Hammy. I love her. Not sure what we are doing with her sister but we are keeping her to breed. She's a runt so she may have smaller litters but that's OK.
NH Homesteader- turkeys!

This morning my husband was listening to the radio. They were doing a segment called "and that's why I'm a redneck". He looks up to see me, in shorts and mud boots, filling the turkey water and telling them not to worry, I'll go get more for you in a minute. He just shook his head...

It's been a rough year here. We've lost a ton of meat birds, the drought made my garden pathetic... Our first real attempt at breeding heritage turkeys yielded 1 chick, who is about to be processed early because he (I think it's a he) can't really walk. So we are also processing our tom and will be getting a new one for spring. My buckling had worm issues and struggled to gain weight because of that. So I've been feeling kind of cruddy.
But... I have 3 lovely does to breed this year. My buckling looks much better now. Losing these meat birds has given me a push to do what I wanted to do anyway, and do away with the freaks of nature. I'm looking into a few sheep for spring. I'm ppre-ordering the breed of real chickens that I want next month. And we have a pig going in the freezer, hopefully next week.
It all happens for a reason, whatever it is!

Well, each yr presents its own Challenges...and instead of being frustrated ya just have to 'Roll with the Flow'....sometimes the 'Way' we plan to Go either 'Fizzles' or is so difficult that a 'New Direction' will 'Open Up' for ya...we all have niches that are within us, but stay 'Hidden' until we are forced to 'Uncover' them....and the Important thing is to Enjoy the Work ya do....so, it sounds like ya have done just that...and just keep that attitude and it will all work out for y'all....I don't truly know ya, but ya have my Confidence that y'all will make it all work out!!....but, a new yr will bring New challenges....but, that is how we Grow as individuals....and couples.
