I can't tell you that goats are well behaved animals. They are also incredible hay wasters. That makes my blood boil. Don't they know there's starving children?

oh, you have turkeys? what colors?

Currently I have 2 toms (one blue slate mix and one black spanish likely mix) and one pure bourbon red girl. Had a second one of those but she perished in early fall. The turkey girl has been broody about 2 months, now. And is a nasty piece of work when broody. Sweet as can be when she's not.

Why can't I ever have normal animals?

i hear all turkey broodies are nasty, but have never met one
my neighbor has royal palm/red bourbons, i want to get a couple eggs from her and a few from varying places so i can get a fun party mix, and of course eat any extra toms
 
The reason I have 2 toms is because the hen I processed before one of the toms got stuck in the scalder. And the toms were bigger. So... they got a reprieve.

Usually I don't eat the girls, but this one had a love affair with BFs truck. She'd fly out of the run and spend all day on top of his truck, scratching it and pooping on it. She did it to the UPS guy when he'd come deliver, too. He made sure we knew he was thankful she was gone. I guess he got stuck here a few times trying to get her off his truck.

lol, i dont mow, not allowed to

i guess its not a good idea to run over rocks and such, and since i am in the granite state we have a lot of them

I have also learned this lesson, but I'm still allowed to mow. Apparently I've not done enough damage and it's easy enough to replace the blade and windows.

Now we can discuss my covert use of power tools... since I'm not allowed to use them.
