Ralphie....too cold - too hot....hate both!

Aurora....thinking the same thing. They have really glommed onto it. I guess they now have a blankie! These birds really have me wrapped around their toes! Daisy is passing on her diva behavior! She's probably giving them tips on how to get me to do their bidding!

Sfgwife....she sounds like a cool dog!

Cindy....tried sneaking up on the poults with the phone....they hop up as soon as they see me! I'm trying!

I did go fluff up their towel for them. Shook out the wood chips and refolded it. I think Daisy smirked at me!

Been trying to sneak up on my poults to get a towel shot. Impossible!!

Aww! Mine have an adopted momma too. Daisy the diva who is teaching them her wicked ways! Kidding.....Daisy has been great with them. Other than the towel incident...they've been very well behaved! And yes, they are still lounging in the towel! Who knew?

I'm still holding on to my theory that my penciled is a hen. And I really think my mottled is a tom. When I got them....the mottled was smaller and obviously younger. Now its bigger, with thick ankles....and its tiny snood is standing upright and is definitely larger than the pencileds. And its head is all of a sudden just generally larger. They've always had very different personalities. So...just a theory....cause I have no experience with poults! However....I can pick figure out the sexes of a SS at an early age!!

Hadn't thought of that....a turkey in every house!! I can just see everyone walking their birds instead of their dogs!
Maybe...if it's really a boy....I'll name him Elvis!
