Flea Market Chickens

     Every year a town near us has a two day flea market.  It's usually more about visiting than shopping. This year while we were there we found some people selling "laying hens" that were a few weeks old, almost the exact age of our chicks. We didn't order any hens with ours, only males for butchering. Corey called his mom and we decided to get a couple. We got a small dark grey one with really pretty feathers and a white turken. There was no guarantee that these are hens, the seller was just going by the size of their combs. We'll see, I guess. 

     We now have three turkens. They are just so ugly I can't help but love them. I have visions of keeping one of the roosters and breeding our own next year, except that I don't think anyone wants a rooster.
     Introducing them to the flock went just fine.
