An amazing abundance of blessings popped up on our lawn yesterday afternoon. Our wild turkey friend who had stopped by on Saturday had returned, but not alone. She felt our yard was a safe place to bring her new flock of seven adorable little chicks.
I did a little research. The chicks are called Poults and are born in a ground nest with their siblings. A mother may lay 8-15 eggs. Baby turkeys can walk and run within hours after birth, and by the size of these little ones they were probably just a few days old. An egg tooth helps the turkeys break free from their egg. They recognize each other by the sounds of their voices.
Love and peace,
Rae Karen
