Oh my gosh, that last picture is cute and hysterical at the same time! Such a cute grandson! The dog looks like he even has his own sippy cup! ...man, what's in the sippy cups, I want some, they look really relaxed!
Hey pidgey104,
I recently ordered 18 Turkens from Soggy Bottom Farm and ALL 18 are developing nicely. Hatch day is 5/13. It's been very hard for me to not order more. Many kudos to Soggy Bottom Farm!!!

I've never been to one before. I never thought about sick animals. I guess that is something to watch out for. I just thought it would be fun to go see what there was.
I live in Bryson City and have been to the Cagle's Livestock Auction in Waynesville several times. What you will...
