The Littles officially have the run of the farm now and met Guss on their explorations today. Guss' expression in the last pic crack me up! . . #llama #guardiananimal #guss #turkey #broadbreasted #boulder #boulderco #bouldercounty #lafayatte #lafayetteco #lafayattecolorado #louisville #louisvilleco #louisvillecolorado #longmont #longmontco #longmontcolorado #bigashfarm #bigashfarmcolorado #farm #farmlife #erie #erieco #eriecolorado #broomfield #broomfieldco #broomfieldcolorado  https://www.instagram.com/p/CPPa6SwHvn1/?utm_medium=tumblr

Settling in for the evening 😊 the broadbreasted turkey babes are still svelt enough to be able to get up on the roosts. One thing I do not like about the broadbreasted butterball variety of turkeys is that they get so big so fast that they lose their ability to hop up and down off the roosts due to size. I usually stick to beritage breeds only but it was hard to pass these guys up as they were a stellar deal! . . #broadbreasted #turkey #roosting #boulder #boulderco #bouldercounty #lafayatte #lafayetteco #lafayattecolorado #louisville #louisvilleco #louisvillecolorado #longmont #longmontco #longmontcolorado #bigashfarm #bigashfarmcolorado #farm #farmlife #erie #erieco #eriecolorado #broomfield #broomfieldco #broomfieldcolorado https://www.instagram.com/p/CChu4f2ASW0/?igshid=11b7w975xazmy

Well this little one is sure lucky today! Found him in the duck pond with his head right on the surface and quickly pulled him out! I grabbed a towel and dried him off as best I could and put him under the heat lamps in the turkey coop (I never take them out - never know when a sick animal will need an urgent warm up) i noticed one of his flockmates wandering about was also wet... thinking they both must have gone in but the other one used this guy as a step stool to get out! I think he's going to be a-ok as he had moved away from the heat lamp and was eating when I tucked everyone in for the night. . . #timeforaswim #turkey #baby #broadbreasted #boulder #boulderco #bouldercolorado #colorado #frontrange #lafayette #lafayetteco #lafayettecolorado #louisville #louisvilleco #louisvillecolorado #erie #eriecolorado #longmont #longmontcolorado #longmontco #bigashfarmcolorado #bigashfarm #bigashfarmco #farm #farmlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CBj-bSbAN79/?igshid=1l7dpjb2l0y56

The broad breasted turkey babies I took home from the feed store for pennies (they needed them gone) are growing like weeds! (No surprise there eh?) They're definitely not as agile as their heritage breed brothers and sisters but they still like to roost come evening time - just a wee bit lower to the ground 😁😉 . . #turkey #broadbreasted #boulder #boulderco #bouldercolorado #colorado #frontrange #lafayette #lafayetteco #lafayettecolorado #louisville #louisvilleco #louisvillecolorado #erie #eriecolorado #longmont #longmontcolorado #longmontco #bigashfarmcolorado #bigashfarm #bigashfarmco #farm #farmlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CAO_3pEAi-e/?igshid=v2wudzium0y9
