my turkey goes to sleep after a bit of petting.

but it dont sleep long just a few moments. Is that a good thing that they close their eyes and get all zoned out looking?


so far Spartacus is a very calm lil bugger too. when I'm holding it, it'll just sit there for a very long time holding still. just looking around, or laying its head down or just resting.

Think of how you feel when you're getting a massage, or someone else is combing or brushing your hair -- it's that "ahhhhh" factor

My turkey hen does the same thing. I love it! She slowly sinks to the ground and zones completely out.

My Ameraucanas just LOVE to have their beards and muffs tickled.

This is Barnham, the bearded hen. Her mother abandoned her when she was a week old, after a hail storm killed her other 11 brothers & sisters. We brought her in the house & raised her. Now, at 7 years old, she STILL runs up in front of us , so we will pick her up & carry her around. She LOVES sleeping in our arms while being carried around.
