After our quick vacation to Missouri, we are back here in Iowa. It was great to see family, but also nice to be back home.
Sunday we decided to go to the farmers swap & sale. There were quite a few people there with lots of things for sale....rabbits, goats, a lamb, chickens, ducks, turkeys, even a couple of llamas and a donkey, also some craft items. After walking around and checking everything out, debating on getting more rabbits, discussing getting a lamb (she was adorable) we decided to get some turkeys. Well, 5 of them. The turkeys are Blue Slate, a heritage breed. They are four weeks old and are pretty cute. They peep quite a bit and are a really pretty blue/grey color with beige heads. It will be fun to see how many boys and girls we have. We wont be able to tell for a while. The lady that we got them from said that she has 2 pairs and gets quite a few eggs and that she has a hen sitting on a nest right now. These might be a great 4H project for Carter, and maybe a little money maker too if we have some extra eggs to hatch come next spring.
