dinahmoe you are welcome!

Love the drawing! How did you get Wisher trussed up like that!

If you haven't already, just send a quick PM to Chookschick so she can add you to the list when she is not as busy. You are considered part of our "asylum" so you can enter the poultry yoga contest that Wisher is running this week. Look back in the posts to get the details.

LUCKY! I have one Iowa a couple months old and that whole pen will come sit on my arm! NOT THAT SUCKER! she will bite scratch and try to scream the coop down IF you catch her!

As chicks they are crazy wild, but my older girls have settled down quite a bit. They won't necessarily jump in my lap, but they will eat out of my hand. Nothing like the Icelandics though, who want to sit on my shoulder and hold the hair out of my eyes while I do chores.

Ok, I have to confess that this is my first time hatching turkeys, and I'm researching late (I know, get the ruler).

I am finding conflicting information on resources regarding temp. Some say the same range as chickens, some say a full 5 degrees higher. I fall upon your mercy, sage turkey hatching BYCers!

Hey, remember me? <* looking around*>

Counting today, I have 8 "fun-filled" days of work left before I retire.

I can't get ANYthing done at home. Barely able to fill feeders and waterers. However, the days have finally turned the corner and I leave at dawn, not before, and get back home before dark, now.

My special order Cayuga baby girls arrived yesterday and are in their brooder next to the Easter Hatch chicks in THEiR brooder. In my office/guest room/Nursery/Incubation room. The 5 WCB Polish chicks went outside into into their segregation coop & pen; however, the smallest one didn't survive the first night, for some reason. Very sad.

The fella who spread the gravel in my driveway called them "The Phyllis Dillers," and the grow out coop "The Diller Residence."

Could we speed up time a little bit to scrunch the next 7 weekdays into two nights? (I don't want to miss out on my upcoming 3-day weekend.)
