Official Squatch Watchers

@apryl29 Turkeys pull each other's snoods as well as chest butt like chickens, but unlike chickens when one submits the dominant birds won't relent until there's been an ample pulling of the snood. The birds playing ring around the rosy, who ever is in front has submitted but not yet been given the required snood pull and the other two are chasing to carry out the mission. Any number of things can start the game at any given moment.

Well, the guy who left me hanging yesterday messaged. Apparently some chain on his truck broke and he texted his wife, asking her to contact me and she didn't get the text until this morning.

So, I think I'll give him a second chance.

This sounds hilarious...and slightly terrifying as I picture getting run over by rampaging, snood obsessed giant poultry.

Random question inspired by talk of odd poultry habits: are all peahens tater holes? One of my neighbor's peahens loves to hang out in my backyard. I don't really mind; the people are great neighbors and the bird is really pretty. But it is such a jerk to my chickens! I have to shoo it out of the yard during free range time or it will endlessly pursue my chickens and try to bite them. It also hangs out near the run and tries to bit them through the fence. Why? WhyWhyWhy??? There is plenty of room for all but it is obsessed with chook-chasing And I know its owners have chickens too, so it is not like it has never seen one before. Such. A. Tater!

The submissive one is never too shy not to hide behind their big human... It's a wonderful sight to see a couple hundred pounds of turkey coming at you at 30mph

Also, Never Ever put a fence between Toms. Likely the fence won't survive and neither Tom will have any feathers left on their chest. I learned that lesson the hard way.

Lol! Wish I knew, hasn't happend lately but there used to be an old wonky peacock named Steve who'd try to woo the girls. Nobody was buyin what Steve was sellin and Negan is terrified of Steve so total chaos. I got bit so many times taking Steve back home to his poor dejected peahens.

Pending on age you should get checked tiredness can relate to many health issues some more severe than others it's just an opinion As we get older we need to be more conscious of our well being,we're not invisible.Just an opinion that's all

@apryl29 Hope the tiny human feels better soon. Maybe an Epsom salt soak of the belly button would help. A shot glass full held over the button will fill it up for a soak.

Not sure about those turkeys. Made me laugh. Think it’s a dominance thing for mating.

My FBCM has been good. She still had crud in her throat after the ACS treatment and I was worried I was going to have to pin her and clean her throat forever but it’s been good. I think the ACS worked through her system and killed off whatever was ailing her.

Thanks.. I just left a message for the surgeon's office asking if she should see them, or just see her ped b/c she's not feeling well. Kids.

Oh good! It's so scary not knowing what's wrong & just having to guess. Glad the treatment worked!

That is awesome news about the 23andme connection.

Bactroban is wicked strong, so it should help if the infection is localized to the exterior.
Maybe keep track of her temperature for a few days to make sure there’s nothing brewing in the inside.

Yeah, I'd love to find out more info so I can know where to go next.

I'm waiting to hear back from the Surgeon. If I don't hear anything by 330 I'll make a dr appt w/ her ped tomorrow. It could just be regular sickies, but I don't want to ignore it. I had her take her temp and it's normal-ish... Normally her *normal* temp at home is 97.6 and it was 98.7 so it's a little high.

And here I was thinking that chickens were all weird & turkeys are the even stranger poultry.

Ample pulling of the snood...that sounds sooo dirty.

You're not wrong. It also sounds kinda Dr Suess like. Snoods and Thneads.
