From egg to chick!

They keep ganging up on the hens that are lower in the pecking order.

That and to stop the fighting seems possible if you truly separate the cockerels/roosters. But for most people this is undoable. I can’t keep any, because all roosters are too noisy and I live within town boundaries.

I think the idea was either from @TwoCrows or @tlcmurphy . Kithara means guitar in Greek, so I think it was their egg, their idea (based on the fact that I had Dolly Parton, and tlcmurphy had Jolene, so we needed a guitar to complete the set), and I just switched up the languages

He's got such a pretty tail!

Good memory, but wasn’t me. I’m still a DP fan though!

Photo dump!

Here is the turkey in question. I...umm....is it a male? I thought it was a girl. Neighbors said girl so I just went with it.

@2ndTink the silkie is further down the photos. Let me know what you are thinking color wise.

Also. Can we just admire Jolene and Kithara in photo 2? I am thinking Jolene's mom was a Wyandotte.

3rd photo is my nosey af RIR Cinnamon. She is the first to run for treats and is ALWAYS following me.

Pic 6 is the Bourbon Red turk turk

Pic 7 is the babies

Pic 8.....my pullet is a roo. Right? They are like....5 weeks old?

Oh! Look at what I just posted. Jolene is up there.

Ummm. Found Kithara's owner. Well.....namesake? Lol. Fluffycrow gave Kithara his name. And what a gorgeous roo he is.

Beautiful birds...but I don't see Dolly

Yes, I'm the one who named Kithara (because it's Greek for guitar), but I don't think I had adopted him? Again, not sure. It's been a while

Also. Saw the last pic, yesterday morning. Like....why?
