Probably my favorite of the lot. Peggy, she had a stumpy lower leg cause we found her caught in a possum trap (we had one killing chickens) and we pulled her out and cut off her foot and some of her lower leg cause it was beyond saving. While taking care of her during her healing she grew use to me cause I fed her every day and once she got back walking and hobbling around she would follow me and spend time with me if I sat down. Sadly we lost her in the middle of a night to something and we don't know what it was. Even though she was a wild turkey who decided it was better to just chill around the house instead of going back in the woods I did like her company. She didn't have a temper, didn't make any noise at all, and was a really beautiful bird. Strange enough she was very clean. I don't know much on turkeys but she was rarely dirt or had bugs in her feathers.
We used to raise chickens and once in a while some took a liking to me more then my mom or step dad. This was one who would always get up on a old cloths line pole we had just sticking out of the edge of the backyard. It was kinda pretty how he'd strut about trying to show he was tough stuff on it. Often times though the bigger chickens would jump up and push him down so he was never king of the hill for long.
More swamp photos!
Photo from a family friend's cabin. Used to like it there, it was on the water to where we could step on the porch and fish and the pier was connected to the porch with a nice boat ramp at the end. I really miss it.
Might upload more later on. At the moment that's all I've found
