These two Turken chicks were hatched here on the farm on July 4th.
I haven't been able to get good photos of them since, due to either rain, or not being able to catch the little buggers!
They were kind of a surprise. Alan was out feeding the chickens that morning, and they were trotting around the barn yard with their mother.
They're REALLY small... MUCH smaller than usual. Alan wanted to call them Holy and Sh*t (in reference to the surprise), but I said NO SWEARING! Holay & Molay works just fine! But since all the Turkens on the farm are *really* called Manetta, their full names are them Holay Manetta and Molay Manetta... Hahaaa! =)
Alan went out to the barn with me today so I could try and get some photos. We did good! It's Alan who's holding them for me in these photos.
Their little naked necks totally CRACK me UP!!
I've never even heard of a turken, but these sure are funny little ones. Love the names.

Thanks for keeping it G rated both my daughters (age 10 & 3) like to keep up with what's going on at your place- heehee! They are BIG time animal lovers and would have a farm within in the confines of our privacy fence if not for the city ordinance. Thank-you for the family time that you provide for us (I love the cards AND your e-bay store.)

Anna, I just love all the clever names you come up with for your farm animals. How ever do you keep track of them all! Ida

They are tiny. Glad you're keeping your husband on the straight and narrow path! Cute names. My daughter just got a new parakeet and named him Orlando, but my son calls him Bloom.

Anna...I have to say that these little guys are kinda ugly. Okay...so ugly they're cute, right? I love your ongoing narrative about farm creatures! Especially that little Lolly bunny...so so cute! I'm trying to catch up on my blogs and way behind. Anyhoo...love seeing what you've been working on lately. Have you changed your mind about CHA?

Great chicks, though they have the kind of mouth that when they aren't smiling (and the can smile can't they???) they look mad lol.
You hubby has photogenic hands. I know that sounds corny, but I am a noticer of hands so to speak. Size and condition... yes I have issues... lucky for everyone else I don't get out much! hehehe
Thanks for sharing!
