Ralphie your birds are so creative! And R2elk, as you know mine love to garden with me. It's great company. They are mostly interested in the weeds I'm pulling. Admittedly I'm not gardening veggies, I can't allow chickens in my gardens....but the turkeys are fine. A lot of time when working the girls sprawl out in the sun near me & gossip away. They don't steal tools. They will spend time investigating them. Mine aren't a distraction, they just hang out. You ought to pick out a few hens & let them trail around with you for a few days!! You might be surprised!

Ralphie....shes intense looking! I loved listening to her cussing that rooster!

Hey Feedman. I've been trying to get caught up in the gardens & it just keeps raining. So frustrating. Fred has nice birds! And he's a nice guy ! You know I have two from him. Both now certified lappers! They're good girls. And a couple of tanks! Really like/enjoy them. They are fun. One is quite the talker. She stands in front of me, gives me big side eye and chatters away like crazy. They both have cool personalities. Very different. But then, each turkey has their own individual personality.

Rjohns....we are in the "slight" danger zone tonight. Unless the front dips more south than they anticipate. I'm thinking you won't get slammed like last time. Should be rocking & rolling tonight here around midnight.

Fred....nothing like having an audience when your turkeys act out. I'm glad the two of you aren't still trying to catch the one who escaped during hand-off! LOL! Its always an adventure.
Fred & I handed off at my sisters house both of our vehicles were parked in front of her house. Her yard folks had the driveway full of work trucks. Both of us had the backs of our vehicles open. First there was Fred's with a big cage full of big birds. Then mine with a crate full of coonhound. Fred & I were inside visiting. Outside all the walkers were drifting by. Later my sister said she must have had 10 neighbors wondering what the heck was going on in front of her house. "Oh that was just my sister handing off a few turkeys". She said no one knew they were turkeys. And when she said the dog was a coonhound....well...blank stares. My sister lives in an affluent area. She said all her neighbors were completely befuddled!
