Oh....Ralph...congratulate Ethel for me! You must post her glamor shot! I'm assuming there will be a photo session! Geez, isn't this your third bird on the site?

Ralph...think you can stuff Ginger in a big box & mail him to me? That's if Coffee passes on him!

Aurora, I think Feisty & I are showing great restraint!

Ralphie...didn't you say you needed a Bourbon Red to create yet another 100 varieties or so?

Sounds like a good plan Ralphie. Dheltzel....call when you get close to Memphis! And of course we expect tons of baby pictures! !

Cute shot of Ethel. Ralph, you need to stage your photos better. She should be standing on the hood of some fancy pickup!

Yeah...that's is....Ethel posing on the hood of a classic pickup with a rose in her beak! Head thrown back, feathers blowing in the wind, and a set of pearls around her neck! I can just see it! We could come up with all kinds of fun staging for turkey photos! We could blow the minds of the "other" fowl calendar people!

JJ in a top hat, Adam in a Superman cape, an action shot of Turkules falling off of something (and injuring himself again ) We could round up a bunch of R2elk's Slates, dye their tails pink & put them in tutu's!

Sorry...I'm exhausted!

That would be great! Maybe Aurora could make a Santa suit for JJ! She makes aprons, she could make a red one with white fur trim & a black belt!

Honestly, if I started dressing up my birds my family would commit me! They were used to the chickens, but the turkeys are freaking them out!

So...I got this beautiful turkey ornament, a tub of dried meal worms, and a cute dish towel with a turkey on it. And Loz got an incubator. ...anybody else get any cool turkey/chicken stuff for Christmas?

Feisty. ..a chicken swing & toys! How cool is that? Love it!

Uhmm. ..you may want to reconsider a swing for the turkeys. Turkules. I'd hate for him to injure himself again!

We should do a calendar! I may experiment with Daisy. She's so easy going...wonder how she would react to wearing a tutu & leggings! I have a vision of a flock of Slate hens in pink tutus!

I hope you can get it redone. My house in Ste. Genevieve was built in 1820. Log and timber frame. I restored it. It was a challenge but I really enjoyed it. I have a soft spot for old houses. Are you doing this yourself or will you get a contractor involved.
