susan, I have heard that you could put them in a cage that is hanging from the ceiling, something about the cool air on their hineys and the twirling of the cage breaks them...I don't know if it works or not, I have only had broody turkeys

I read somewhere that you can dip their hiney in a bucket of ice water.... I would say that would break what ever mood I would be in at the moment.

More adventures in turkey land.....My lilac turkey decided to go for a nice little swim in the humidity bucket of my Sportsman!  My roommate was being "helpful" by filling my water bucket on my incubator and left the lid off.  I was feeding the other brooder, turned around and there was a little lilac swimming in circles in the bucket just like a little duckling.  I didn't know turkeys could swim!!!!  He was pretty proud of himself.  Needless to say, the lid has been tightly duck taped (no pun intended) to the top of bucket in case someone else decides to take a little dip.

I found out turkeys could swim when my son hollered from his pool "hey ma did you know turkeys could swim?" Sure enough he had turkeys swimming with him. They were pretty big then too! Silly turkeys! The ducks and geese weren't allowed up in that pool and boy were they unhappy about that. Turkeys get everything good.

Ok, so I was a bit behind......

Sounds like my guy friends.  I've learned a lot though hanging out with them.  I can tell a diesel brand by sound now and the diff between a 12 and 24 valve Dodge.  Gotta come in handy someday!


You know, I'd almost talked myself out a of a CCL flock, but every time I see one I talk myself back into it!


Ohh!  Wonder if ours here does too!

It's always the Sat ones.  I got sent a swap package on Sat this weekend, and the guy stuffed it in my mailbox that is on the highway!!  Realllllly?  I'm darn happy the surprise goose eggs that were in there were fine!

I have a broody Lucy too!  She's a Light Brahma, and her little ones are due this weekend.  Going to build a nice brooder pen for her this week... 

Wow!  Then you'll get the double stalk for soaps and eggs!

I'm limiting the swapping to 2 bars per batch/type of soap. I really need to focus on sales instead of swapping my entire inventory away, lol.

Maybe they are afraid of freezing the eggs? June sounds "safer".. Perhaps you could offer to pay extra for a heating pad or double boxing with heating pads.. those eggs are really small and I have heard they don't like temperature changes much...

ooo yea that's a truth. maybe ill bring that up to them

Some of my chickens refuse to use the nest boxes and every time I find where they are laying they change to somewhere else. This one must have found a pretty good hiding place. She showed up Sunday with chicks in tow. This is my second hen to go broody on a clandestine nest of eggs and then show up with chicks. These chicks had to be sired by my Mille Fleur d'Uccle cock. He is the only feather footed cock in my flock.
