We're losing birds left and right!

Farm-life continues and this weeks theme seems to be poultry.  

Over the weekend we processed the last male turkey.  We think he weighed in between 35-40 pounds!  He was named Big Ken by our guests.  We then cut him in half with a hacksaw so we could fit him into the oven.  I only hope the females are a bit smaller.

This morning was sad as we found one of the Barred Rocks dead in the chicken coop.  It's unclear if she flew into something or simply died of other causes.  We're now down to 13 chickens, which seems like a rather unlucky number.
