Yeah we clean and refrigerate our eating eggs. I may need to put up an electric fence around my hatching eggs

OMG chicka that harness is adorable on that turkey! I don't think I would take my turkey for a walk but you will be styling with that pink harness!

Thanks. I will just walk them around here. lol I do let my hens out to eat the grass but a couple want to argue about going back in now and then. lol

I play with mine like a puppy so that when they are sold people are amazed at how sweet they are. And I train them to come to me when I motion with my finger to come here. Or some get so excited they come flying to land on me.

Take one to tractor supply. The sign says "leashed pets welcome"

Dude that is funny. I would not risk my turkey leaving my farm unless some buys them and they take them home. lol

Quote: I agree. People see me walking my turkey in the pasture when they drive by. Hunters love to come sit in front of the farm to see if they got the right turkey call or practice.

I told the buyer the truth. She said tomorrow shipping would be fine.
Krista and I married May 9 (my birthday and anniversary) 2008. Dang im turning 40 in a few days. Bummer.
Lol my last hatch had my first ever exploding egg. I never want to smell that smell again

Bwaahaa! Your a year older then me, march 29. Went to Turning Stone Casino on B-day, never been to one before. We were up $350 and then gave most of it back :-( just got a free two night stay in their fancy shmancy tower hotel in the mail for end of June, guess they want another chance to take some of our $.
Had a RIR set on some eggs for a month and a half one summer, picked one of the eggs up to crack it open and it exploded in my hand, hurt my fingers!
Maybe a sign "don't eat the blue eggs man!" Like at Woodstock Lol!

Most of my birds are pretty friendly, although I have a couple that are just downright snobby when it comes to love.

I also teach all my animals commands, the most helpful is GO TO BED NOW commands. My poultry and goats are better behaved than the neighbors kids. It does take about 6 months to train each bird what the hand signals mean but they're more than capable of learning. My goats even wait patiently for dinner and will take a step back when I ask them so I can get in there and put the food down without being pushed.

You should see BF do it... he doesn't know the commands... they push and shove and maul him.

I have the authoritah.
