In April a flock of wild turkeys wandered through the yard, out to the hayfield and then to the pasture and towards the river.
Also in April a goose had eggs on a small island in the river. Several other times I had seen a lone goose wandering around the middle and south pastures.
When kicking some clumps of old hay that the cattle didn't eat out in the pasture I found this very large egg under a clump of hay. Donna has turkeys and she said this egg is larger than a turkey egg.
Later, when digging up and cleaning the manure and hay mix in the corral I uncovered another egg. While a large egg, it was much smaller than the previous egg I had found under the clump of hay. I was surprised the second egg was in one piece under the hay and manure muck in the corral. I left the second egg sit in the back yard and a few days later it was gone. Most likely a magpie took it.
