Wild Turkey and the girls...

 Rose looked out and spotted six wild turkeys down at Lake Chloe, they slowly made their way up to the house then flew up into the apple tree right behind the house then down to the field again.  Amazing a bird that large flys so well.  They later flew up into the big pines at the back of the property.  We've only seen wild turkey here once before, maybe our white females called them in...









 The does came in this evening too, five in total.

Our Turkeys are Laying Eggs...

 Our two white turkey hens started laying eggs this week.  See those large brown, speckled eggs, those are the turkey eggs, alongside some chicken eggs for scale.  The eggs almost match the speckling on the kitchen counter.  The turkey eggs are bigger, harder to crack open, but otherwise just an egg.

Can you say Scrambled?
