A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

My garden was destroyed by hail the other day but it is still producing. I stopped by and the unauthorized incubator in the garden was talking quietly. I looked closer and could see an empty egg shell. Then I saw a poult in front of her. As she lifted up a little, I could see another poult just under her feathers. Then I was able to see a whole lot of little legs going every which way.

Mama got off the nest to reveal 8 new poults and one half shelled egg that was nearly done zipping.

I collected the 8 to move them to the brooder.

Unauthorized incubator #3.

The egg that was partially zipped had a moving beak sticking out. It was partially shrink wrapped but alive. I popped the top of the egg off and removed the shrink wrap. I then put it under unauthorized incubator number one.

Guess it's time to trim wings. The lawn guys showed up nextdoor & started all their mowers & blowers & Iris blew over the fence! I actually drove around the block. Wasn't sure which yard she landed in. Luckily found her in the first backyard & recaptured her. It's a million degrees out, she's panting, I'm panting and while walking to my van this guy stops in his truck & wants to talk turkeys. Geez. And I drove her home in my lap under the A/C. She got some real height & distance on her flight! I'm blaming Daisy for this!!
