Gonna try the grabber when I do put Blue aka Stew in Freezer camp,
give my girls all a break as he has quite the harem with 18 every day
My plan is pretty solid go six months with no cockerel then look to get a
Marans cockerel

That, or one of the loop on a stick things that animal control uses to catch/handle aggressive dogs, get the loop around her neck, tighten, and then move her head with the stick...

I read this really fast and thought it said, tighten, and then remove her head with the stick.

Which under the circumstances might not be a bad idea.

We had to go into the city today. It's just freakin miserable outside. Foggy, drippy, grey and even foggier on our way home. I told my husband that I was just completely tired of everything being gray and brown. I'm ready for green grass, green trees, green plants. And I want them now!

Maybe @superchemicalgirl could drop a flake of hay on the broody turkey and while it is trying to strike through that, snag the egg 'next door'.

I got one of those grabber things at TSC for my wife. She had mentioned them (not really wanting to need one but realizing that in the morning her RA makes it hard to pick something off the floor). That lightbulb came on when I needed to pull something forward on an upper shelf at TSC so I could grab it. The grabber was conveniently on the shelf below ... where someone had put it down, the rest of them were elsewhere in the store.

Not sure I would trust myself to pick up an egg with it, I'd probably crush the egg. But if the turkey had a desire to stick its neck on the 'V', I think that would be a good time to squeeze the 'trigger'.

I pick up eggs all the time with one of those grabbers. They do not have that much force at the little rubber ends.

You guys are killing me, thank you

Penny I'm so sorry. Hugs!

My Dr.s office called and all my test's came back fine. So I made an appt. with another Dr. that I have not seen before but I am hoping we can find out what is going on.

it could just be a little stress. It happens to me all the time.

Several times a day I use my Pick-up Tool get eggs from the other side of 2X4 welded wire pen divider wire. I can use the tool thru the wire and not break any eggs, the tool does not have a strong grip at the tips/cups.
