Turkeys Join Our Farm

We purchased three turkeys to help fatten up our Christmas dinner.

Now for the problem: the white one was so pretty we decided we would find her a mate and not eat her for Christmas. Then the black ones started laying eggs.  Now, no one wants to eat them for dinner.  For now, we are collecting the eggs to set a hen and raise chicks.

Back home in the United States, simply picking up a frozen turkey at the supermarket made life much simpler.  You don't get to know them on a first-name basis.  But since we have no supermarket, live birds are our only resource.

It will be interesting to see who survives Christmas dinner.
