MM...sorry you lost one of your SS. It's definitely my favorite breed. So personable. And so pretty. My Big Betty is my head gardener. And big moma to every little pullet I've added over the years. She shows them all the ropes & keeps them all in line.

Ralphie! ! Come on down south of the Mason Dixon ! We can hit some joints for a little real deal Blues. And don't forget Memphis is the home of the International World Championship BBQ Contest! BBQ & music on every corner. And don't forget...ELVIS! It rocks down here!

I might think about a tom. A "calico"? I have the Slate & Bourbon Red. ..it could get really colorful around here! Do you have any lap toms? Or are they all delinquents?

Saw you guys talking about cool weather. It's almost 6:30 here and still 86 degrees. Even with it this warm Daisy still hops up for lap time. She's got me trained I guess. She's gotten to the point of laying on her side with her legs straight out. Head on my arm. I just pet her...her eyes close & you can feel her whole body relax. Funny bird.

I have to keep an eye on mine too. The Bourbon Red hasn't wandered off but Daisy has jumped into the neighbors yard a few times. She only does that when she wants to lay an egg. But now she is using her nest box so maybe she won't do that again. Now she just jumps over the gate & comes to the back door when I go inside. :rolleyes:

That would be funny ....working on something in your garage & a herd of turkeys wander in! :lol:

The turkey swing sounds interesting. I've seen chicken swings. Keep us posted on it.

I'm suspecting Daisy pulled Annie's beard out. They aren't with the chickens and when they are the chickens ignore them. I had Annie on my lap last evening. After about 15 minutes Daisy started pulling on her tail. Daisy is jealous. I think she considers my lap her personal roost. Hopefully it will grow back. I want it to get long enough to braid...she'd look cute with a little dreadlock! :D

MM...did you get the new hen? How is your daughter?
