Surprise!

We had considered this year something of a wash as far as our turkeys go.  Trigger, despite his best attempts, could never seem to win Nutsy's affections.  She seemed far more interested in following Adam around the farm.  When Trigger disappeared awhile ago, she didn't seem very disappointed.  He, on the other hand, was seen in another farmer's field with some of his wild brethren, looking pretty pleased with himself. 

So after Trigger's disappearance and after stalking Adam lost it's appeal, she started disappearing into the orchard.  We had joked that she had given up on the pretty boy, Trigger, and had found herself a wilder boy.  You know, the type with a motorcycle who hangs out with the bad crowd?  She had been nesting behind the barn, but that nest was abandoned and for the past few weeks she's been pretty elusive.

Today, Adam spotted her in the orchard.  With company.

Apparently, she definately found a mate more to her liking, because she has 15 little ones!  Adam's guessing that they're between three and five days old.
