Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

No I don’t have turkeys. I think they’re really neat though. Do you have any?

I don't. I asked because I remember a video you posted that sounded like a turkey was in the background. My memory doesn't always serve me well I do have a hen that sounds like a turkey. Honestly I'm surprised she hasn't called any in

Oh... lol that was one of my guinea fowl. Bandit sure does love to make a ruckus!

 

[HeatherKellyB]

Oh, okay. I understand now I got my fowl speak mixed up So it was Bandit that was offended by you not including them in your video. Your spotlight thief, I mean Guinea fowl are gorgeous!

Yes Bandit likes all the attention to be on him! Looks may be deceiving because he’s a real piece of work!
He likes to attack me if I walk in the yard. I’ve tried correcting his behavior to no avail. He frequently draws blood.

I’ve considered it but I’m too wimpy to go through with it...

^^^This is the only reason that 3 jerk roosters are still living here. I always tell my sweet boys to let the jerks "be brave" if a predator shows up One of these days I'll get fed up and find my big girl panties and take care of them.

Soft hearts aren't a bad thing... but I got no problem taking heads off extra boys or sick birds.
I do try to find them homes first, but if all else fails, they're tasty.

Two of my jerks are over 2 years old and the third is a silkie that will turn 2 years old in August. I worry that they'll be inedibly tough and the silkies black meat, just ugh. What do you think?

Black meat grosses me out too.

Stew pot! They'll make delicious broth!
