Happy 4th (ish). Just got back from New England. Crazy traffic, construction, and weather for the drive. Anybody need some turkey poults? Should be great for breeding or turkey day this year. Or baby Flemish Giant rabbits? Or, or...baby goats? Not sure what we're keeping from that pen...
Not the post I want to make. I'll be missing CS 2025 due to obligations out east (New England). I have the sign-up book and raffle tickets, etc. So that said, Cindy will be at a meeting in Birch Run on Thursday, 12 June. If someone wants to meet her near there at some point that day her cell...
A short time ago I mentioned a wild turkey. Last Spring it, it's Mom, and sibling, stayed here around my flock for some reason. Well the Mom and other baby went missing. So the young turkey stayed with my domestic for over a year...we couldn't make it go away. About a month ago a large flock...

Great seeing everyone today. Back to the grind. Power is back since we lost it Tuesday...comes on when we are Chickenstocking, lol. This area is devastated. Never seen this much carnage. Months of clean-ups and some houses will need to be torn down and rebuilt.
I have 2 male ducks. They are farm yard breeds. They look like mallards - green head and the blue patch on wings . Anyone want one, or both? They were born here naturally.
