A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

R2elk, pretty birds... Holm, if I can get the bird netting up today I will start moving mine through the hotel suite. One of my palms is so ready she's submitting to the rooster--but he's ill-equipped to get the job done.

Lol, my goofy palm had been submitting to hubby and I lately. Just laying there and looking hopefully at us. We'll, my muscovy stake thought that was an invitation for him but she was very quick to tell him off.I think he was rather offended. He really likes the Palms lol.

I think I managed to break Process from her broody big but Queenie is still very stubbornly broody. I may give her a couple chicks to try to raise, just to break her. Last night, Mary was snuggled up in the nest with Queenie so it looks like she's trying the broody thing again too. These girls drive me crazy. But as psycho of a bird as Queenie is, she's super calm now that she's broody. While it used to take a concentrated effort to catch her before, it's extremely easy now and she's very mellow. I imagined that she would be a terrible whirlwind of feathers...

My keeper poults are growing fast and I do believe that the little palm that loved to strut may just be a boy. He's starting to get little back flecks on his feathers already. I seem to remember Princess and Queenie taking forever to get any black on theirs.
 
Guess what everybody? I'm getting hatching eggs from Ralphie!!

Aurora...what poults are you keepin?? Maybe Queenie is just maturing. Not a crazy teen turkey anymore!


Finnie....congrats on getting SS eggs!! Hope you have a good hatch rate! I just love mine. Ralphie, is Cuddles the dad by any chance?
 
Memphis-I'm keeping 3 bourbons, hoping for a new tom to replace Adam and one palm. Well see what happens with that. Hopefully, they'll make it easy on me to decide who goes in the freezer and who gets to stay and take over the flock. I need a nice tom. BUT if that palm is a tom. I'm going to have some issues when it comes to making a choice. So far, he's super sweet and palm toms are beautiful, but unless Romeo turns mean, I can't use him. I'll just have to wait and see for sure what everyone is and how their personalities are lol
