I just wasn't sure what they were. Was hoping they'd be worth something...LOL!

Sunny & nice here. Girls sunbathing.

That's why he should have kept DQ. I have visions of him with her on his lap and the two of them chatting away! Daisy isn't very vocal. She hops in my lap, settles down, and takes a nap. Looks like Blossom is my most vocal. She likes to chat it up. Always has something to say. She will let me get a word in, but she always has to have the last word. Marigold is not a lapper yet...but hops up & sits next to me wanting attention. I think Daisy always in my lap puts her off. She's been known to pull tail feathers if another turkey is in my lap.

Thanks Molpet!

The girls are steadily getting bolder. All three will now follow Daisy & I about half way down the drive. Blossom is the ring leader. Yapping the whole way. And a neighbor walked up to us & it didn't bother them. She did think Marigold was rather pudgy. She also thought Skinny Iris wouldn't make much more than a turkey sandwich!! Not sure why folks have to remark on their sizes!! Soon the whole herd will be taking strolls with Daisy & I...can't wait! They sure are a colorful bunch!

Love the pic of Romeo! You need to give him more babies to fuss over! LOL!

The girls actually made it all the way out to the front yard yesterday!! We've been taking it slow. I've been letting them go as far as they want & never forced them. There is so much going on out front, wanted them to slowly get desensitized to all the activity. Blossom is the bravest. Marigold follows & I don't trust Iris not to freak over something! Daisy is busy showing them all the best patches of early weeds to eat. I'm excited with their progress.
