So I was in the coop... minding my own business...

Scratch that...

I was in the coop, collecting eggs and putting Miss Piggy to bed, and I spotted the perpetually broody turkey had, at some point today, moved to her auxiliary nest - the clean one. I thought to myself, hey SCG, you should get those fresh eggs out from under her and maybe clean her primary nest out since she's not on it. I turned the light off and got in there a few times to get all the eggs out. I am wearing a jacket, and with each grab she bites the jacket, flailing about, but I'm winning this battle, you see. I get all the eggs, and she only kills the jacket. At this point I think I'm smarter than a turkey. More agile, more fluid, more... winning.

So I get all the eggs out from under her and I think to myself, hey SCG she's been broody a while, the poor thing is half starved, you should get her off that nest and onto a roost.

These kind of thoughts will kill a person.

Ignore them if you ever have them.

So I get my hand in there, again, and I'm trying to push the turkey out of the nest. She's steadfast. Then I grab one of her legs, bend it and try to grab the other in an effort to get her out of the nest box without her Nest Box Club(TM) legs at work. This is where I swear the bowels of hell opened up in that nesting box and out came Devil-Turkey. She came flying out of the next box at the speed and frequency of the tazmanian devil, coming after my face. I fly back from the nest boxes, to the furthest corner of the coop, thankful at this point that I will not be undergoing a face transplant anytime soon. I decide that I'm no longer full of winning, and that the turkey can hatch any egg she wants to at this point. I think it's over. Oh, it's not. She's going to pay me a lesson now that I'm cornered. She's out of the box, all puffed up and seriously ticked off, and comes after me, ninja-like, with all her pointy ends out trying to disembowel me. I swear I saw some of her moves in a Jackie Chan...

Anyway, I let out some pretty primordial screams, certain that death was upon me.

After going 2 rounds with the Devil, she gave up to go back to her nest, leaving me with only 2 visible bite marks, in my right elbow.

Ron, love the pics. Wow to the lady bugs! Nice looking family.

scg, you are lucky the turkey let you off so lightly.

Years ago, I had a boyfriend that had a Yamaha 750. We never got into any accidents, but several of his friends did. He eventually sold the bike. My dad hated motorcycles, and when my brother wanted one, he helped him get a car instead.

Went to the oral surgeon this morning. He got both teeth out without damage to the jaw bones. The rest of my teeth all look good, so now I can resume with my regular dentist. My mouth is sore, but tolerable.

You need to write books. I would buy your books.
I'm glad you survived.

Excellent news that the surgery went well and the other teeth look good.
