Oh so sorry you lost Edith and Ethel. Do male turkeys ever protect the hens from predators? Just wondering.

Owls are stealthy predators, for sure, but they are mostly nocturnal. Where did it get your turkey? I know that sometimes, they'll hunt at dusk or slightly before if it's very overcast and dark like it often is in winter. Did you see it or just deduce it was an owl from the evidence?
Thanks. Yeah they do but There was nothing he could do he was on the other side of the fence. There was blood and feathers all over.Oh so sorry you lost Edith and Ethel. Do male turkeys ever protect the hens from predators? Just wondering.
Inside there 3-4ft tall covered pen. I forgot the door open.
No, he has to leave tomorrow morning! Ack! It will be the coldest morning of the season so far. I think the next day may be even colder, but he has to drive along the river corridor and that scares me. THIS is why we got our AWD Honda instead of settling for front wheel drive. It will be a test, for sure.Getting caught up...... loved the pics of the quilts and of you and your son. Oh, and of Rachel's babies of course. They are so beautiful Cyn!
Did Tom make it back ok from Knoxville? My cousin is stranded there and doesn't know when she will be leaving.![]()

I agree, Rachel's babies are gorgeous. Atlas is doing great. A lady on a FB online yard sale who got BR eggs from me just PM'd me to let me know that ALL sixteen are developing. WTG, my man !
Oh, I apologize I thought he was leaving today for Knoxville. This morning about 9:00 my cousin posted a video of it snowing like the dickens in Knoxville and as a matter of fact I texted her a few minutes a go and it is still snowing off and on. I will say a prayer that your husband and son make it safely to Knoxville and that your husband returns home safely as well.
Atlas is quite the stud muffin isn't he? I cannot wait to get my hands on some of his babies/eggs. I see photos of chicks that members of our area BYC club post all of the time and they just don't have the look of "robust health" that Atlas' babies possess.
No need to apologize. My exclamation point in the first sentence was to signify my worried state over that, sorry if it seemed like I was yelling or something. I am scared to death about that trip. I'm staying home to take care of the birds and I won't be able to settle down until he calls me. Then, I'll start to worry all over again when he leaves the airport to come back home again. He'll be dog tired by then, poor man.
I agree about Atlas's little sons and daughters. They sure seem like chunky monkeys, though this horrible weather has kept them mostly inside since they were hatched.
