A Death in the Farm Family

This past week, one of our turkey hens died after a brief illness.  There aren't any vets in town that take turkeys for patients, so we were helpless to provide appropriate treatment.  We're very sad.  She was such a curious and friendly creature and provided hours of company and entertainment.  She leaves her sister, who I know will miss her.  Turkeys are flock animals and are always happiest hanging around with fellow turkeys, or chickens or people if that's whose around.  It remains to be seen if we find a replacement turkey.
