OK we may be a bit crazy... but

Since we're staying home this summer we figured why not, we'll get a turkey. What could possibly go wrong?

We were picking up our order of Araucana chickens to add to our flock anyway and what's one more bird, really?

We'll see how it goes, but our plan for now is to have him join us for Thanksgiving dinner.

He does already stand head and shoulders above the rest, doesn't he?  Can you pick him out of this line up?

We're really looking forward to the eggs that our new Araucanas will be giving us.  This is the breed that lays Easter eggs! (Photo borrowed from http://www.weis-family.org)
