A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

[Flashpoint]

You must have a higher class sand dune than I do.....Or it could be I build my breeding pens right over the area the pig pen was for 60 years.....I have no idea how long, other than it predates me.



My 5 young teens committed a capital offense today. They may not be alive tomorrow. Can you guess what the offense was?



























They decided to bully Bert and Bertha. Bertha being my oldest toad and most precious bird will not be picked on by ill mannered turkey poults. The only thing that keep them alive was when I was running to safe her, I got stuck and tripped into the "net" Jr used to show what a salmon in a net looks like. I could not get my shoe free, so I kicked it off and ran to save Bertha.

I Immediately put the gangsters into jail to think about their actions.

I was almost for certain you were going to tell us they had befriended a duck.


I do hope your toads are ok.

I lost Mocha today. I thought something was wrong with him since he just wasn't growing like the others He was my last chocolate.

Ralph-I hope Bert and Bertha are ok

Oh no! Not Bertha & Bert! Rotten kids!

So...as soon as I got into southern Missouri there were signs posted every 5 miles saying "No Parking on Shoulder". Lots of out of town license plates a already floating about town! All kinds of activities planned to entertain the tourists this weekend. Big doings in little Ste. Genevieve! The LSU (Louisianna State University ) "Mobile Astronomy Lab" is already parked at one of the hotels. Right next to the Ole Miss' " Mobile Astronomy Lab". Had no idea there were such mobile astronomy things about. I'll keep ya all posted.

R2elk...sounds like Casper & surrounding areas are under siege too!!

It does sound like it but you can't prove it by me. I only go into town whenever I have to for groceries, etc. I won't be going into town again until this all blows over so I will miss out on all of the activities and people.

Aurora - so sorry to hear about your poult

Just wanted to say hi. I've been really busy with stuff that I'm not enjoying, but catching up on turkey pictures and news here has been a steady bright spot every day. So thank you for all the reading material and pics . My birds are doing great - the boys are almost done molting. Big Bird is still laying, but looking a bit ratty so I imagine that she'll be blowing her feathers shortly (and perhaps looking like Annie lol).

We're only in the 90% eclipse area, so hopefully won't be seeing as many crazy peeps as some of you might

I'm so surprised to hear how much rain everyone is having, we've had so little water this summer.... and Washington state is not exactly known for being a "dry" area....

I think we are in the 80% area in MD. Fortunately, I am in the country and have a big yard. I won't have to worry about the idiots lol.

Aurora, I'm so sorry about your poult. Thats such a bummer.

Feisty!! Great to hear you & the gang are doing well! Weird that your lacking rain out there! We've actually had a good bit of rain. Unusual for us, August is us usually so dry.

Ok R2elk...since your staying on the sand dune during the big event...Id love to know how your turkeys react. Any thoughts?

Aurora so sorry to hear about your poult

Memphis, turns out I'm in the full path... Yesterday I saw a slew of campers heading into my area, so Like R2 I'm going to stay on the farm away from the crazies...

Ralph, Hope the toads are ok. Bad teenagers,... Jail time is warranted.
