Ricky the turkey

One year we decided to get a few turkeys.  We got a pair of bronze’s and a pair of whites.  The kids named them Ricky and Lucy and Fred and Ethyl 🙂  This is a picture of Ricky in full protection mode.

Ricky was fun to watch when someone came into the yard.  It was like he was a Transformer.  His back feathers would poof, his tail come up, his wings go down towards the ground.  To top it all off his head would turn blue!  He would attack if a stranger came near him, so we called him our guard turkey :LOL

Ricky never made it to the dinner table.  I doubt we ever could have killed any of the turkeys after naming them.
