Saving...
is a bad place for hens to hide their nests we have only two Ducks I am saving them for Thanksgiving Eph dont want me to raise them he says they eat so much and are such dirty things and Turkeys are so hard to raise I don't think I will ever try it again I would like to have some I like to see them around and a turkey is nice to eat a good fat one in the winter about Christmas or any other time. Mrs. Palmer tried to raise some and lost them all she had seven I think. Mr. Palmer got all right again they are good folks and we like them for neighbors but Sam Semings dont mention them they are regular botherations they are always wanting somthing
