Your ordering turkeys??
Where from?

porter's poultry has a huge list of turkeys - I was going to do their pre-sale assorted mix, get a few random birds to see what I like!!! Eat the ones I don't. LOL at 4.99 a bird, and 1 per bird for shipping, isn't bad!

The action potential from the RETINA goes to SOME areas in the brain. Some goas to the LGN( Lateral Geniculate Nucleous) wich layes in the THALAMUS and from there its travel to the optic cortex in the occipital lob of the Cerebrum. Some info goes to the SCN (Suprachiasmatic nucleus ) wich is responsible to the circadian rhythm by controlling the pineal gland, and some gos to some brain nuclear that controls the muscles that moves the eye balls. The Hypothalamus , that controls the reproductive system gets its info and commands from higher parts of the cerebrum that process all the sensory info that came from the sensory system including the eye. ( you made me refresh my neuroscience studies

)

So without getting overly technical for the average backyard chicken keeper who wants to know why they aren't getting eggs, I was pretty close in my explanation of why chickens start and stop laying?

He didn't really have a say in how close I got, he was dead at that point.

What killed it? The dogs or poison?

I shot it.

You shot Jimmy Hoffa?!

You shot Jimmy Hoffa?!

I think that happened in the '60s. There was a big Pillsbury flour mill being built by my house and my parents told me he was buried in the row of huge concrete silos.

I wouldn't know anything about that.

Thanks. There for a while I thought I was way off till I looked into it more.

I'm certainly no expert on the minute portions of the brain, their multiple functions and chemistry involved. I tend to look at the big picture. Otherwise, I'd be teaching semester long university classes rather than day long community college chicken keeping classes.

Really! I remember riding past the mill with my parents. I would have thought that was before I was in the Army. I stand corrected.
