my kind of research...

according to science I am normal, need to show this to hubby who is up at sunrise and sleeping by 7pm...I am just getting started at 7pm....I blame it on years of swingshift though not science.

We don't battle over it, but I am definitely a night person and he isn't! .. too many years of weird schedule on the ambulance, I am as functional at 0200 as I am at 2 pm..

No battle here, but after decades of swing shift, please explain what a sleep pattern is? I have had weeks my shift has changed daily and I ended up working all 24 hours. Also did a 25 hour shift one day.

Know exactly where you are coming from! I work 5 shifts every 2 weeks, but they are each 24 hours long. So am at work 120 hours every 2 weeks (or more quite often) I love taking my vacation time for sure!

my point exactly,,,after years of this kind of work,,,having that set schedule of early to bed early to rise, just does not happen......I to can go days without sleep and think of it as normal,,,but when I crash I expect to be left alone,,,,I do not really care if it's 8 am and things need done....

guess I am in the wrong profession,,,everyone seems to think that birds need fed early in the morning......my chickens seem perfectly happy to see me at midnight....

and who says I can not mow the grass at 10pm in the summer.....that is what the headlights are there for right...

just a rant about society and the so called normal order of things...

Why does there have to be a 'normal'... and who gets to decide what normal is? Sorry, but if it works for me and doesn't interfere with someone else then they are welcome to keep their opinions on 'normal' to themselves!

I can absolutely imagine that being a pain! "Hey guys, it's the feed person again. Do you have any treats? Your hands are empty. How about those pockets, anything in there? Why not?"

that's the good part of what I do,,,,I hatched that bird, so I know exactly what went into it, even the meds it had over the 3 years (which is a little as possible for me)

I like that part myself... something very comforting and rewarding about being able to look at the finished bird and knowing exactly what it is...
 
Hi I am looking to get 3 Narragasant turkey chicks to be delivered around the beginning of april.
Is there any body that would ship just 3 of these?
Most of the hatcherys want you to buy a mimun of like 10 to 20.
I figgured that my land can only safely support about 3, and I would like to get a heritage turkeys like the Narragasants.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dennis

The reason they make you order so many is because they keep each other warm during shipping. Unless you can find someone local that you can pick up from the poults will need to be at least a couple weeks old in order to safely ship just 3.
