Whew...thankfully Penguin is ok! Poor guy. Any idea how he got hung up? Things are progressing well with my two adopted hens. Learning a lot about turkey behavior. I can't get over how friendly they've become. Had the BR on my lap yesterday evening sound asleep. The Blue Slate got jealous & ended up on the arm of the chair. Both love their heads scratched. Still trying to understand their varied vocalizations. They sound like a couple of aliens with their trills & chirps!

How long will they continue to lay eggs???

Thanks R2elk. I'm not anywhere they will hear a tom...they are city girls. Hopefully they won't decide to hit the town! Hey...maybe Ralphie will send Penguin down for spring break with two wild & crazy hens!!

Love the story about the hen coming in each year. That's pretty cool. I bet there are all kinds of interesting looking birds running around out there.

And I LOVE gardening with my birds. Aurora, looks like you all were having a great day!

Ralphie....what are you going to do with all those boys?
Well...Daisy apparently hopped the fencing & followed me down the drive to the front of the house. I was working in the garden & didn't notice her until a neighbor driving by pulled over & pointed out some weird bird was stalking me. :rolleyes: Thankfully she's easy to catch. So....what now....should I trim her flights? Really can't have her following me through the neighborhood. I was planning to let both girls free range daily while at work. Not comfortable with that now!

Ralphie! Poor Daisy. ..she's been through enough! Realized this morning as they were free ranging that if I got out of her sight she starts making loud turk turk sounds. Almost sounds like a bark. When I go see what the heck is wrong she'd start that trill. When taking a break I go sit in the chair out there & Daisy comes over & lays down. Sighhh....my little buddy.
I'm taking MM's advice. I've trained enough dogs....certainly I can train Miss Daisy! :/

MM...gorgeous turkeys! The Blue Slate is stunning! By the way....is that a red-tri australian shepherd?? Or a BC?
