My daughter came home from college and Knothead, our 3 month old poult who usually loves her to pieces when nuts, turning red and doing his little "pew pews" like mad. She sat down and he/she ran to her making this crazy trilling sound and grabbed her hat off her head, threw it behind him and then stomped it to death. Craziest thing we've seen. Obviously he believed the hat was a head sucking alien that had to be dispatched quickly. Here is a picture of the little lifesaver.

I have a quick question for all if you who are so muxh more experienced. Is it possible to have a chicken hatch poults? I have a stubbornly broody dark brahma, sweet as can be, and was thinking if shes so bent on sitting, perhaps i should order eggs. I do not need more chickens tho lol, but have totally fallen under the spell of our poults. Turkey math is even worse than chicken math. I appreciate any advice, just want to make sure its not a horrid idea lol. Thanks!!!!

I've noticed that broodiness seems to be contagious

. I really wish they would keep it to themselves at my place - I don't want anyone hatching anything lol!

Ralph - I was wishing that I had my phone with me for the turkey wrassling, but no such luck

If there is a repeat performance, I'll certainly try to catch it. Must confess that while I was lifting Coco with the broom, I was more focused on keeping my digits unbloodied than recording the experience

ROFLMAO!!!


Turkeys are so amazing!


I am going to throw two out of three turkeys off the nest today. I am going to let them free range for a week or two with the boys before I make them start laying for me again.
