Another bride... another groom...




A face only a turkey could love...


Awkward beginnings.


The Turkeys get their groove back.

Ok, I'm not sure turkeys even have a groove, or even what that means, but our two young Royal Palm hens have been joined by a fine strapping young tom. After an awkward bit at the introduction, everyone started to warm up over the cracked corn bar. Pretty soon everyone was talking amiably in the corner and seemed to strike up some genuine friendships. This seems to be working out fairly well at this point, so maybe we can chalk up a 'success' for internet dating as our ladies found their prospective mate on craigslist. He came from the frozen north but has a bit of hot Spanish blood that's sure to inspire many steamy evenings in the turkey coop. Hopefully, we will be blessed by the sound of little feet scampering about the run by spring.
