Here they are in our paddock of winter wheat feasting on bugs.
No bird goes un-hugged around here. Do you think we could market "hugged daily" poultry? Sounds just as good as "cage free" to me.
We call it a project because there are lots of things going on here. We are a family of four living semi-rurally in our owner-built off-grid straw bale home, attachment parenting, homeschooling, farming and homesteading with two other family members on 10 acres. Our goals are self-sufficiency and sustainability as we prepare for the future while living joyfully in the present.

Loving the poultry
This year we have added turkeys, geese, and ducks to our poultry lineup and the kids are just loving it. OK, actually we all are. The turkeys are a real treat--they follow us around the pasture like a pack of puppies. They are penned in at night but during the day they have free range so they run around eating their fill of grasshoppers and greens. I love the little "chuff chuff" noise they make.

There is a line about "constantly hugged goats" that has been running through my head at odd times.

i like that "hugged daily". we might try turkeys next year.
You can tell these two kids love their animals, poultry and farm . . . just like their mom did at their ages, only you didn't have the farm yet. I hope their dreams come true like yours did.
Love,
Nino
