Not long after Jeff and I started dating we talked about what we wanted in a home. Very quickly we realized that we both wanted to live off of the land, be as self sufficient as we can. And also in that be able to allow the Lord to use it as a ministry to those around us. We both desired to have a small farm if possible.
I never imagined it would happen this fast. Not to mention before we are even in our own home. Yet the Lord keeps giving us opportunities to grow our little farm.
So first an update on our little chicks.
Our chicks are growing so much. The cute little fluff balls have now grown into awkward chicks. They are not so cute anymore and they aren't as nice to look at as full sized chickens. (all of us go through those years...) But we are enjoying them so much. We have moved them out of our house into a small chicken coop in the carport. Ready to be transported when we move!
You would think we would be missing the chirps of the chicks but we are not. We have added 3 new little birds to our flock.
TURKEYS!
Our sweet turkeys are slowly wiggling their way into our hearts. They love to be held and enjoy being stuffed into your sweatshirt pocket and carted around everywhere.
I will be sad this fall when we harvest them, yet I know that this is the reason we have them.
Meet Stuffy (aka Stuffing),
Jibs (Giblets)
and Lark.
Which turkey is ours? :) They are pretty darn cute looking right now... though they kinda remind of of that one dinosaur on Land Before Time, was her name Ducky?
