Well, I've gotten my first broody chicken. DW got bit pretty good going after an egg today. Didn't know the chicken was there until the first peck. This girl dug a tunnel under a piece of plywood and was hiding in there when DW got the turkeys to get off the eggs. She reached in to get them and strike of the chicken. So I now have four turkeys in varying stages of broodiness and one chicken. The blacks are just plain vicious. I have to grab them as far back as possible to still pen their wings without them being able to reach my hand, and since two share the nest it's a bit complicated as one can peck while I'm grabbing the other. So it's lift and toss X2. But I do have hands of shoe leather, so easier for me to take a peck.

Oooh. I'm blessed in that my broodies don't really go for me! :(

Yes, mine either.. they threaten with dinosaur growls but that’s about it...
We got the yard fence put up :celebrate... tomorrow I will be tying string across it for protection.. and spending the day in the coop as I let Nilky and the babies out to integrate... she was acting frantic last night.. she wanted out and to roost with the BGs... I have already cut a hole in their section and two of the babies walked out and Mak.. one of the middles went after one :rant... but the BGs were looking at them like... hey, what are those tiny things running around :lol:... hopefully Nilky will do her job.. I think she will..
 
It's been a weird sort of day. At low tide we saw our first wallaby in ages. I think she might be female with young in her pouch judging by those hips!:lau

And we finally heard back from the Bee Guy. We have just bought our first beehive. It is coming through the mail ~ with a book on how one does this...:gig:fl:idunno

thank you - I'm in Illinois (USA) this past winter didn't have much snow but usually we have a lot. If you are ever in need just let me know. You can have all the snow I've got.

I appreciate the thought but I can't see me being in need of snow any time soon. I hate the stuff.:oops: It was a novelty for about the 1st 5 minutes when we saw it in Norway ~ & that was it. Ghastly stuff. Wet. Cold. lol
