, and do her business. She was nicely settled on the eggs, though, and refused to get off. Maybe she was going to be a good broody after...

This morning, Rosy was desperate to get of the nest box. When I let the other turkeys outside, she started making a ruckus. I then commence to let her out of the nest box into a small, enclosed area of the barn. She briefly stopped at the...

Yesterday was Sonny's big day. He made a wonderful centerpiece for our Easter dinner, and all of our guests couldn't get over how tender and delicious the turkey was. We didn't have enough stuffing, though. After being plucked, etc., Sonny weighed...

Yesterday evening, the turkey hens flew over the pasture
fence into the woods. I felt bad
for Big Guy, my tom, who weighs so much that flying seems painful for him, was
staring through the fence, worrying about his hens’ safety. I went to...
