Thanks R2elk! Figured they slowed down. Wanted to understand the process.

Finnie....bummer.

I worry so much in the summer due to our heat & humidity. Lots of water, shade & box fans are my only defense.

Oh wow! How cool is that? And what a great dad!!

Was over on the "Surviving Minnesota " thread inquiring on Coffee's whereabouts. They are busily marrying off Holm AND deciding his career path! Poor kid, whoops....young man....! The whole group is going to the wedding once Ralphie completes his screening process. I think us Turkey Thread folk ought to go too!!

Rain is over. Lovely evening. Sitting outside, Daisy asleep on my lap....luckily she doesn't mind my tablet parked on her back.

Good to hear your shipping live Ralph. Can I order one Snitch and two SS? You can add JJ Jr as a big packing peanut....

Tell them you know someone selling turkey eggs for 3 bucks a piece to a baker. I just give away my chicken eggs. My family, chicken sitter, few close friends....I don't have a large flock....actually need to add a couple new girls. My flock is aging. My old SS are still pumping out a few a week. I have a 5 year old Barnvelder still consistently laying too.

I'm looking for a "Warning: Attack Turkey" sign. The way Annie goes off when someone she doesn't know turns up will make you stop and think. She looks fierce but most of the time if she's screaming at someone and I pick her up she peeps like a baby....
