A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Or...have Aurora make you a fur saddle & maybe your husband won't notice hes not a dog. I love my turkeys hanging out! They follow me everywhere.

I'm in Missouri. At the coonhound show site. Registration starts at 5. Hunting at 8. Nice weather. Little chilly. Muddy from rain. I'm nervous having never done this before. My coonhound is sleeping. He was all cranked to be with like kind! Happy to see other dogs with big ears! Lots of different coonhounds here. My dog fell in love with a cutie Redbone. She seemed smitten too. Fun to talk about dogs with these guys. They are very helpful with novice folks. Most of them actually hunt beside these events where they just spot raccoons. So lots of gun talk that goes over my head. Wish us luck. I'm just hoping I can stumble through the woods at night without breaking something!!

Sounds like you're gonna have a ton of fun, don't break anything.

Or if you do break something, make sure it is something not real important..

I had a guy stop by to get 3 chickens today....

One was a hen that was on the floor beneath the turkey hen sitting on eggs in that cage 8 ft off the ground...

Some of you will think I am making this up. It is so bizzare. The hen went into one of the cubbie holes in the bottom cage on the floor. I went to get her.

The brooding turkey started her hissing snake routine. I ignored her like always. I was on my knees reaching in to get the hen. The hen was squawking and protesting my picking her up..

As I was pulling her towards me an egg come falling down just missing my head and hitting my arm. It was a blue egg... I notice when it broke it was not rotten or developing..

I took the hen and went to where the guy stood watching this. I said did you see that I almost got hit in the head with an egg.

He said “ Yea, I saw it that turkey pushed it out of the nest at you.”

I laughed, and said , “ I doubt it was on purpose, she probably just hit it with her feet when the noise excited her.”

He said. “No, she used her beak and rolled it out the nest towards you.”


I said... “ no, she wouldn’t do that.”

He insisted she did and said it looked like she aimed for you..


You decide, all I know is she was above me and I was hit by a chicken egg.

What makes it really believable is that she used a chicken egg and not a turkey egg.

Turkey may raise chicks if they have no other option, but it's like anything else. Birds of a feather and all that...

Well...we didn't embarrass ourselves and I didn't break anything or get lost in the woods. They were teasing me & thought they should put the GPS tracker on me instead of the dog. My coonhound did well. He ranked 5th of 17 dogs competing!!!! I was amazed. He didn't run after a deer or show up with a possum in his mouth. He earned a little credibility. Was expecting him to be up wanting breakfast & to take his morning constitutional. But he is DEAD to the world. It was a long day for him! Poor boy! He was in his element and made the most of it. He got points toward his hunting title. So now off to the aussie show...

Ralphie....you better believe that turkey did that on purpose! Your lucky she wasn't keeping a rotten egg for you!! What a girl!
