Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Hey everyone! It's been a minute, can't remember if I updated y'all on the turkeys so, had nine hatch (four in the Bator, five out of six under the hen) lost two about a day or so after hatching but the rest are doing awesome, momma is doing her best to cover her 7 poults (nearly half her size now) and 8 chicks. They're just about 3 weeks old and quite the flyers.


Also, if there are any silkie "experts" out there, I bought a few yesterday :rolleyes::rolleyes: I should not be left unsupervised with money at auctions 😂 😅
Anyway I originally was thinking they were pullets but I'm second guessing myself since I really have no clue about silkies. I know three are satin and one is a frizzle (roo or not that one gets to stay, lol)
