Ten cute little poults, just days old. We were told we were a few weeks behind "normal" people who want them ready for Thanksgiving.
Typical. We normally come into a race in last place but claw and scratch our way to the finish line. Never first, but we finish.
Not this time.
These poults enjoyed their first few days in our "starter" room where they have 24-hour food available and few visitors (we try to keep them a secret until they are bigger...stronger).
Once again the babies....
....are smarter than they look!
Side note--yes, that's a lighter.
Safety first on our farm!!
These rascals found the poults, played with them & left the door open when they left to find the next bit of mischief.
Enter cats...
They got in and killed them ALL!!!
Short life. Three days.
I assembled the kids and showed them the carnage. I also announced that because of the carelessness of the babies leaving the door open and because the carelessness of the big kids not supervising the babies, we would be having TACOS FOR THANKSGIVING!!!
Dumb cats.
Dumb babies.
Good thing we made a lot salsa.
