Chaos....Kevin may be a member of the fashion police.

Ralph...you blew it! You could have easily dropped off a belly button here in Memphis & swung by Feedman ' s to restock! You could have borrowed Holm's turkey harness. Vacationing with a turkey could have been an adventure of a lifetime! !

Feedman...whaaat? You mean a hen can get bred once & produce fertile eggs for a season? So even if exposed to another tom, her poults would be the product of the first male who bred her?

Kevin may just be just desperately seeking fashionable boots!

Feedman just blew my mind! Had no idea about the viability of tom semen! Maybe I just borrow a tom for a week!

Why am I having visions of Penguin quietly /secretly having "dates" with all of Ralphie ' s hens and come hatching time....nothing but little Penguins!

Sorry...still obsessing over a toms viability. ...

There you go Ralphie....R2elk has solved all your problems! Few Red Bourbons and all is good! Maybe Aurora will send you some Adam eggs. He's quite the hunk!

I'm still wrapping my mind around the breeding thing.

Wow he is old for a BB. Could it be with the swelling and all it just hurts to walk on it? Sounds like you've taken care of the abscess and have him on the antibiotics...only thing I can think of is it may hurt to walk on it. Maybe someone would have a better idea over on the Emergency Thread.

WOW, WOW,WOW!! Can't believe it Aurora! MERRY CHRISTMAS! ! I still think it's odd some of our hens are laying this time a year! Got another egg from Daisy yesterday.

There is at least three of us with hens laying. All across the country. Seems highly unusual. Ralphie. ..you might want to keep an eye on your boys!

Do I dare take Daisy for a picture with Santa? He'll be at the feed store Sunday. She's great with company here. Loves to be petted by all. But Santa is one weird looking dude. Don't want her freaked out. Not to mention a location she's not used too. Sure is tempting. ..

Yep Feisty...Daisy is quite the fashion critic. That's my big hesitation. Santa would be completely out of her realm of experience. But if I'm holding her she's is usually fairly confident. She's let all kinds of folks come up & meet her. I'm still debating. ..

Another consideration with Santa. All dogs getting pictures after Daisy will smell turkey. That could be weird for them. And God forbid she has an unfortunate "accident ". That would completely ruin Santa for the day!
