Thanksgiving Turkeys



Sunday we processed our two turkey "babies". We have butchered chickens before, but it was harder with the two young turkeys... I hatched them in our incubator in April. For a while i thought one of them was a female (hen), but then both turned out to be Toms (male turkeys) and i just don't have enough room for that many turkeys, and I dont think their dad, our big Bourbon Red pet turkey, would like them to hang around forever. I do want to get another female turkey, maybe next spring. Here is one of the last pictures of the two young guys.. they have been very happy i think, getting to hunt bugs in the pasture every day.
