I LOVE the tutu!!! You've got to push those! Too cute!!!

I was going play gobbling on my phone for him. Thought that was a good idea. But then I got concerned he would think I was the one gobbling. I don't need to confuse him more. I'm betting Daisy will make a man of him this spring....LOL! My poor baby.... and poor me....

LOL!! Reminds me of Kathy's pea-porn. Here's what I know about toms: they puff up & look cool, they gobble, their heads feel like rubber erasers. There ya go....

Good one Flash!! Actually that's a cute idea! All of us turkey folk could have matching tee shirts! If some of us meet up we could all wear our tee shirts!! Gee...all the chicken folks would be jealous!

Flash....I second Ralphies SS comments. Solid white feathers are a no no. But I agree they are such fun birds....who cares? There were a few older guys breeding for show several years ago that had developed some nice birds. But I don't think they are around anymore. I wish they were a more popular breed. They make a good backyard breed for folks that just want easy going egg layers. Especially if they have kids. The other problem is lack of size in the breed. They remain my favorite breed with my Barnvelders running a close second.

I figured everyone was recovering from the weekend!
Still setting record highs here. High 90's. Just miserable!

Aurora, you can freeze the nuts.

Flashpoint....my turkeys LOVE the acorns. But, being a diva, I have to step on them and crack them open for Daisy. She'll stand there while I step on a few, eat them, and wait for me to crack more for her. Entitled....

I'm up in Ste. Genevieve MO. Best time of year to travel the delta. Just starting to harvest cotton. Due to lack of rain, it's super white & bright. Looks like snow as far as you can see.
