Our journal of what we pray is our sojourn of life along the narrow way, even the old paths, submitting to the Bible as a light unto both.

Trina the Turkey Gets Her New Beau Hank

After Trina the Spanish black heritage turkey showed up at our homestead one day, we were hoping to obtain a mate for her, to perhaps breed, but so also she wasn’t alone.

Well, it just so happened that Heritage Road Farm , which is fairly close in our region, breeds heritage turkeys! So, we contacted them, and they graciously met us in Brownwood with this tom turkey, which because Ankara is the capital of Turkey, we decided to call Hank!

Hank the Heritage Tom Turkey

And here is a video of the big meet between them!


After this, Hank spent at least a couple of weeks following her around flared up like that, but has settled in a little more now, but still follows her around. 🙂

We’re thankful to be able to have Hank here for Trina, and we pray they are beneficial to the homestead and the community!

BarnBNB – Trina the Turkey

One day, what we thought was probably a wild turkey just showed up around the homestead. It just started hanging out like it had always been here…moved into the barn at night, and ended up staying around. We didn’t really know what to make of it.

Well, after some research, we believe it’s a she, and that she is a Black Turkey — a heritage breed, which makes sense because of its friendliness. Where it came from we don’t know, but unless we discover an owner, we’ve decided to keep her, as there is a person in the general area that has what we think are the same breed, and so we’re planning on looking into seeing if we can get her a mate!

And, we decided to call her Trina…Trina the Turkey. 🙂

Here is a video of our story thus far with her, from introduction day to various times of her interaction with the homestead!


We’re thankful for the new visitor, and we pray the Lord direct us as to what He would have for us with her, if anything.
