A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

You can't have my Cuddles! @AnneInTheBurbs has a daughter of Cuddles and Romeo and I believe that she's just as sweet I should send you a couple eggs lol

I have Cuddle's mom (or grandma). Anyway she is about 4 years old now and will come running when I call her (her name is "Momma Turkey" because she is the mother or grandmother of all my current flock). She loves to eat out of my hand and while she doesn't come for a hug, she allows me to pick her up and pet her. All the farm visitors are drawn to her, even over the toms and the peafowl next door, because she is so engaging. I think there is a genetic component to the extreme friendliness. Also, none of her sons has ever even approached a person aggressively. I have a 3 black mottled toms that roam around the farm like a teenage gang, but they are never aggressive.
She has even more white now, this pic is a year old.

stilts is 3 weeks old now, and finally looking like it will grow into it's feathers lol.

still a little smaller than its chicken companions that are a week older but not by much. So far I am very happy with my oops baby

OOps babies are the bestest ones!

I am so glad to see you agreed and are not that person known to argue over the proper from of a word. I could see her and her ilk getting bend out of shape over----- "bestest"----- some people just do not know all the forms and tenses of words...

Aliciaplus3....love the baby!!!!

my family is known to use our own formations of words, not as bad as the redneck terms, but still not always recognized by most folks...... such as 'luper' a meal between noon and 5 that combines the 2 common meals into one large meal, simular to brunch.
So I'm my case 'bestest' is perfectly acceptable. Lol now getting auto correct on my phone to leave it alone, that's a whole different matter
Edited to fix puctuation

BantyChooks we like it when you join in, not all of us are proper or use proper English as long as that doesn't get in the way of chicken talk all is well I hope.
