So my bad broody momma refuses to stop her brooding. I had the eggs I stole from her sitting in my incubator and the ones that were still alive and not rotten I put a big ole X on and threw under her so I know those are the old ones to just let her have for a few weeks. I am pilfering away her other new eggs she’s stealing from the other hens to brood.. I have people wanting eggs and I’m going to start up my incubator with a small batch of freshly laid 2-5 day old eggs to see how they compare on success rates.

Still broody.....boy they can be determined!

Where is everybody? Daisy has been acting like a pidgeon lately. She seems to be flying a lot. Short bursts of flight. Not really sure why. I'll go outside & she'll fly up from the back of the yard. Let her out of her pen & she flys out into the yard. Take her for a walk & she'll launch across the yard. No trick flying...just low bursts of flights. Annie never flys....but she sure can run like a gazelle. Daisy has always liked to fly....but lately she seems to go airborne at every chance. And you can tell she loves it.

Great reference article! Thanks R2elk! However, I didn't see anything in there about Daisy's desire to be a pidgeon.

Anyone here use copper sulfate in their drinking water on a periodic basis as a dewormer of sorts?

Molpet may be right!! We have several "animal behavioralists" in town ... can you just see showing up with a turkey hen? LOL!!

Or better yet....those that claim they can "talk" to animals.

Stopped at a local department store today to pick up a new lipstick. (The extent of my preparations for my nephews wedding this weekend.) I knew what I wanted, gal at the makeup counter was ringing me up. She kept staring at me. Little odd. All of a sudden she blurts out "are you the girl with the turkeys"??? Seems her boyfriend lives around the corner from me & they have seen us on our walks. Undoubtedly one of the oddest conversations ever conducted at the Bobby Brown makeup counter ensued. I should have bought the girls some nail polish!

Polarberry I use copper sulfate as a water additive for worm prevention.
