78 saddles? The month isn't even over! That's amazing! You need to employ the kids!

Bantambird....what a cutie! What a sweet face!

And all you hatch-aholics...just the excuse you need! LOL!

So we are under lockdown here. The turkeys love it! They are all getting lots of attention. Happy birds. Coonhound too.

Well....one virtue of my coonhound...he can sleep through anything!

Hey! Do I spy a beard on that girl? Love a bearded lady. Those boys are gorgeous. So colorful.

I've been to the grocery store & the drug store. Other than that.....just hanging out at home. Not too bad. Have some highly social friends that are going crazy. I'm still finding this all so unreal. Never thought I'd see the world so upside down.

Cynthia & the hen sure look cozy!

Boy....sure is quiet around here. No cars up & down the street. I sure hope everyone is being careful. This is all so freaky!

That's the issue. Can't tell who may be infected. I'm still having a hard time getting my head around all of this.

Well....I'm enjoying being at home. But I'm getting a bit hinky about having to go to the grocery. I need to make a run.

Bantambird & Ralphie....the pics are priceless! So glad Holm is paying attention to DQ. She's special. AND has a beard!!
Haven't been on much. Not feeling great. Lupus flare. Sleeping a lot. Which the hound likes. Not taking the girls for walks. Don't want to encounter too many other folks. So...not at my best. Thanks for the suggestions on the groceries. Y"all are right. I'll call in an order.
Hope everyone is hanging in there. Especially worried about Aurora....she's out amongst it all.
I'll check in tomorrow. Be safe....and may we all find toilet paper!!

I'm starting to feel better. Dr called in a new protocol to get me past this flare....and by gosh I think its working! This is so NOT about turkeys, but I feel we have a great little group, so sorry if I'm sharing too much!!
I do have a sweet story! I drug myself to the Walgreen's drive through to pick up these new meds. I've been so achy I'm having a tough time walking or even moving my arms. Pretty bad shape. I asked the pharmacist if they could get me some cough medicine. And, for some reason a Sprite. I don't often drink soda. With a smile, she ran off & got both for me. And since my hands weren't working well, even opened them for me. I teared up. Just a lesson....sometimes the smallest things can make a huge difference to someone.

And now back to turkeys. Blossom. Marigold and Iris are all broody & piled up together. Daisy is sitting on a roost above pooping on them. I need to go rout them all out today. May be in for a fight! But I feel up to the task!!
