I have twelve 4 month old BBB turkeys and three almost 3 month old BR turkeys. This is my first year with turkeys and they have been great...until today. Everyone was fine when I locked them up for the night, but this morning when I went out to feed them I noticed one of the BR babies had a leg turned funny. I took her out and looked at it and it looked fine when I was holding her and she ran like crazy when I put her down, like it didn't even hurt, she just had a limp. I tried putting a splint on it but she refused to stand up. I put some vet wrap on it and she still wouldn't stand. When she's standing still she will look like she's straightening it and the other leg is just fine. What should I do?

We got a lot of rain today, that may help stay the cost a bit if a second cutting looks promising

Really?....REALLY!?  I wonder if you're the only person they are harassing like this?

And my taxes, $2000 a year and I paid $14,500 for my house last March!!!!!!!  Fire everyone and let us be!

 

Rant over

3) Firewood needs to be 18 inches off the ground;

4) Porch needs to be rebuilt because it is missing several bricks.  Bricks that the neighbors took and did not pay for. Bricks that caused me to file a law suit against them for theft.

 

Then the other neighbor came out to itch and got upset because I pointed out the violations in his yard. 

Funny thing is that nothing was mentioned about chickens.

 

It's going to be a long hot summer here folks.  Stay tuned to  the comedy antics here in Garden City.

"Garden" "City", is that an oxymoron?

 

The upside is that I didn't get another ticket, but I have until next Friday to comply or face the consequences.

 

Power-washing might be a problem since there is a water ban in effect for the entire city.  How does one wash a garage and not use water?  Am I being obtuse here?

Whew, what a week.  Between work, doctors, vets and power outages, I am looking forward to Sunday so I can just sit and do nothing.  I just now caught up with all of you and I see I've missed a lot.  So hello to newbies, yays for eggs and chicks, sorry for losses and boos for dramas.

 

I have a new squeaky toy today.  When I got home from work, I heard Baby Girl's little chick-y roo making his first spring coil sounding crow.  I thought he was too young, but my youngest reminded me that he is a couple of months old now.  Time is flying right on by while I rush around taking care of everything.
