You must be really good. To know that it is a he before it even hatches.
Thanks for doing this.

Just wondered about putting an e-mail box on there.

I know we could look them up on BYC but it would be nice to see it on the map also, could be optional.

Good idea. Added.

Mine are on artificial lighting. It's dim, so I leave it on 24/7. They go to bed at dusk and fall asleep, but at 3am, sometimes I hear the roosters making a racket in there, if the BF has the window open.

One of my turkey girls was being a complete IDIOT! I have never had problems with anybody going out into the road, except one cornish cross when I wasn't thinking. I ran to the other side of the road to grab some garbage (I like to keep our section of the road clean) and the cornish cross followed me right into the road. Thankfully, the person coming slammed on the breaks (I was waiting to cross back across the road, I hadn't jumped out in front of him or anything) and the people coming from the other direction stopped as well, so I could collect my crazy chicken and cross the road safely. ANYWAYS, I was up in my soap room and the kids came in, I heard the boys gobbling away, so told the boys to check out the window. Here, one of my hens was standing in the road! I ran down the stairs and straight out the door and scooped her up. Everyone, by now (if they haven't already figured it out) surely knows I'm nuts. Cold, running out there full speed, barefoot and in a t-shirt, no coat, to grab my baby girl. Ugh. Some days, I wonder what the heck the birds are thinking! Not only could she have gotten herself killed, but she's a good 30lb butterball and could've damaged a vehicle as well as possibly causing an accident if someone swerved. :/ Thankfully, we're moving soon and will be fencing the yard in for boys and birds.

Oh my goodness! what a goof ball! Glad she is okay, silly thing.

smooth dilute grey splash, although he does have some super dark feathers still.

Is the lilac gander curly or smooth, I cannot remember.
