Ok, I am still in Houston. But Hubby sent this to me. It's our first egg! He doesn't know who laid it. It was in our first coop. So I think it's Loudmouth's she's a Pekin, I hope it's not Runt's the egg looks like she might have exploded if she laid that. .

I'm blessed to be able to do. I am a firm believer when you help someone or an animal in need, you get more blessings than they ever do.....

Everyone is doing awesome. I'm sorry I haven't been on to post. My phone is out of memory and I never get a chance to sit at the computer. So I will put photos up as soon as I can.

The rescues are all outside free range forage. Little Miss and Mini still have wet feather, but it is getting better.

We have dog coats for the Turkeys that are bald, on cool days, and I sewed bandanas together for capes on hot days, so they don't get sunburn.

Everyone is now eating feed and foraging. They get fresh water all over and we put electrolytes out in front and back. We have discovered that they all really really like jello. We use unflavored gelatin with no sugar and instead of water we use juice and applesauce with fresh fruit or veggies. It doesn't hard set it turns into a jelly that 129 birds come running for.

The Roosters that got dropped off have found their own spot on top of the tool shed. So far I haven't had to make Rooster and dumplings.

I'm very concerned with hunting seasons under way. We have been taking care of some wild turkeys on our property as well. They have come up to me several times when I am outside. I have no hunting signs up all over, but ginseng season opened.this week and we have had to chase several people off.
