Aren't turkeys funny! Fidget is so loving with her little itty bitties right now, but let's me pick them up. Prissy sits below them and calls to the babies. She wants them so bad! I would let her help, but she left her own when they were only a week. Silly girl! I have one broody Marans hen that has been broody for about six months. She keeps killing and eating her chicks. Literally I found her with the feet sticking out of her beak! Stupid girl! We don't give her eggs, she steals them from other broodies just before they hatch. She's disgusting! I think we will eat her. Clarissa another Marans is an awesome broody! I think she could hatch a rock. Our Marans pullets are just beginning to lay now and they lay the cutest little chocolate eggs ALL OVER THE BLOODY PLACE!
Good luck at the auction Krazy!. Let us know what cute little things you bring home.
lol @ that pic! didn't buy any birds, but sold the roos, the trio. a dozen guineas and a few chicks, was a nice bit of money, for this area especially, where people don't know anything other than barred rocks and rhode island reds, lol.
I would most definitely be eating that broody marans, no good to be broody all the dang time if you are just gonna eat the babies.
