Farmyard photos.

Tivon has a guard Turkey and has called him Argus. I say guard turkey because he seems to know who is in the family and performs fantastic feather displays and a blue face for visitors! We have a bit to learn about turkey behavior! Turkey was never on my wish list of homestead essentials but he is a real character.

Argus like to perch on the byre in the evening.

We only had one chick this year! The magpie was stealing the eggs from the broody hens and we didn't realize! I was SO happy to have one chick though!

  The hens are so full of personality. 

Zoe took this photo of our Cockerel.

Well, we had to start somewhere!

Shadow and Spring are looking for dinner!
