I've caught the Avian Flu (No, no not the real thing!). I've decided to get some chickens for our home...I'm just nervous about having not just one furry friend, but a whole flock of fickle feathered fiends. all the kids want birds, they just love auntie Tara's. I'll admit I've taken a wait and see approach for a while and I'm impressed with the work Tara's done.
anyway, i went to the feed barn the other day and looked at what I thought were large striped chickens. i was informed that they were turkeys. I was amazed at how much bigger the baby turkeys are that the chickens. i played with them for a little while and watched some of them just fall asleep in mid step and fall on their beaks.
I just couldn't buy any at the time or I think I'd have went home with a few of them. thank goodness i didn't because when i got home, i realized I'm just not ready for any more kids, nor am i ready to add on a room to the house (AKA make a chicken coop).
