So excited!!!! Thought I would share.......went to Atwoods to get chicken starter and of course they had the bins out FULL of baby birds....had to look....pocketbook screamed NOOOOOO but couldn't resist!!! On a whim I bought 5.....they were on SALE how could I not? They were BBB oh turkeys with color!!!!! Then I get home and start reading last night and realize that they cannot reproduce and are heavy like cornish chickens...oh well kinda bummed there but that's ok we will have fun raising them. I really really really want a tom and two hens of the N turkeys...nagaransett sp? oh I am so bad anyhow the colorful ones that will reproduce!!! They are so weird as chicks....I know one is a tom.....guess what it did? They barely have feathers but the little thing puffed up and strutted !!!!!! It was the cutest thing ever!!!! I want to get a pic of it doing it! They move slow and cautious and don't seem as skittish as the brooder chicks. Anyhow I just thought it was really neat. Who knew Atwoods carried TURKEYS????!!!!! lol lol My hubby is threatening to ban me from Atwoods!
