Well,,, turkeys are gone... DS sent the pics to the guy... he said he wanted them... they made arrangements with DS, this morning.... to come this morning... they came, we haggled a little over the price... the hens were alot smaller... got cash in hand, they loaded them... and are gone!!!!! So next year (only a couple months away) I will hopefully raise a bunch more... and they wanted to know if I had anything else to sell... looked at the chickens, and I said no, that they were all for breeding to get eggs to hatch... so going to raise up a bunch of the NH's as the cull roosters will be good to sell them too.... and they wanted more turkeys.

They bought DS's rams that had broken horns so a good source to sell to for the ones he can't sell to the guy for the hunting preserve...really liked the turkeys... and since I like raising them... a good deal all around... Less on the feed bill, hopefully next year I will have the fields here fenced... and can raise a bunch... and not have them get on the road or attacked by mangy foxes or dogs or anything.... I am getting psyched for it now...
The NH's are so nice and quiet... and now I can actually give the Langshan bantams their own pen so there are no roosters wanting to bother them... they seem to be getting along so for now they can stay together for the ease of feeding and watering... but I intend to get some NH bantams too... like little cornish game hen sized....
AND I have that line on the VorWerks that the guy lives an hour or so south of here... get eggs to hatch... love the red/black contrasting color... kind of similar to the NH colors.... like that red/black contrasting....
The buff leghorns are going to have a short life here I think...

DS said he wants to get the cows across the driveway with the calves to work them in an hour or 2... move them to grants field behind me... get with the bull... and I have to get the 5 pairs in at snyder's.... would be nice to get everyone moved around.... and settled in, in the next few days...

@drstratton ... I can't even figure out where the 4x4 knob/control is... they have a knob with 4 pictures and none make a lick of sense to me... GOD forbid they use words for us normal people... got to use pictures for those that can't read things....
My NORMAL 4x4 trucks have a simple lever... 4H 2H N 4L... yes, have to go in neutral to go into 4L...
This explorer is just a .......#@%&

I don't know why they have to make things so complicated.

I like my bantams, too. The OEGB are still a little flighty but one has started laying, so that's a win for me.

I hate to tell you Easterners this, but its been chilly here. It almost got down to 49 this morning. We sleep with the bedroom window open about 3".

SHHHHH !!! we should be laying low with our weather and just commiserating.
