It's white and snowy here too. They said 1-3 inches overnight and by morning, changed it to 3-6 inches. DD had her birthday party today and only 3 girls came, all in trucks lol. Hubby took the subaru down in to town to get some pizza and almost lost control. VERY slippery out there!

My super dee duper craigslist find tonight... i think i neeeds me so e of these heritage birds.....

“The Broad Breasted Bronze has been the most popular turkey variety for most of American history. This heritage breed originated from crosses between the domestic turkeys brought by European colonists to the Americas and the eastern wild turkeys they found upon their arrival. The hybrid vigor of this cross resulted in turkey stocks that were larger and more vigorous than the European birds, and they were also much tamer than wild turkeys. The coppery-bronze colored metallic sheen, which gives the variety its name, was part of the inheritance from its wild ancestors.The Bronze was recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1874. It is currently a threatened heritage breed in need of conservation.”

Seems we have a small Missouri contingent with Fred, Feedman and me as a part-timer. Cool.

Speaking of "cool"... it's 18 here this morning. Not good for us...

My turkeys...still on their roost...are so puffed up they look like two huge basketballs. My chickens have all piled up in their communal nest box. Why don't my turkeys huddle up for warmth like my chickens? They roost several feet apart. Any thoughts?
