We are proud to announce the arrival of a baby turkey for our mama
turkey! After a failed attempt to hatch out a borrowed egg from the
chickens, I decided we needed to go the adoption route. So, off to Guys
Farm and Yard I went to see if they had any unclaimed/orphaned baby
turkeys from their recent 'chick days'. Sure enough there was a little
bronze turkey baby, needing a home. So I laid down my $6.25, boxed up
the baby and brought it home to our patient brooding mama. All I had to
do is put the little chick in front of mama, and off the chick went, under
the wing Mama loving lifted at the sight of it. Since then the two have
been a happy little pair. She took to mothering right away, and the
little chick has been peeping contentedly ever since.
