Little Johnny

Using our little incubator,we have hatched Ducks, Geese, Chickens, Guinea Fowl, and Bobwhite quail, now we can add a Royal Palm Turkey to that list. Sunday we had our first Turkey hatch out and Jeanne affectionately named him Johnny.

Hope, our female turkey started laying eggs early this Spring, and she really didn't care were she dropped them. I started finding eggs in the yard, in the driveway and in a small shed. Once I realized they were turkey eggs I started placing them in the incubator, and now we have little Johnny.
Jordan informed me the next one to hatch will be named Frank, and Tommy wants to name one Thomas.


Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. I wonder if they should add turkeys to that list.

We are lucky that Tammy our mail courier has a sense of humor. Bob, our male turkey has a thing for the mail truck, and one of these days, he and his rowdy friends are going to get me charged with harassment of a federal employee
