The new arrivals

Yesterday, my husband called me and said - there are two turkeys at Portal Way for us....

I was surprise - crazy surprised!!  We have been wanting to raise our own turkeys for years - the first year the order never came (turkey shortage - who would have thought!).  The second year we thought about it and thought about it and never placed our order. 

The third try - "surprise your order is in!"  My wonderful husband placed an order and never told me, probably because I was so disappointed the first time around. 

Today he got the "nursery" together.  Lamp up - check. Fresh wood shavings - check. New watering bucket and feeder (yippee! since our chickens have destroyed the others).  Feed - check.  Baby Turkeys - check!

And here are our new arrivals to the Ranch!
Maybe a male??  OH what fun this is!!!
The nursery - nice and toasty. 
Let the new adventure begin!
