DULUTHRALPHIE:

I want to wish you a

CONGRATULATIONS.

1 year ago today you started this thread. To get people coalesced toward one turkey talk thread.

One statement in your first post was "if I fail so be it"

Doesn't look like you failed almost 6900 posts.

So tonight bust open a Mikes and have one for a job well done.

Feedman...sounds like things are going well with the hatch! Yipee! Can't wait to see pics of them all.

Welcome Trish! Your Palms are gorgeous!

We have a few special terms we use for turkeys on this thread:

Lapper - the turkey that seeks out attention, likes to sit in your lap or be easily picked up
Tolorant - the turkey that would rather not be picked up, but will allow it
Lurky - the turkey that doesn't want to be petted or picked up but follows you everywhere
Bellybutton - our term for a jerk turkey

So, I have lappers. And your right....they make great pets!!

Now that I have a real lapper, in my SS hen, I have decided I really like them. I thought tolorants were good (JJ and Ethel) but this having a self made lapper is so cool!

Ralphie....those SS are just the best. Glad you got a little lapper out of it! Big Betty used to hop in my lap all the time until Daisy arrived and decided she is the only lapper allowed.
The one thing about the SS is that they are the BEST foragers I have. The Barnvelders aren't too bad, the Australorps are slackers. I let my SS squad in my garage and they go hunting for bugs. They crawl behind everything. They have a bug hunting routine!!

Speaking of turkey jerks, Farmer's Insurance has a turkey jerk commercial.

Thanks!!





Trish those turkeys are beautiful!!!








I am so glad we kept the turkeys. They add more color to the flock and have started becoming sweet hearts. Mr. T likes his neck rubbed and Mabel is just starting to come around.
