Jun. 3, 2008 - You Turkeys!
Posted in Skool

Man, these guys are growing!
In just 4 weeks they've gone from this:

To this:

They stay outside during the day now.
Soon they'll be staying out all night.
Sheltered, of course.

It's been over a year now since we last had turkey poults.
And I had forgotten just how rapidly they grow.

Sorry Guy, they've been named!

The smallest one is "Colonel Mustard" (as in do you have a Clue what kind of messes a poult makes?) 
and the other is "Hardy" (as in Thomas, Tom for short)....

I would have thought you'd name him "Oliver," as in "Oliver Hardy," as he will surely grow to make you a hearty meal one day!

I asked my husband about raising chickens, but he said no way. Probably because we'd name them, become attached, and not be able to eat them. I like the names you chose though and I bet they'll make good eatin'.

I was going to make some vague attempt at a joke about eating them, but then I actually looked at the pics. SOOOO cute!

Awww...a turkey named after one of my favorite poets! And I just told my eldest daughter yesterday she shouldn't name her Webkinz pig Elizabeth as that might offend her cousin. At least Hardy can't take offense! :-) The turkeys are still pretty cute!

Wow! They do grow fast. Birds are pretty amazing that way. Are they friendly? Will they be pets or....umm....dinner?
