A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

Marigold is developing a bad habit. She's hanging back when its bedtime. She'll hop up on the bench & I have to go give her some attention, then I pick her up & carry her to the coop. I've tried just shoo-ing her off the bench, but she won't shoo. And boy...she's a heavy chunky bird. Not sure what's going on with her.

she just requires a little more attention from the alpha thats all... funny how fast they get us trained!

That was my thought too. Marigold just wants extra hen hugs. Fred....I need to weigh her. She's a bit bigger than the others....but seems twice as heavy. And those white feathers on her head are soft & downy. She has a patch right on top of her head. A little punk looking! I need to get some pics...they are sure maturing into beautiful birds. Of course I think all turkeys are beautiful. Contrary to my family & friends!!

And Blossom is a talker. I love it when shes standing at my feet, looking up, giving me side eye, and just chattering away. Its cute!

our "little bit" the poult that sweetheart the hen is raising is a handfull! if mama is not where she wants her that little one will stand there and Scream at her till mama fixes it! so funny. or scream at the kid for not bringing her fresh water NOW! little stinker.( I say her but its just wishfull thinking its probably a tom)

That's a poult with personality! Sounds like a diva in the making!!

No idea what they were doing... but all the girls were all in the back part of the yard. Usually, knowing their bedtime, they are hanging out by the coop. I didn't see them back there so called for them. And here they came! Running those fat drumsticks off. I was laughing so hard I had to sit down. Flapping & yapping the whole way. I just love turkeys!

Probably conspiring on where to start hiding eggs... oh wait that would be mine. We put a few more turkey eggs in the incubator last night. This is supposed to be the last turkeys for a while...
