Farm Fresh: Turkey Poults Arrive

Another rush to the Post Office this week! We picked up our order of turkey poults on Thursday.  While we were getting the brooder ready the power went out for no apparent reason. We left the poults in the warm car while we waited for it to turn on. 
 Luckily it came back on after only a couple of hours.
  Not all of these 27 turkeys are ours. The 15 Bourbon Reds belong to one friend and 5 of the Narragansetts to another.  That left us with 7... except we already lost one.
Baby L snuck out of her bed on Friday night and played with them. She brought one upstairs to me and said "Turkey sleeping. He is sleeping Mommy."  His neck was broken. I cried.  Poor turkey.  at least the others were all fine.
