Thank you everybody for all your support!!!!!!!

I really appreciate it.

It's sibling didn't make it, so if anyone know where we can get some baby turkey poults please let me know.

This little turkey is the sweetest thing. I just love it!!!!!!

It is so pretty!!! I do believe it has a lot of Blue Slate Traits. It's going to be fun to watch it grow. Look at it's blue back and sweet, sweet yellow face.

Can you believe that something this sweet & small grows up to be so big. Sure wish I knew what sex it was.

Here's some updated pics. Enjoy!!!!!

Here it is scooting all around the bator waiting to dry off. It would look at us with it's sweet little face like..."Hey, get me out of here!" So we gave it some friends to stare at while it waited to dry.

Here it is today all dry and fluffy w/ it's little stuffed animal friends.

Hey Kim, yes you have a blue slate baby for sure. Still keep me posted on how it does. Make sure to feed it high protein feed or just substitute a scrambled egg ocassionally.

I really, really wanted a blue slate. That's great news!!!!!!!!

I thought it might be one.

For now I've been giving it a 22% Chick starter/grower (non-med) & I also hard boiled some eggs to feed it some yolk today. It's eating & drinking with encouragement.

Poor little fellow is lonely. I'm going to go pick it up some friends next week.

Thank you so much for supplying the eggs to Lori to give to me for a gift.

It produced such a beautiful, sweet baby. I'm totally in love with it and so is my hubby and daughter.

It seems active & healthy, so lets keep our fingers crossed!!!!!
