“There are wild turkeys out the front of your house,” said the FedEx man, his excitement palpable as he handed over my new crepe pan that Hugo later deemed Too Small. 
“Not wild” I said. “And that is why I have No Shooting signs up”. “Beautiful.” he said as he threw sticks for the dogs. No delivery man is safe around these dogs. Throwing the stick is mandatory before they are released.
Later Hugo and I were standing watching the the two wee Hereford gilts play in the barn (every time I let them out they get into a terrible fight with Sheila and Poppy, so we are staying on the safe side of the gate for the meantime. ) 
They have quite a large space to romp about in. ” If I had an apartment this big I would be a happy man.” Hugo said.
The pigs did not feel bad. (Behind the pig above is where I stood to take the first shot – hence the different light. )
I have decided to let the turkey girls run for the winter and if all goes well I will try to find a mature Male Turkey at the bantam swap in the spring. It probably won’t be a Spanish Black but I need a Tom of their own size. And it gives me an excuse to squeeze a few cages into the car before we go . Just in case. So we will see what happens.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Take care
Love celi

I’m not sure you can be trusted alone at the spring swap!😛
Wouldn’t it be fun to go with Celi and get all kinds of wonderful animals to bring back to the farmy? The only thing is the Our John might not be so happy about what we chose! 🙂
Those two piggies are hilarious. Hard to believe they are the same piggies that pick fights with Poppy and Sheila.
It is the other way round – Sheila and Poppy attack them, in fact the littlies were bleeding after the last attempt.
I agree with Hugo… about the apartment… I have no idea about crepe pan sizes. I was just reminiscing via a blog post about hotel rooms vs hotel room size apartments. Those piggies have got it good 🙂
Yes – about three times the size of the last hotel room i stayed in .. I like hotels though.. c
I like hotel rooms too… sigh!
That’s bigger than a chambre de bonne à Paris. I lived in one on the 7th floor (no lift) with the most amazing view of la Tour Eiffel – I was lucky in that the person who lent it to me had bought 3 of them and knocked them together. In the old days, they were servants quarters and quite tiny 😉
I can’t believe Poppy doesn’t recognize her own offspring and has only ill will towards them now. I thought pigs were supposed to be smart! 🙂 Oh, I have to go back and find Hugo’s crepe recipe…I have a lovely cast iron skillet to make them in!
Pigs are after all – Pigs and very territorial.. I will wait until the girls are a bit bigger.. c
Crepes a la Hugo were described September 19, along with recipe (I too wanted to go back and find it…. lol)
What a lovely place to romp and play! The gilts look very happy in their protected space. I would have thought crepe pans to be a standard size. All this talk of crepes is making me hungry!
Lovely images .. The pigs look like the are smiling. 😄
I love that last image of the pigs… they look quite happy.
What a collection of pictures. I loved all the animals in it
