The last picture is a Self Blue (aka Lavender). You can see the white face mask associated with the black color gene.

The three that you have hatched are white and are not slates.

Whew - well that is good news for me! lol. Maybe not so much for the sister who was hoping, Pretty sure the last one is white also. Thanks @R2elk!!

Now I just need to get them raised to adulthood and hope there is at least 1 boy or 1 girl in the mix!

Also want to say that I did not even see that "mask" until you pointed it out. Live and learn, for sure.

Beautiful babies @Flashpoint!

I can't believe it but I'm actually COLD! It's a grand 64° right now.... So crazy after a sweltering weekend!

Thank you! Believe me, keeping all fingers and toes (and then some) crossed that they do well.

And I do understand about the weather. 62.1 here and just had a major storm. Note! They are calling for 90 degrees again starting next Monday for this area. This last session literally melted my pumpkin and winter squash crops into the ground - gone, done, zippo left. Cabbages did not fare very well either. The only thing looking decent right now is the okra, tomatoes, and sunflowers.

I thought it was only me suffering from “melted” garden syndrome..

My vine plants are pretty much toast this year. The leafs on my Zucchini melted away, but the plant sent out new ones. I have 2 leafs on 2 plants now.

There is not enough time to get a crop off any of them this year.

Ok. New question.

What is the best way to contain a turkey so it cannot move - I need to check Tommie's legs and put stuff on them. Pretty sure he has scaly legs. (my avatar pic)

A large towel and strong companion

I use Holm to hold difficult birds still.

Wrap him in a towel? Best would probably be to have someone hold him.

I tried that, Holm fought like a banshee when I got the towel around him..

Way too much work..
