These are the baby chicks

This is the baby Turken. His neck and chest have no feathers, like a Turkey. This breed is also known as the Transylvanian naked neck.

UPDATE!!!

We have began construction on the house. The horse fence has started going up, along with a small tool shed. We have changed the design to a European design. We have also ordered new baby chicks. They are fancy breeds, including Phoenix, Polish, and Turkens. We hope to get geese and turkeys next year, and maybe a peacock or two. I was offered a job in town today at a local store and have to go back in later today to do final interview. The chickens are not the only addition to our farm. Michael is expecting a little baby boy in August. It was truly unexpected but a blessing and a miracle just the same. My two boys that live in Ohio are supposed to visit this summer so I am looking forward to showing them all the interesting things to do here. Horses are back in the valley, the free range cattle scared them off for a while. We have had a few visitors at the farm and hope to have more as the weather gets warmer. We had an unseasonable snow storm Monday morning, it dropped about four to five inches. I was so happy to see the ground brown, but I don't think the snow wont last, it has been warm the last couple of days. As soon as I get a laptop, will include more photos and posts. We just haven't gotten around to it yet.
