GREAT NEWS!! MOMMY AND BABY TURKEY ARE RE-UNITED




WOO HOO!!!! After dinner we went outside to find Mommy Turkey had returned for her baby and they are back together again. YEAH!!!

The turkey rescue continued ...

So I go to the stamp store today and when I came back, I see Charlie using the tractor to try and rescue the babies. As you can see in the photo, that cement lid was very heavy but he managed to pull it off and he was able to save 1 baby. The other 3 had drowned. The mommy turkey has left and we are hoping she comes back soon. Right now we have the baby in a cage hoping the mom will come back and then we can release it to her. This has been an all day job!! HA HA

Hummingbird rescued ....



Last night as the sun was going down, we heard this chirping noise in the garage. We noticed a hummingbird was stuck in the garage. We have had so many hummingbirds this year already and this is seems to be a daily occurance. They fly into the garage and cannot figure out how to fly out.We take down our hummingbird feeder and hang it off one of the garage doors then they see that, fly down to it and fly out. Well this one must've gotten too tired as he was just laying on the ground flopping all around. Of course, I ran in and got my camera to take photos. Charlie picked him up and nursed him back to health. After the turkeys being stuck and the hummingbird being stuck, Charlie's comment for the day was "Farm life is not for me!" I just laughed out loud. So here are 2 photos of the ruby throated hummingbird we rescued.

We have 3 different families of turkeys with babies hanging around now ...

I found this mommy turkey and one baby with her today and I could hear a bunch of noise coming from the drain thing (not sure the proper name of it) . The babies had fallen down there and they can't get back up. Poor things! We tried to get them up and we didn't have much luck. This goes underneath our driveway so hopefully they can find their way out but so far, they just keep chirping away. Its about 6 feet deep under there. Then we rode around the yard and noticed 2 more families so altogether we have 3 families with babies.
