Just got a call from my chicken sitter. Tornadoes in Memphis. Apparently one touched down in Clarksdale Mississippi. 40 miles south of Memphis. Any blues fans out there may know the significance of Clarksdale. That's were Robert Johnson sold his sole to the devil. But, back to my birds! My chicken sitter got there just as it was blowing in. Apparently all the chickens had gone to their coop. Good girls! However when they saw her they left the coop & tried to run toward her in 40-50 mph winds. She said it looked like a yard of feathered tumbleweeds. She got them all back in the coop. They are all ok. She's ok. But she was hysterical on the phone laughing so hard. She wishes she had a video. Said it was the funniest thing she's seen in awhile. :rolleyes:
My turkeys were in their run, on a roost, just watching all the action. She said they were pretty zen about it all. Figures....

Feisty...we must stand in solidarity! Fight the urge to buy an incubator. I would be up to my eyeballs in birds if I owned one. It scares me!

Ralphie...you gotta do what's right with Ginger. My dogs go through stringent health checks prior to any breeding. For their whole life really. And yes, I've had my heart broken by a few I just loved but weren't going to make the grade. It's tough but if you care about the breed you do what's right.

So when is Coffee becoming a turkey moma?

Aurora! Sounds like your having a Merry Christmas! Sounds like your husband is in the Christmas spirit! :lol:

Feisty, I thought it was the one hen.

I've been a bum all day. I'm at my other house in Missouri. Have a party tonight, then tomorrow off to my sisters. So I've been catching up on my reading. Loving it! Just miss my hens. Also grateful the tornado missed us. And I still can't believe how warm it is.
This weather is so strange! :/

Hope everyone is surviving Christmas! After two days of holiday activities with family...I'm exhausted! Loz, how great that you got an incubator! I got a beautiful turkey ornament. I need to post a picture. Ralphie. ..did your DW like the Porters Gift Certificate?
And what a beautiful day it was! Sunny & high 50's. Altough not very Christmas like weather. Now, apparently, the rain is moving in for the next three days with flood warnings. :rolleyes: Yuck!
