We've made it to the one month mark. All healthy and active. Had one little girl with a turned leg/foot for several days but would never know it now ☺️
The kiddie pool was their present 💝
Last year I got my first flock of turkeys. At just over a month they began "strutting" I found it so sweet to watch.😍
